I am sick to death of sweaters. Minnesota has been in the grip of long and unusually bone-breaking cold, and I just want to shed all my dreary wraps and run free and naked down the street, dappled in sunlight and accosting squirrels.

Why? Why any more so than in the space age or the jet age or the jazz age or the steam train age?Ben Steen wrote: Obviously 'traditional' perspectives are bound to be suspect in the information age.

Perhaps because in non-information ages, you had to be where the handing-down happened, you had to be part of the tradition in order to have access to it. In the information age, on the other hand, it's easy to have access to the substance of the tradition without being part of it. Like you can find music for all these traditional tunes on the web and imagine you are playing Irish traditional music, when really you aren't.Brus wrote:Why?

Just a guess.

Re: Lock this if you like.
Brus, I'm not saying any age is at odds with tradition. Personally I think a vital, living tradition keeps an ear to what's happening around it. Though w/exponential expansion of the rapidity w/which information is spread it can result in unresolved tension(s), lots of Tweets & subsequently tradition is an easy mark.

Good theory, old chap.

Isn't that what results in "a frank and honest exchange of opinions"?Ben Steen wrote:"Frankly, I am ok with anyone telling me how he/she feels. I would accept honesty and respond with honesty."
In other words, a stand-up screaming-match, or worse...

Open, shared (& self) honesty works very well for me & I feel I can relate with Emily's experience (w/honesty); as she shares it in her blog.
Though, as Innocent Bystander points out, there is a vast universe of experiences & we each have our individual ways of getting through it;
