fashion is toggle more than advance
fashion, in most times, is present as a toggle of belief, rather than generalization/advance of them.
For one decade, people would fancy ancient values and relics; and the next they’d hate them as if they have poisoned their brain and culture; and the next decade they were loving it again. An advance in this sense would be a more indifferent, critical, skeptical view on the ancient values, treating them as ordinary object with perhaps an older origin, more complex impacts and richer literature(I’m standing on a scholar’s perspective, so I interpret the advance of hmuanity as easier access to more knowledge and wisdom, people getting wise and konw more, rather than believing in the “right thing” and knowing the “right facts”)
death
The moment I read about Aaron Swartz’s story, I knew that that is probably the way I’ll die. Of social injustice, and probably martyrish(which means horribly) as well, lacking the basic ability to lie or bend. and it is just too plain to see that it is almost a certainty I’ll get myself invloved in some movement(I’m already participating in the FOSS and Free Culture movements), even though I don’t belive in most.
