When emotions get involved, it's much harder to talk people off a ledge. Then it's about being right and validating emotion. Thus politics, religion, Cluetrain versus Keen, etc., etc. Footnote: I don't believe solely in logic, I do believe in spirit and momentum. Just remember spirituality is different than religiosity.

It seems to me that the way to get around falling into the trap of ideology, to stay in the liveliness of theory, is to approach everything with an open mind. As soon as we social media thinkers begin to close the door and say, "Not transparent! Doesn't qualify!" is the day we become barriers to what social media can be. I tell people about blogs (which is true of all aspects of social media and should be of PR) that you must plan for fluidity. The rules you set forth today won't apply a year from now, perhaps. Writers, readers, end goals ... they all change based on multiple variables. If social media maintains a fluid state and doesn't become rigid, ideology never creeps in. Now we just have to figure out the best way to sail the sea and not anchor our ship. Fantastic essay, Mr. P.
