Excellent essay on "An Internet way of self-knowledge". A strong manifesto. The widespread campaign to dismiss webloggers as narcissists is a clearcut demonstration of how the self-knowledge taboo is currently being enforced. Capitalism (in the broadest sense) has no use for original, authentic, self-discovering individuals, because they naturally opt out of the conformist consumer culture (). So the profiteers of that culture actively propagandise against self-knowledge, encouraging instead self-distrust and self-hate.
