Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Hello Maureen,

Although My ESP powers are not on, I would assume It will not obliterate it. It will make it smaller, energy crisis might make it harder to consider but I think it will remain. Why? If I look somewhat in the past an interesting story comes to my mind. Back in 1993 when I first graduated a friend of mine went to work for an event organizer who was making massive revenue by arranging meet-up events for Golden Boys and stock-exchange brokers who felt they needed to meet face-to-face with people they were already online with all day long.

Without diving to deep into existentialism, there is an element of truth in the statement "We define ourselves by other people's stare" and there is an element of truth in live human interaction that online services do not replicate.
