What is this all about?

Hey I’m Clinton, aka The Concerned Netizen. I’ve written and presented a lot over the past few years—with great passion—on issues related to computer history, internet history, post modernism, and the media ecology of Marshall McLuhan.

The reason for my passion for these things was, however, often left unsaid. However, I’m sure that lots of people had guessed.

I actually had a very severe psychotic break in the summer of 2017.

Now that nearly seven years has passed, and I’m back in the same mundane, non-magical, black-and-white Kansas reality as everyone else again, I’d like to talk about it.
