I have friends who are militant Mac advocates. They’re constantly on me to switch from my archaic PC because “Mac is so much better at processing video.” When I tell them that I don’t really create video and that my PC does everything I need it to do, they assure me I’m being unreasonable, and go off to rub their boners together while talking about what the next iPad might look like.

That’s bullshit. Your “true” self isn’t represented by a single facet of your personality. It’s the collective effort of a complex system of checks and balances. That uninhibited, somewhat stupid wild side is your Star Wars prequels-era George Lucas, throwing out whatever comes to mind at any particular second without a fear of consequences or how it appears to others. Your sober, rational mind is the entire crew from The Empire Strikes Back, constantly reminding him, “No. What you’re about to do is retarded. This ‘Jar Jar’ thing belongs on the cutting room floor — you’ll thank us later.” Saying that your drunken, uninhibited side is your “true” self is an insult. Without those voices to keep you in check, you’re The Phantom Menace.

After going through some “Best of 2011” lists, I’m increasingly flummoxed by the 80s revival that is going on. What am I to think when I look for cutting-edge indie music and all I find are bands that sound like Men at Work tribute bands (e.g. Cut Copy)? Hell, I knew Men at Work was lame when I was six. Is this merely a manifestation of the Irony Generation’s congenital inability to distinguish the lame from the awesome?

Once upon a time, “We, the people” was the preamble to a charter that reminded those in government of the limitations on the power granted to them. In today’s political discourse, “we” is more often the preamble to something like a call for an involuntary collective health system.

[I]f disagreement is real—if large numbers of my fellow citizens sincerely hold very different views about what policy is best—then protest, however vital as a consciousness raising tool, can only be a preparation for the more humdrum enterprise of convincing your neighbors with sustained arguments (or being convinced yourself), electing candidates, and all the rest. To imagine protest not as prologue to politics, but as a substitute for it, suggests a denial of the reality of pluralism, and an unwillingness to find out what democracy actually looks like.
