Similar to the idea that the internet reduces us to mindless clickers, i feel as if most of the content on the internet that requires some reading is usually skimmed through for a faster read to get the basic idea from the text only to go on to the next quick read. This as a whole would lower the comprehension of the text as a whole as the more subtle details are skipped in favor of just getting the big idea.

Reading in ones own head makes it easier to analyze and reflect on the text written in their own head. This is an interesting fact as well as i think that one is always thinking at a hundred percent efficiency, however translating some of these thoughts into spoken word is not always as easy as analyzing this information internally.

I notice that many of the websites that have the most "traffic" tend to push content that has very little substance that is only made to catch ones attention for thirty seconds at a time which i feel reinforces the idea that "the internet reduces us to mindless clickers".

This mindset reminds me of the idea of "Ignorance is bliss", i could say that most people dont pay attention to the changes that a lower representative may do, and if they did they would potentially have more of a say in who their representatives are.

In a democracy, all citizens are encourageed to vote, however brennans view "If i dont vote. your vote counts more" i feel is shared by many today due to the feeling of disillusionment that many felt after recent elections. under Brennans terminology many people today are "hobbits" , however, i would say that it is not because they do not want to learn about politics, instead it is more because of their neglect to participate.

In this sense, who would decide what was fair? Fairness seems as if it would be objective decision made by someone, however the philosophical justification for democracy leaves out the concept of scarcity, and those affected by it. to which some of these procedures can be beneficial or detrimental.
