The Danger of Blogging

As I write this blog, and read your blog, we grow increasingly at risk of becoming ingrown in our development and discovery. After I read your blog, I write my blog. And then as you read my blog, you write your own blog. Where do our insights and ideas find opportunities and outlets to become fresh and new? With the advent of blogging, its popularity will actual serve to stifle it. As we become more and more dependent on each other's words, our own writings will gradually come to look more and more like each other's. We will inadvertently slip into blogging on our own blogs as we blog on one another's blogs. We will eventually become commentators of commentators because our blogs will simply become the ruminations of our own blogs, as we rely solely on each other's blogs for insight and inspiration. As we turn more and more to blogging, and reading blogs, more will our blogging simply come to mirror the very blogging we are trying to blog. Finally, all of blogdom will look the same. Like trying to look into the mirror of a barber's two-walled mirror barbershop, we end up looking into the reflection of our own reflection. Like trying to find your way out of the woods when you're lost, you keep ending up where you started - going around and around in circles. Around and around and around and around and around...nothing new, nothing fresh, delusions and illusions of something original without anything to say otherwise. Even this very post is simply a reflection of itself: blogging. Blogging about blogging. As its nature dictates, this post models what is being said. It epitomizes itself. Brilliant!
