Isn't it amazing? I don't know what to make of that. People in cyberspace
seem so very self-accepting of everything, so un-self-conscious, so free of
any emotion I would call abashedness, so sure that regardless of their own
faults, it isn't their fault. The attitude seems to be whatever they are is
shared by countless others. I have seen people spill to the whole world
such intimate details about themselves, apparently with zero concern about
repercussions. In my own misspent youth, most people would never in a
million years confess to their closest friend that which is today freely
spilled into the public domain forever and ever amen.
How did that happen?
I am not objecting, nor saying it is a bad thing, rather the opposite. Just
wondering why.
