But as I travel’d hither through the land,
I find the people strangely fantasied,
Possess’d with rumors, full of idle dreams,
Not knowing what they fear, but full of fear.

The way I’d put it is…a not insignificant portion of the internet—and the world, I guess—defines themselves not by the things they do and love, but their opposition to others. When you take that away, they’re bereft of purpose.
What prompts someone to create an account like that? Don’t they have a life to live or something?

1/ This story about the folly of predicting jury timing was recounted to me by the District Court judge for whom I clerked, Judge Herbert N. Maletz. I can't vouch for its authenticity, but I can vouch that this is exactly the way I remember him telling it to me in 1995.
