Idiots debating idiots who are supported by idiots. Welcome to Web 2.0.

That’s funny, that’s exactly what I was thinking. Amazon is shit...now buy stuff here.

Absolutely this. When republicans point and say to liberals “You lost.” I just reply with “No, we lost, you just don’t realize it (yet).” I might sound smug, but it doesn’t take wiz to realize this President has his own agenda and it isn’t about America. You might think his bans and walls and whatever else he does is…

This is exactly what happens when you create platforms that offer little barrier to entry. Or as Andrew Keen argued “Web 2.0 has created a cult of digital narcissism and amateurism, which undermines the notion of expertise by allowing anybody, anywhere to share and place undue value upon their own opinions about any…

Why is it “do you think...” Why isn’t it - “she violated a federal law. What’s the consequence?” If you ask this administration if they think someone did something bad, do you think you’re going to get a logical answer? Come on. Do you think anyone in this administration is reasonable or gives a shit about laws? Laws…

Politics and the fact that she gave hundreds and thousands to the people who voted for her.

A troll is a troll is a troll. Hiding behind “free speech” when you have no ideology other than more “views” and ego stroking is the game this guy plays. He taken his game of exploiting the weaknesses of Web 2.0 social media to a real world stage. Bully, Troll, video people, and cry “oh poor me, I’m the victim here.”…

Trump is a Troll with no ideology. He’s not a Republican, he’s a self-absorbed narcissist energized by both positive and negative publicity. He wants his inner circle to fear him lest be fired. Bannon wants this too so he can carry out whatever agenda he has. We cannot treat these people as reasonable or even mentally…

Devotion = Devo = Deevolution = mankind has actually begun to regress, as evidenced by the dysfunction and herd mentality of American society.

As someone with diagnosed anxiety, I often have to die to live. I have to go to that place to move forward. I’ve had to do that a lot with a Trump Presidency. Anxious folks like predictability. He is anything but predictable. So, he challenges me to live in the moment and deal with what comes as it comes. That said,…

The next time I hear someone say “you lost, stop your whining,” my response will be “We all lost, you’re just too stupid to know it yet.”

Makes total sense. I’m a closet Corporate Culture nerd and what I see most is that when culture and/or leadership turn sour, there’s a drop in retention. A big piece of the culture part is authenticity. If your culture doesn’t reward authenticity - the ability at all levels to not B.S. one another, you’re probably in…

I too struggled with “getting to know the other side” idea right after the election. Thing is, I already engage with well educated, thoughtful, Republicans (I know a couple). I have some acquaintances whose Republican families saw through Trump’s hate, etc. and voted Hillary. But, should I spend energy getting to know…

Donald Trump is the planet’s “super user.” With his money, power, and I don’t give a shit attitude, he’s able to surface holes in everything from the Internet to our Constitution to the laws and rules of other nations. Hopefully he’s a wakeup call to all the people who design things that rely on people being…

I’m a luddite by today’s standards, but I can see where VR could have a place in every day society. The type of dystopian society in Earnest Cline’s Ready Player One (where we spend a majority of our time “plugged in” to to a virtual reality via haptic chairs and VR goggles) doesn’t seem too far fetched to me. The…

Pros:

I’m just glad we can afford to pay millions of dollars to people before they ever show an actual value to any organization. Talking about exec pay in Silicon Valley is taboo, but handing millions to people who no next to nothing about leadership, culture, and so on is ridiculous.

MINOR SPOILERS

Smart watches never passed the one test I have for all technology and that is: if I already have an easier, lower cost, way to do the primary thing I need to do, don’t spend the money. 

Stranger Things was addictive, yet kind of stupid in a “no one would climb into a tree in a dark forest” thing too. Luke Cage, for me, got boring and stupid too. The season could have been half as long with Cottomouth as the main villain.
