Information Compulsion and Språng

     I encountered a nice bit of information compulsion the other day.
     Information compulsion is a theory by Tom Wolfe.  Wolfe says that "the best weapon journalists have is what I call information compulsion.  People are dying to tell you things that you don't know."   I first learned about information compulsion from my friend TJ who writes a blog over at https://www.lean6life.com.  And then I found this clip:



     Anyway, back to the story.  I ran into someone I knew and told her that I am scheduled to do two programs on språng this fall for the handspinners guild and the weavers guild.  I briefly described what språng is.
     And then, up piped someone who was listening: "Språng is very old!"
     I was proud of her.
     During the språng programs, I plan to keep my own information compulsion down to a minimum.  Not like last time.
