jazzy_daveI gently touched upon to a newbie reader of my blog the fact that I would rather not see the FB-imported "like button".
So within a couple of days of them being newly minted friends, they have reversed the process with me. I did not mean to upset them but then .. as I have stated before, a comment, even a shorter one, reminds me that you are a human and not a machine.
We seem to be on a losing battle though. It is like the disappearance of nuanced opinions and that everything has to be so black and white. The middle ground is falling away to a diametrically opposed shouting ground. Us or them politics is the order of the day.
The loss of nuanced dialectic discourse that philosophy favoured, and the kind of intelligent converse that emanated, has floated away in a sea of cacophonous babble.
So, like it or not, this is the state of play. Rant over and out.
