He sounds a lot like H G Wells in "A Man at the End of his Tether." I fear Facebook and (I fear) increasingly Clipmarks are both guilty of promoting a culture of celebrity and 'media-ocrity' which Harold Bloom abhors. It is regrettable because, as I have said before, Clipmarks (and so many of its Clippers) are capable of a higher quality of public attention to what matters.

I don't know that Clipmarks shares much if any of the blame...but most certainly our "sound bite" media culture that makes sound, rational thinking almost a vice is leading our headlong charge to self destruction.
