Hello! Gosh... I visited my grandparents over Christmas/New Year period, and today ran for the first time since the visit. My legs would hardly carry my weight... Seriously, as I am sure most grandparents are, mine are almost criminal in their insistence that I eat a LOT! The visit followed a simple routine: eat, sleep, then repeat.
(Thank you grandmum and granddad! I love you :))
Hahaha :) I thought I'd share that... but now to the real point, and that is this amazing article by Jaron Lanier - http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/12/the-hazards-of-nerd-supremacy-the-case-of-wikileaks/68217/
I have been having doubts about Wikileaks and they had been increasing with time, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was that was troubling me, and when I tried to talk it over, or write it down it was infantile and shallow. Basically, the effect this article had, I think can be explained by the laser analogy: my thoughts were in a kind of state of population inversion, and basically, reading it was like sending a photon at the correct frequency resulting in a crystallisation of my ideas! :D Ahhhh! Totally cool :)
