Point Taken

The Yale Union (or whatever anglophillic name it has) recently debated the efficacy of blogs. One comment deserving of some thought:

It's not that meta-narrative "distracts us from the issues". It's that as it insists that the important thing is to find the hidden side of everything, it ensures that instead of letting politics stir something in our chests, we create a culture that cackles at conviction and calls passion puerile - it insists that politics be solely a sport of the mind and that belief and inspiration - the prerequisites to participation - are naïve and intellectually immature. Bloggers are ruining the movie.
