Political Views?

Does The Internet Increase Extreme
Political Views? 04/21/2004 03:42 AM
This past weekend I found myself stuck in a random debate with two people who were at one extreme end of the classic political spectrum. It's not worth naming which end, because I find people distantly at either end somewhat tiresome, not because I'm a "centrist" or a "moderate" (as I was accused), but because I've found that people at either end do two things that I find distasteful: (1) they assume that the political spectrum really is a straight line from left to right, and you have to fall somewhere along those lines and (2) they always take their standard arguments and distort them to prove their point (often using sample size 1 anecdotes as proof). It annoys me, even when I agree with the point being made, if someone needs to resort to deliberately misleading or intellectually sloppy means to prove their point. However, in focusing in on the intellectual sloppiness of an argument, it's usually possible to keep the debate from delving into typical left vs. right arguments (though, it sometimes confuses people who expect more typical left vs. right responses). One of the issues we discussed was health care, and these two (both lawyers) talked about stories of how they had seen cases where doctors for the patient would look at an MRI and say there were serious problems and a risk of death, while doctors for an insurance company would look at the same MRI and say that the person looked perfectly healthy. We eventually agreed that the analogy fit the political climate today as well. Because it's much easier to try to describe politics with soundbites that fit along the left-to-right spectrum, you always want to exaggerate your case to the extreme to at least drag people somewhat in your direction. Years ago (before the web) I thought a great idea for a magazine would be to have every issue present a pro/con set of articles on a controversial issue, hoping that showing both sides of a coin would force people to make up their own mind. Eventually, I began to realize that you needed more than two sides, because no story really just has two sides. Now, we have the web with its blogs that really do represent something like that magazine I had imagined, and the result isn't that people are being forced to make up their own mind, but that (like the situation with the doctors) they resort to further and further extremes to prove their point. It's not quite the "echo chamber" that everyone worries about - because people have no problem seeking out those with the opposite opinions, but only to trash them. Considering the intellectual sloppiness all over, it's usually pretty easy to trash either side if you want to pick through their arguments. The thing that almost no one seems to be doing, unfortunately, is admitting that most of these controversial issues are complex and need neither an extreme solution nor a "compromise" solution - but a more well thought-out approach that actually tries to deal with the real underlying issues - and not just the sound-bite elements. Unfortunately, that's unlikely to happen, because actually dealing with problems is both hard and somewhat boring.

A trip to LA's bootleg paradise: Santee
Alley 06/05/2005 11:42 PM
Xeni Jardin: This morning I went to the LA garment district knockoff haven known as Santee Alley, with pals Jeff Koga and Sean Bonner. We found lots of neat-o bootleg crap, including these awesome framed pirat e gangsta artworks (bad unauthorized photocopy of a still from Scarface on one side, and little diorama of toy machine gun, fake money, and blinged out bullets on the other side). Other finds included scrol ling digital LED belt buckles, clothing stores promising plus size fashions for "Phat Women", toy laptops running pirated warez, and much more. The best we can't blog yet... stay tuned for a report on the best booty of pirate-town, slated to run in Wired News on Tuesday (with photos shot by Sean and Jeff).
