I just found this through Evangelical Outpost. It is the first part of a paper analyzing and defending blogging by philosopher John Mark Reynolds. The introduction is tantalizing...
So far, here is why I like it:
1. It has a nifty philosopher joke. 'A pizza is better than a philosopher because a pizza can feed a family...unlike the philosopher.' (Tee hee)
2. It addresses networking, at least peripherally.
3. It addresses the cultural transition from the live performance as entertainment to the preserved performance. There is a lot to this issue. Not only are live performances waning in popularity (Hollywood over Broadway), but people passively accept entertainment far more often than they actively create it. In many ways, this makes us vulnerable to the messages the Hollywood elite chooses to communicate through their entertainment. Query: would we be more influential people if we put more emphasis on being able to speak articulately to and entertain others?
