The Roar of the Internet Hoards
This xkcd comic is a riot.
Am I mistaken to think that in previous times philosophical and scientific discourse was dominated by the few who had risen to the lofty stage of widespread exposure? Has the Internet changed all that? By lowering the threshold of exposure, is public discourse more of a roar of many, many voices? And, very importantly, is this a good thing? Can/will it be?
