Clay Shirky will be sparring again with Jaron Lanier in my mind the next few months, as I warm up to a new season of beekeeping with L.L. Langstroth. Shirky's '94 book that I'm reading now is preventing me from throwing him out before the fight starts.

@33MHz I admire you for your patience to touch anything by Lanier with your bare hands.

@Konrad That's fighting words! Too pessimistic for you? Naive? Bombastic? 🔥🚜

@33MHz Too wrapped up in himself, too little knowledge of social science.

@Konrad Is there an alternative critique of online identity? He's an indiewebber.

I've found his rhetoric too experiential years ago, but have agreed with all his points.

@33MHz I'm quite fond of Aral Balkan myself, but I don't know of any books he's written. He /is/ fairly outspoken, though.

@Konrad well now there are three players duking it out. We'll see who survives in my mind.
