Twitter / Steve Rubel “PC Mag is another. I have a free sub but it goes in the trash.”
You don’t have to wait long, in the ol’ blogosphere, before another asshole fairly pleads, See me, I am fool. I like to promote such events, as they contribute to the democratization of happiness. That appearances shall be revealed to crumble like the shabby crap they are, and the meek shall inherit the earth.
Have I told this one before?
See, the correct reading of that line is not Shall in the sense of Someday in the future … that’s just one of those biblical Shall’s. What was meant, what is meant, is that the meek—meaning your links are few because you are not an obnoxious expert-at-nothing but getting your name in front of the public—honey, the earth is already yours, your task but to see this.
I know, I know, link lust is a powerful thing, but nothing is without price. One would have never dreamt, just a few years ago—but has not this writing web become one of the wretched-most places on earth for sin and emptiness, displaying themselves most nakedly. Alongside enormous kindness and generosity, people pouring out what they know. Turns out the biggest humbling human need is, ha, To Share.
No I’m not going to link to the scene where Steve Rubel and the editor of PC Magazine suck and make up. Instead, maybe you want to meditate alongside me: does business have to be disgusting, to work?
