What came first, the Comment or the Post?
In reference to an anonymous comment in yesterday's post. first of all thank you for the paragraph of opinion from anonymous, though you must reveal your name to make your point ring absolutely true."Anyone aspiring for public office, goes through moments of self-righteousness" (Kundera)
I completely agree with that which you've said, in that (paraphrasing of course) it is important to continue to write openly via an available medium if intrigued in maintaining ones ideals. Although, that which I would love to see changed in the modern working world is that the veil of importance people put on personal values and political thought not reflect on your position nor ability to get a particular job done.
I am now in the industry of intellectual property and unfortunately, popularity and likeness is a direct co-relation to someone deciding that you are the right person to manage a project.
However, I have fully invested myself into the non-profit and community organizations of the project management realm resulting in that which you frame as "counter" culture, is actually traditional youth mindset.
The medium is indeed the message, and simply being involved in the most democratic form of self driven press available to the public is enough for me to continue to write on this medium furthering the message of independent and free media, though under a very omnipresent force; Google. Despite the awkward feeling one gets when blogs written in twenty minutes over a tea and a lunch break become that which you have to represent yourself as, once more and more of your peers start reading your words.
Not that this blog even receives that many hits, so really its not even an issue, yet!
