Comments on: Those who know don’t tell http://mediacology.com/2009/05/14/those-who-know-dont-tell/ putting the 'eco' into media ecology and open education (and other tangential meditations) Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:39:42 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Nils http://mediacology.com/2009/05/14/those-who-know-dont-tell/comment-page-1/#comment-4841 Nils Wed, 02 Dec 2009 00:27:45 +0000 http://mediacology.com/?p=1653#comment-4841 Antonio, This was very interesting to read (I stumbled across it looking for a link to the cult of Onng Yongg (sp?) that had the same motto as Barrington). I lived at Oxford Hall for a while and even we thought Barrington was too wild (heroin dealing for one thing was rampant). If you can find a short story collection by Avram Davidson containing his wonderful "The Sources of the Nile", you will read one acutely aware author's version of how cool becomes commoditized (sp). The protagonist stumbles across a family whose every whim turns into a fad, falls in love with the young woman of the family, only to have her "stolen away" by a crass Madison Avenue type. Written about 1960 or earlier. Antonio,
