A peek outside the echo chamber
Oct. 3rd, 2011 09:51 pmLast night it was just Fitz, Wulfgar, and I at fencing practice so we had plenty of time to talk while we caught our breath between bouts. We talked about the economy, politics, SCA odds and ends, the 60's, etc. and had a very pleasant time. I spend so much of my time with people who see the world basically the way I do that its easy to forget that so many people seem to live in a different reality than i do.
This evening on NPR Teri Gross was interviewing a nice old religious leader (C. Peter Wagner) who believes that a number of individuals currently holding positions in our government are afflicted by demons (that would explain a lot), that "territorial spirits" afflict some cities, and that it would be wise for presidential candidates to get protection from witchcraft (but do it privately to avoid bad publicity). Then there was a magazine article which mentioned that "thousands of Israeli employees were told to stay home from the World Trade center on 9/11." Then there was a song on the radio about the glory of drinking all night and sleeping all day (despite blackouts, etc.).
When I peek outside the echo chamber it's scary
