Hunter S. Thompson described the television news industry as a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs. That’s not a bad summary of how many people feel about dating apps, men and women alike. Countless users of Tinder know too well the rush of matching with someone and exchanging flirtatious messages, only for the other person to break off contact and disappear.
Given that the purpose of apps is to expose users to many potential partners, it is unclear how they might be designed to overcome the rejection-mindset to which being spoiled for choice gives rise. But subsequent apps made their offerings even more limited in other ways. On Bumble, once two parties message one another, there is no limit to how long they can keep doing so.
The difference between browsing and searching recalls the difference between a liberal education and learning a skill. The effect of a liberal education is hard to predict, as it can transform everything from our artistic tastes to our political values. When we learn new skills, on the other hand, we usually do so in order to achieve a goal we already have in mind.
Now the pandemic seems to have given rise to a new perspective on life online, one that is certainly more measured than that of the early optimists, but also less pessimistic than that of critics such as Dreyfus, who failed to appreciate the web’s potential to improve.
Guriel’s defence of browsing similarly emphasizes the importance of in-the-flesh presence. Much of the browsing that Guriel recalls takes place in the World’s Biggest Bookstore, Pages and other vanished Toronto literary establishments, and his vivid descriptions often draw attention to his spatial relationship to physical books. He often describes himself “circling” or returning to a book on display, in order to better admire its cover, notice its creases or feel its heft in his hand.

Opinion | Justin Trudeau should not play a role in Danielle Smith’s Alberta re-election dramaOpinion: Back in the day, when Quebec separatism was still a thing, the legendary comedian Yvon Deschamps used to get a big laugh by joking that what Quebecers really wanted was “an independent Quebec in a strong and united Canada.” So Smith just stole that line. Not surprised. The Parti Québécois gave the people of Quebec a vote on independence. Are the people of Alberta going to let the UCP take away their vote?
