What I don't get is how the Intertubes—which seem to have a tendency to shove the reality of the mind-bending giganticness of the human population down your throat—and
special-snowflakeness can be comorbid phenomena. Are they related or developing
on separate tracks?
Maybe it’s just because I was younger, but God knows that
before the net became everyone’s local pub, I was far less aware of how many
people there are out there who are smarter than I am. (See my blogroll for a
partial list and also, admittedly, a few amusing exceptions.)
Maybe snowflakeness is a form of denial.
