I do appreciate the depth of this article, and I will be coming back to look at it in more detail.<br /><br />I do wonder, though, why it would make your heart sink? How you can describe it as a "tone-deaf, top-down misconception of the impact of the Internet on the public debate." Is it not possible that this was the very reason such a cover was used? Not a misconception, but a clear understanding of the furore it would create. Nothing is by chance, all is calculated?Roryhttp://acarpenterfromnazareth.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905155363976375938.post-15265690024748015102017-06-03T13:09:43.067-04:002017-06-03T13:09:43.067-04:00Thank you very much Marufur, I'm very grateful...Thank you very much Marufur, I'm very grateful for your kind comments.

But they got a lot of attention in the Underground over it, and I don't know if that was in fact their intention. <br /><br />My interest in these matters is not politically motivated; rather, I am trying to understand how technology is transforming society, politics, government, the economy, world cultures, and so on. I believe that no one fully understands how the system is changing. There is a race now from all sides to commandeer that change and profit from it. There are battles of narratives and memes; the more plastic information is, the more powerful it becomes. Thanks again for reading.LC Douglasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04250961297714038453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2905155363976375938.post-58047005543426569982017-01-17T21:17:31.576-05:002017-01-17T21:17:31.576-05:00wow you worked really hard on this.

I must say that when I got to your last line that said " I have no further comment than that I wish the Economist had not used this symbolism..." it make me giggle. I feel your pain.
