[lbo-talk] We Live in Public

[mart]

i dont know what this thread is about, but if its idealizing face to face small town relationships, one can remember alot of that can be a soap opera, or something like pareto's law---80% spend time gossiping about 20% (and it might not be worth the effort, though may be neccesary due to the 'principle of least effort' or action, which operates in an irrationally curved space.  this leads to thinking about the relation between kinds of numbers and space---eg spengler---which people still write about, or noncommutative geometry. )

Except that we've met and hung out many times, which probably wouldn't have happened in a pre-internet world.
