A correspondent recently asked why Objectivism is a recurrent theme with me given that I don't consider myself an Objectivist. Although there's a much longer discussion on this boiling somewhere, part of it is that most humans aren't even remotely rational, they're still dominantly driven by herding instincts and react based on them. In the SF Bay Guardian, Brook Shelby Biggs touches on this in an article about consumerism and waste in e-commerce.

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.
