How Do You Examine Yourself?

What's a Lefty to do in this conceptual age?

 Aspects of a stories potrayal is important to the way a reader absrobs it, but I think the platform it's on plays a big part, as I mentioned. As evident with Twitter's influence on the Arab Spring, Twitter's seemless capability to enable people to influence one another demonstrates the siginificance of relatability in news appeal. A single piece of information can be "retweeted" by the masses, evidently acknowledged across the world, reflecting peoples' interest. Now if only Twitter had an additional option to "perform", because clearly a chain reaction comes from somewhere.

 Another one of the many ways a Dark Age is emerging is through North American universities promising credentials rather than education, as it has become their business. There is a barrier to cultural development of the west formed by canned and preserved knowledge.

This exercise would reflect meditation but doesn't necessarily have to be relaxing  rather enhances one's mind so that they are sharp with their thinking, responsive, & aware.

Design is utility, enhanced by significance

  However I think the real question is how people apply that online participation to the "real" world. There is not much use to expressing one's desire about political phenomena if it's only being verbalized & not enacted. Social Media has definitely given rise to activism but I dont believe that it's currently the underlying reason for any reform.
