be very honest about what's abstract, silent about what's concrete. I'm sure many people here can sympathize with the desire to be taken seriously on this abstract level, that of speech and idea, with little or no regard for the concrete material — the flesh — out of which these things happen to arise.
THAT is brilliantly stated.
I like the metaphor of the spider. You don't see the leg coming to kick you until it's almost too late, and all you did was share a different perspective with no malice intended. The spider definitely hovers above FB and Twitter and casual office conversations.
Opaquely transparent indeed. A glimpse of another mind, distilled to show the content, respecting the privacy of the person. Just what the Internet was meant for ;-)
