@MaggieHilliard yes but i doubt that is understood outside of your industry. most really don't understand the value of a very good editor.

@davegray i'd argue the reverse. based on depth - specialists can enjoy the volumes of niches that populate the internet.
@davegray that size of specialist community fosters social activity a bit more b/c of commonalities/density.
@MaggieHilliard b/c of how the public understands the publishing industry? they think authors are the stars b/c they're the creators.

I believe in science and art, and the promise and potential of design to bring them together to change the world. In our intellectual institutions, and our society in general, science and art live mostly separate lives- developing separate worldviews, distinct methods, specialist language, and segregated communities of thought and practice.

OURS is the first age in which many thousands of the best-trained individual minds have made it a full-time business to get inside the collective public mind. To get inside in order to manipulate, exploit, control is the object now. And to generate heat not light is the intention. To keep everybody in the helpless state engendered by prolonged mental rutting is the effect of many ads and much entertainment alike.
 
Since so many minds are engaged in bringing about this condition of public helplessness, and since these programs of commercial education are so much more expensive and influential than the relatively puny offerings sponsored by schools and colleges, it seemed fitting to devise a method for reversing the process. Why not use the new commercial education as a means to enlightening its intended prey? Why not assist the public to observe consciously the drama which is intended to operate upon it unconsciously?

Against the backdrop of the evolution of media and its powerful gathering of news material and data, all of the world’s happenings are trimmed like a lawn by a mower, with fragments of information flying about from place to place through the media as grass flies through the air. These broken pieces of information adhere to our tofu-like brain like... - http://jratlee.com/post...
@Day19 haha good!
@Day19 the more you worry about crap like that means less time you spend on your art and craft. a hard to balance, but simple, equation.
