My question is whether it's possible to drill down to an authentic intention. If intention isn't shaped by marketers, it is shaped by parenting, education, and community. Are the messages sent by community elites any less insidious than the messages on Saturday morning cartoons? One messages you to vote for a tax policy to uphold a way of life and the other messages you to buy a fashion doll to uphold a way of life. Check out the astounding legislation to put an end to "constructed" history in Florida: http://tinyurl.com/nmxqn Imagine the intentions that will come out of that! That’s a very interesting essay!

But I dont think you have to strain to hear it (just tune out the mainstream media noise machine). In terms who will amplify the message, I believe that this will happen as a natural result of the "intention economy" (see http://doc.weblogs.com/2006/03/14). Of course that assumes that the net survives and the phenomenon Doc describes becomes something I prefer to call an "intention ecology", but that's another discussion.
