Regardless what technology is I like analog too.

I think any new technology that helps connect and create social cohesion is great. But at the end of the day you and I are analog creatures. We have to take 'oohs and aahs' and convert them to 0s and 1s and then convert them back to 'oohs and aahs.' Narratives that work in social networks are the exchange of stories that are told well.

Kids are a great analogy. You want your kids to grow up and you don't want your kids to grow up. You want your kids to become independent of you but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: That they won't need you. It's like the real tragedy of parenting.

That is why the analogy of stealing does not work. With a thief we want to know how much money he stole and from whom. With the artist it is not how much he took and from whom but what he did with it.

Yes it is a rehearsed show yes it was analogy of going to see a play at the theatre where everything has to be in place and whole things everything being works all works together to get the best effect you know it's more like an actor learning a part.

The assumption is that the right kind of society is an organic being not merely analogous to an organic being but actually a living structure with appetites and digestions instincts and passions intelligence and reason.

You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple but nourishing to the imagination.

I use a lot of film images analogies and imagination.

Analogies it is true decide nothing but they can make one feel more at home.
