I saw David Byrne lecture on how he loves PowerPoint. The funny thing was how excited he was by all of the iconography. It was like he just discovered remote control TV.
The most interesting thing he said was about the changing nature of communications. Business needs force people to sublimate their native cultures for corporate cultures. People aren't free to express their own cultures until they leave work. This creates a kind of schizophrenic lifestyle that isn't healthy for the mind.
I spent the weekend at a Moose Lodge in a small city west of Detroit. I had to avoid telling people that I think Ronald Reagan is dead. The Republicans are just storing his corpse on ice so they can announce his death at a time that will benefit them politically. This idea would not have fit within the Moose culture.
