I'm very good at hiding things in plain sight, I notice. Good things, I hope.
I'm also very good (bad?) at forgetting recent statements and goal-oriented ponderances, (
I'm done with words.) I've noticed.
I really liked your statement about the butterfly net; I've got to figure out where to use it next, and in what context.
I believe it fit well into this thoughtful reading I did yesterday...

But beyond that, one factor in why I believe we really are living in a cultural golden age—the way technology has made art of all sorts more available to everyone than at any previous point in human history—also works to fuel this longing for the past. Particularly for the generation that grew up without the Internet, the easy availability of culture doesn’t seem like a boon; instead, by flooding everyone with an astonishing amount of choice, it seems instead to curse them with so much to choose from that it’s easy for their minds to shut down. In the face of media oversaturation—and media decentralization, which contributes to a situation where there are few trusted voices of authority to act as cultural guides—it’s tempting to just write it all off as a bunch of crap you’re better off not knowing about.
