More than a clue.
My oldest, bestest buddy Barry—or Ampersand—has one of the best blogs going with his cohort Bean: Alas is smart, it’s committed, and if the comments section gets a little raucous sometimes, the rollicking, bare-knuckle noise never overwhelms the signal.
Today, Barry posted in its entirety a comment from regular poster PinkDreamPoppies. It’s a moving encapsulation of PinkDream’s views on women and men and how they’ve changed—where he’s been and what he didn’t know he didn’t know and where he’s on his way to—and all from talking, to women he knows, and comparing what he learns with his own mental models, and kicking ideas around in online debates at Alas and places like it.
It works, is what I’m trying to say. Talking works. Arguing works.
All too easy to forget, sometimes, out here in the Islets of Bloggerhans. (Why, yes. It is ironic.) —But this isn’t as important an insight as what PDP has to say, so go on already.
