Solipcism

“I am currently writing a book, which I hope will be read by thousands of people, and therefore I must isolate myself from all these people. I have been careful to point out that – while I am writing this book – I am not at home, so that no one, not even the people who probably will read the book, can disturb me in my solitude”.

/Walter Ong
(Talking about how the written language re-defines human consciousness)

Gee, spot on from Padre! Replace the act of writing with the act of music making and suddenly the stereotypical unsociable laptop artist looks quite silly. Too bad I belong to that group.
