The margins are always where the interesting stuff happens. The
interesting people gather there. The interesting ideas are shared. The
new fashions. Think of Haight-Ashbury, Carnaby Street, Notting Hill,
Bloomsbury, Mercer New York....
Sure, Capitalism always devours it, but by then the party has moved on
somewhere new.
Marginals know how to find each other. By the books we read. By the
fact that we're the only ones not staring at phones in
public. Spotting another vaguely attractive person with a dumb phone
or interesting book is good enough reason to strike up a conversation.
Oh, and in case you we're feeling all "mainstream"... Hacker News?
WaaaaaaaaaaaaY out marginal! We're practically on another planet here
;)
