Subliminal Pattern Recognition and RSS Readers

I've mentioned this video before but it's worth a reminder. Teemu Arina writes, "This is exactly why those people who use RSS readers to scan through thousands of feeds, read blog posts from various decentrally connected sources and who engage themselves into assembling multiple unrelated sources of information into one (probing connections between them) have much greater ability to sense and respond to changing conditions in increasingly complex environments than those who read only the major newspapers, watch only the major news networks and don't put themselves into a difficult situation of being hammered with a lot of stuff at once." Yup. Teemu Arina, Tarina, November 6, 2008. [Link] [Tags: Networks, Video, RSS, Web Logs] [Previous][Next]

Teemu's point is well made and written, but the video itself is questionable and there are a number of sites debunking it as impossibly done featuring paid actors. I hate to see good theory tied to a weak example like this just for its obvious sensationalist appeal. [Comment] [Permalink] [Previous][Next]
