Thank You for sharing!

What a bunch of self righteous douchebags. None of you are doing anything worth a shit. Your lives are all meaningless but you pretend to have an "impact" to keep yourself from realizing this. You are nothing but a breeder ad war fodder. You will never change anything.

Hi Mike,
I dig what you're doing. Watching the "Machine" drilled home a lot of inspiring ideas. I wanted to express my interest in collaborating to research to what degree the same expereinces (alienation, fragmentation, anonymity...euphoria) are shared by Arab socieites, for ex. Egypt where I live. I'd like to explore how culture impacts the way socieities relate, interact and are affected by both traditional and new/ social media. Wonder why there aren't any Free Hugs in the Middle East?

thank you agriculture

I think datafork didn't really get the idea of the presentation.

Great work! you are an anthropologist of the future!
