Technological tolerance?
Is it possible to love (or at least be really dedicated to) a blog? In what way does this medium even matter?
As E.M. Forster said in 1941, “The idea that nations should love one another, or that business concerns or marketing boards should love one another, or that a man in Portugal should love a man in Peru of whom he has never heard—it is absurd, unreal, dangerous…. The fact is we can only love what we know personally. And we cannot know much.”
Is this thought still true? (Was it ever?) And if it is true, have we simply expanded what we know personally or are we suffering a mass illusion about what is called social media?
