I came across this via Matt’s blog, which is a little odd considering Ben’s blog is also on my list of daily reads (and Ben’s blog has been bloody interesting since he started work at the barbershop), but whatever, check this post out. Very thought provoking. And check out Matt’s own post in which he reflects on Ben’s reflections. This could, and should, I think, turn into a very interesting discussion. Right now I don’t have anything to add, myself, just think I should point you in the direction of those two posts.
