I know that people want to think somehow that technology will ultimately save us, but we’re a lazy, anti-rational, anti-intellectual culture. While I occasionally find something of value checking my Twitter page, more often than not I’m like, “holy fuck–are people really that superficial and vapid?”

With all due respect to Mr. Stone and his glowing endorsement of Twitter, I’m still finding greed, narcissism, egotism, not to mention homophobia, racism, and all those glorious human traits just as prevalent, despite his newest tool.

Oh, I forgot. The grand evolution is slated to happen next week.
