Got random media requests from CNN and WaPo today (said no to both). Some sort of major disturbance in the force. I've gone from basically 1-2 such big name media requests in a decade to two in a day?

I realized my heuristic for saying yes/no to media requests, big or small, is "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
Conceited perhaps, but I only talk long-term event trends or ideas. Average-Plus to Great zone.

(the requests weren't anything to do with me... just requests for talking-head commentary on stuff I have no particular insight into... I guess I've reached some sort of D-list "available for comments on Tech Things" tier of the matrix by accident)

been there, done that, nothing really came of it... satisfied curiosity but the circuit held no particular appeal for me
