Another reason to shut down this blog

From an essay by Dubravka Ugresic:

The globalistic delirium of communication, which in itself implies dialogue, is realized in practice as monologue. In short, everyone rushes to broadcast his or her message to the world and self-promotion has become the social convention. An “artistic” or intellectual act is most often just a form of self-promotion. In the global market we are all sellers, even when it does not seem that way. Everyone automatically holds out his business card, everyone strives to be heard even when he has nothing to say.

Taken out of context, I know, but it's hard to argue.
