  I have periodic moments – whether delusional or not is too soon to tell – where I'm struck by the enormous potential that many of our most foundational frameworks of society will unravel in the next several decades.

Spin, via Seth

I think there’s a huge opportunity for a trusted media source that takes on spin from all quarters and throws it back in the face of the spinner. Show them video of themselves from last week and ask them to respond. Oh, I’m probably just being a hopeful idealist.
