Entry: Attack of the Reasonoids Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/attack_of_the_reasonoids#25158 Post contents: AND - there is a problem with that, in this mass-media driven world. You cannot take a high road any longer; you ignore repeated falsehoods at your own peril - cf what happened to Ron over those stupid (and hardly "racist") newsletters. All you have to do is watch how some jerk posts up some inane garbage and it gets repeated across 11M websites in 30 minutes... and drug up again like clockwork every month until it becomes the gospel-goddamn-truth. The internet is the spice of our little Dune, both a great thing and a very bad thing (I guess like all really useful tools). But the time for appearing above it all is long gone. The masses do not have the attention span for it. So, either strike when the iron is hot, or suffer the consequences later (over and over). Sent at: 2008 05 16
