"In this keynote "invocation," which opened the second day of Personal Democracy Forum on June 24, 2008, he argues that there is no such thing as "personal democracy" and genuine democratic discourse can only be participatory and collective. The power to write and publish, he notes, may finally be in the hands of everyone (after centuries of domination by religious and political elites), but real democracy isn't

Just wrote a blog post as a riff from yr post above... I'm not sure the world does get better as people get more efficient. It works better, but what it's working toward ain't necessarily the 'better'. Though I do sympathize with yr final point -- b…
