Recently over dinner, a friend of mine spoke of the 90s as an era of political correctness, arguing that the 21st century would consequently unfold into a period of differentiation. She listed a mainstream interest in cultural psychological disorders/ phenomenona as evidence of the emerging differentiation.
Harper's ran a rather funny article on Nigerian dismemberment experiences:

The same cultural shift calls for a more individualized and isolated scientific method. This is the September 07 NYT articles, in which Gary Taubes criticizes cohort and associative logic of observational studies:

In fact it’s the same cultural current that feeds blogs! Look at that…
