Clamor

The extent to which this causes a clamor, that's the extent to which this matters to me.

And you. The extent to which this causes a clamor within you, that's the extent to which this matters to you.

This causes a clamor. And all that matters is the extent to which. Seriously.

Clamor, it has a spectrum along which it exists. And this, this thing that causes a clamor, it sits somewhere along that spectrum. It could be on this side or that side. It could be a Greater Clamor or a Lesser Clamor, all depending on how it feels to you, and the position from which you are observing this. And me.

I'm observing this, too.

We can triangulate—you, me, and the place where this sits on the clamor spectrum.

And the, oh how this will really, truly matter. Oh how this will finally have some sort number or some sort of letter or some sort of charted way (maybe a line or a bar on a graph) of being quantified in terms of how much it matters.

Really.

Truly.

Before we blog, though, we must triangulate. And understand clamor.
