December 2019 . . . .
“Rankings”
It’s that time of year again, where everything needs to be put into perspective. When we give awards for things we like. That mysterious grading of things we don’t. We are a culture of observation as much as participation. We look, comment and criticize. We review. Unfortunately, in my opinion (yes, I see the hypocrisy in this sentence), one of those views that we are most satisfied with is rank. The quantification of stuff. Side-by-side comparison. Polls. Standings. Who’s number one? Which Bachelor doesn’t make the grade, won’t receive a rose, a kiss, a date, or any other metaphorical prize? Who’s the GOAT? — which is an ironic acronym if ever there was one. |
