How well do you compress data?
Friday, October 23rd, 2009That is to say, how well do you understand things?
If understanding and meaning are proving to be somewhat elusive for you, there is a good chance you are doing just fine. That is the good news.
The flip side is that you may be feeling somewhat isolated. And that can be disconcerting.
According to George Herbert Mead, the individual mind can exist only in relation to other minds with shared meanings. So if you aren’t connecting, maybe that is a good thing.
With that in mind, I am prescribing to anyone feeling adrift some therapeutic exercise time on Facebook. This may cause you to feel very good about yourself.
If this post is confusing to you…good. Construct your own reality around it. Better yet, construct it with one of your Facebook connections.
