Yes, I agree, we are still far from achieving the critical mass that is necessary for our larger purposes. While I'm all for discursive density, the question is, whether the blog entries section is the right space for that, or should we shift to using the "books" section of the website. One suggestion is to schedule a time when several contributors agree to commit to reading and commenting on a longish text -- of course, what's required is the longish text to begin with.
