But Fashion, Pleasure, and Image are still the holy trinity of today's young... and even the not-so-young. Fashion doesn't have to be all about clothes. Today, it could also be gadgets. Pleasure... everyone wants instant gratification. Image... virtually everyone is much more vain now... what with overly-manipulated (I refuse to say Photoshopped, lol) images strewn about in cyberspace and vacuous and inane tweets and status messages being bandied about.

Every generation has its retinue of fence-sitters, its turtles, its Don Quixotes, its soapbox-standing impresarios, its philosophers, its sheeps, and its trailblazers. And, as times change, what gets considered coherent also changes, what passes for relevant transforms. For me, what's to be considered dumb isn't about not conforming to what is considered intelligent; what should be considered dumb is the inability to adapt to the rapid developments in our midst, and the inability to accept the changes that engulf us.
