In this videocast I talk about the social boundary between what's formal and what's informal. The media example I refer to is HBO's new series In Treatment.
The questions I ask are:
1) Why are boundaries so very important?
2) What feeds informality in our day and age and how can it be managed?
3) What happens to privacy in modernity with regards to technology and the web?
4) How can one reconcile one's desire to engage the world with one's desire for privacy?

New Videocast: Why Do We Like What We Like?

What do narcissism and taste have in common?
Consider this video episode.
In this piece I investigate the saying De gustibus non est disputandum, i.e., there is no accounting for taste.
Just why do we like what we like?
To answer this question, I opted to speak my ideas to the camera. Enjoy the videocast and I look forward to your reactions/comments.
