Yet McSwite’s epochal ‘“world” of revitalized social networks, a Web 2.0/
Facebook world where judgements are based on inventories of “pure information
pooling” and without any reflective or considered recourse to moral
or empirical truths may be a “nightmare” for those less convinced about the
evolutionary worth of the technologically enabled search for personal validation
in the hyper individualized social networks envisioned by McSwite (see
Thorne & Kouzmin, 2008).
