Transitioning to a Sacred Culture
I've been fascinated with the transition from a Profane culture to a Sacred one for a long time. In 2008 (senior year in college), my final project for the course Religion in Culture was a video essay on the mashup artist Girl Talk. I analyzed his live shows through the lens of sociologists like Emile Durkheim and Victor Turner, and the concepts of Collective Effervescence and Communitas.

Inequality
Maciej is (1) a friend (2) very funny and (3) in agreement with my beliefs, so I couldn’t resist linking to Dabblers and Blowhards, his new essay. But the key issue that appealed to me about his piece is that the fundamental problem with many people who really get our goat on the Internet is that…
