Yeah, I apparently only responded to part of what was said in a bit of haste this afternoon. The streamed-vs-scheduled is what I'm referring to in regards to the conversation happening in real time.

I don't want to sound like I'm fully in agreement with Rushkoff's perspective since it's not, in my opinion, a concrete methodology or completed lens just yet.

You're missing the point. He's not talking about the quality of the conversation, but that the conversation in real-time has become the new tradition for many people and replaced the next day 'water cooler talk'. It's not a profound observation, but that doesn't mean it's unimportant or lacks other implications.

The problem with memes for social change is that those that can be used for such a thing end up becoming just, as some black panthers described after giving up on the notion of a revolution, 'cult-iconography' to be plastered around. So, rather than help promote actual social actions, they merely give the illusion and…

But, people like Jimmy (and the audience) have only ever seen Nucky's other half, the…

@avclub-3521a3a5bcfea0fe1189f8bc13af1f99:disqus I think labeling Nolan's Batman films as 'realistic' is a misconstruing of his intent and likely stems from people getting lost in the visual aesthetics of the films. In my view, rather than attempting to be realistic, Nolan is taking the various themes and subtext and…
