With the ever growing array of devices, facilities and services at our fingertips- too many people are asking too much of too little.
Why the f*ck would i want to donate money to a shmuck ripping people off to make a potato salad?
These connected systems online using ‘crowdfunding’ to validate their a) exhibitionist ego and b) stupidity. (or are we for not thinking of it first?)
Likened to the complexities of small outbreaks of disease becoming epidemics, crowdfunding for just about anything under the sun (see; Potato Salad) have become an integral part of a continuously evolving and self constituting system. and just about everyone is puzzled, awed, outraged or just confused by it. (see; Duncan. J. Watts)
Watts asks; ‘How does individual behaviour aggregate to collective behaviour? How do these somewhat self-obsessed, greedy and idealistic norms and conventions evolve and sustain themselves in human society?
and why are we donating money to a potato salad?
