Sunday, 03 Feb 2002Recursions  Watching the blogs watching other blogs watching still more blogs. In the blogosphere, it's easy to get lost.Alternate title: Why I find it difficult to get any blogging done...- Today's Pundit Watch sounds off about sound bites, evaluates the 'State of the Pundit' and gives out a few well-deserved awards. Pundit watch links back to Quasipundit, which leads me to the blogwatch, and the new BlogWatch III.
- Hmmm... seems Natalije's pictures on Libertarian Samizdata are frustrating certain bloggers -- in more than one way. After a bit of clicking I get to...
- Charles Dodgson (another blog I need to add), who has a few pointed things to say about the latest ever-so-wonderful idea for Airport Security. His site sends me wandering until I find one that is interesting...
- Any blog that links the World Wide Curries site can't be all bad. And I'm pointed back to Kolkata Libertarian...
- Which has a fascinating discussion on the Anglosphere, citizenship, being an expat and... oh zark. Just go read it -- lots of food for thought there. Kolkata leads me off to a blog...

It has neither accorded him a superior status to sustain his confidence nor made it easy for him to acquire an unquestioned sense of social usefulness. For he derives his sense of usefulness mainly from directing, instructing, and planning- from minding other people's business- and is bound to feel superfluous and neglected where people believe themselves competent to manage individual and communal affairs, and are impatient of supervision and regulation. A free society is as much a threat to the intellectual's sense of worth as an automated economy is to the workingman's sense of worth.
