I've become incredibly scornful of the Postmodernists. After some time trying to figure out what they're trying to say I've come to the conclusion that they really are as shallow and self-absorbed as their writing and criticism implies. But the futurists are kind of whacked too, so we really need a pre-futurist movement. Going a slightly different direction is Bruce Sterling's Viridian movement, for all you who've come out of your youth with the angst intact and guilt and self-reproach to boot. But at least we'll get some mighty impractical tea pots out of it.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
