On the subject of Jaron Lanier on ‘Persistent Somnolence’ there is an article in the NYT – Cutting and Pasting: A Senior Thesis by (Insert Name):
“If we look closely at plagiarism as practiced by youngsters, we can see that they have a different relationship to the printed word than did the generations before them. When many young people think of writing, they don’t think of fashioning original sentences into a sustained thought. They think of making something like a collage of found passages and ideas from the Internet.
They become like rap musicians who construct what they describe as new works by “sampling” (which is to say, cutting and pasting) beats and refrains from the works of others.
This habit of mind is already pervasive in the culture and will be difficult to roll back. But parents, teachers and policy makers need to understand that this is not just a matter of personal style or generational expression. It’s a question of whether we can preserve the methods through which education at its best teaches people to think critically and originally.”
One has to understand that the Jews or any doctrinal culture that relies on the tradition of mental molestation of helpless young minds have been doing this “sampling” for a few thousand years now. A page of Talmud is the perfect example of a mashup or to be more accurate a “collage”. A typical Rabbi is a rapper mouthing off a quote after quote to a well rehearsed beat. Just now the internet brought that “light” to the world and the general culture is finally catching up to the derivative Jewish hell.
