Found a huge INTELLECTUAL HOLE in The Clue­train Mani­festo:

4. Whether deli­ve­ring infor­ma­tion, opi­nions, pers­pec­ti­ves, dis­sen­ting argu­ments or humo­rous asi­des, the human voice is typi­cally open, natu­ral, uncontrived. 

Wow. That’s the most UTTERLY WRONG thing I’ve ever read in my life.
They obviously don’t go to the right parties.

    It’s the “sub­text”, the true mea­ning in a human voice that you are refe­rring to in your party exam­ple. And that may not be open, and is con­tri­ved, but it’s natu­ral, right?

    Pro­bably used to be that way, before TV and maga­zine ads, and mar­ke­ting con­cepts and alll that shit.
    Back when there were mar­kets in the pla­zas and main streets and all that .… befor emalls and big boxes and reba­tes and sexy girls and sar­do­nic sound bites. You know, voi­ces and repu­ta­tions and stuff, so that the crappy stalls were all at the crappy loca­tions where no one went.

    They obviously didn’t go ANYWHERE, never mind the right parties!
