Oatmeal Agitante

nothing has crystalized for me specifically either but

had many discussions w/ people lamenting the fall of institutions people relied on for large-scale curation

to take a broad, easy example, "the death of Real(tm) music journalism"

have friends in the industry who are sad because now people won't know where to find good stuff

and i'm like "well it's all relative and people will find it themselves or find people who they entrust"

but people aren't used to that more organic peer-to-peer method of determining meaning

(vs the traditional more top-down delivery mechanism)
