Must-Read/Watch Tuesday
So, I subscribe to a few of Warren Ellis' 182 blogs, and I usually sort of skim over them. Every once in a while I'll follow something he's got up that looks interesting but it's usually HERE IS AN ECCENTRIC PHOTOGRAPHER I LIKE or HEY GUYZ THE INTERNET. He had a video linked today called Gin And The Cognitive Surplus, highly recommended.
I skipped it.
It turned up again in my normal daily reddit-browsing, so I decided, it's a slow hour at work, let's read the transcript.
Simply one of the best pieces on social growth, the long-term impact of social technology on 21st century Western civilization, and where our era is hopefully headed I've ever read.
