Dan said to John:
I tend to dismiss the "hive mind" notion, John. Sorry. Seems a bit melodramatic
but that's just me. In the MOQ, social patterns of value are likened to the
Giant. I tend to believe that's what you are on about in most of your posts,
this one included. The Giant devours the individual. The Giant is all around.

Yep, I agree with Dan. I think John's complaints about the hive mind have very
little to do with the intellectual level. The social level, where fame and
fortune drives the engine, has become a pretty empty thing in our consumer
culture. The whole thing is about who's cool and who has the latest gadgets and
who adopts the latest tends the fastest. It's like the whole country is in high
school. Cinema, the art form that's ever existed, is mostly used to dish up
comic book heros. We live in a baby-proofed McDisney world where even the grown
ups are children. That's not intellect. That's just infantile hedonism - make
that gasoline-powered infantile hedonism.
Twinkie anyone?
