Your daily Kierkegaard. Philosopher Kierkegaard's popularity on blogs seems to be, um, soarin'. Plough's Daily Dig (which I discovered thanks to Rachel Cunliffe and Jordon Cooper) offers up yet another SK quotation -- one that seems very appropriate for our day and age:
Journalists are animal-keepers who provide something for the public to talk about. In ancient days people were cast to the wild animals. Now the public devours the people -- those tastefully prepared by the journalists.
A suggested update for the Internet age: substitute bloggers for journalists. Nah. Bloggers aren't that bad. Are we? Are we?
