“Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it….."
Ayn Rand
When the crowd speaks, who listens? It’s hard enough communicating a point of view face to face with a colleague. Now imagine posting a comment, critique, observation and then try to accommodate the rebuttal or counterpoint, or clarification. It’s cumbersome and frustrating.
Reasonable discussions and thoughtful threads are hard to maintain in a crowd forum where everyone has a vested interest in their own work and advancement.
What's the better way?
