First Things First

Has always been my policy. And second things second. But sometimes, when I'm feeling especially fey, I do third things fourth, and the fourth things third!

Don't tell.

    Huh?!

    I am almost afraid to ask, but what prompted this?

    By the way, do you know what the header is referencing?

    I would imagine that it has to do with current instability of nations and its threat to "whirled peas". Sure, it is a generality, but things are quite strange these days. More war seems to be afoot.

    If you were thinking of something more specific, then I must say that I am at a loss.

    Well, there is the whole Ron Artest thing, as well. Haha!

    I have a feeling that you wouldn't change your header just for "Metta World Peace". It's got to be deeper than that.

    Well, it was mostly just my chuckling about Artest, but if there is anything deeper, it's that perhaps this blog can best be called "the blog with the ever changing name."

At one large organization where a friend works, two black cafeteria cooks were asked to prepare a special meal in honor of African-American history month. No doubt, they thought back to their own childhood and prepared on meal of ribs, collard greens, and cornbread. A much higher status member of the organization came to the cafeteria and was sorely offended by their "stereotyping." She got them fired. So this highly privileged woman got two much less privileged, minority workers, who were probably supporting families on their low wages, thrown out of work because they had offended her progressive ideology by implying that African-American people ever ate African-American cuisine. Hey, fair's fair!

Well, So What?

Various readers have at times dismissed the idea that the pervasive and incessant use of smartphones is really something radically new in human history. David Samuels at Wired knows they are wrong:

"The machines and systems that the techno-monopolists have built are changing us faster than they or we understand. The scale of this change is so vast and systemic that we simple humans can’t do the math—perhaps in part because of the way that incessant smartphone use has affected our ability to pay attention to anything longer than 140 or 280 characters."
