As a Dutch philosopher I'm a visitor of the Dutch newsgroup nl.filosofie. But from the beginning I'm concerned about the quality of the communication. The quality is bad, it isn't more than a chatroom, people meeting just for the sake of meeting.

The New York Times News Service posted this story, which I can't seem to get out of my head for various reasons. There seem to be inconsistencies throughout the article as to what actually defines kidultism, but there are also some assumptions that bother me more deeply. While I have no particular interest in the Care Bears, Hello Kitty, or singing Itsy Bitsy Spider, I certainly do have some interests which might be considered more appropriate for a "younger demographic." Am I a kidult? Or is the very notion of kidultism, which is evidently considered "bad" - a way of pushing adults into doing more of things corporate society deems positive - like taking out mortgages and working all the time?

Happy Late August! The Boston Globe has this story about how Americans, who on average get/take comparatively little vacation as it is, are now moving more and more toward "working vacations." The longterm trend toward decreasing vacation in the US is old news. But one bit of the story, which I suspect might not be US-specific, caught my eye in particular...
