Andrew Orlowski: semantic ethnic-cleansing [via Sean McGrath]

Fascinating, indeed.

Some people are anti-big business.  Some people are anti-big government.  But if you strip away all of this, power laws still apply, and the people who are selected still have bandwidth limitations and personal objectives, and the end result is the same.

If you are a glass is half empty kinda person, this can lead one to despair.  If you are a glass is half full kinda person, it leads to the revelation that a single person with enough patience and persistence can make a huge impact. 

Me?  I try to manufacture serendipity whenever I can.
