For lack of knowledge, don’t blame Google. Blame the right, and the left | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2008/06/18/for-lack-of-knowledge-dont-blame-google-blame-the-right-and-the-left

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. For lack of knowledge, don’t blame Google. Blame the right, and the left. 18 June, 2008 in Culture. My earlier post on the internet and knowledge focused primarily on the interface between technology and human understanding. In this post, I would like to address the larger question, that is, what to do about America’s “knowledge deficit.”. Argues precisely this, tracing the origins of anti-intellectualism throughout history. This popul...

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. 18 May, 2008 in Law. There has been a lot of talk in the news and in the blogosphere on the Megan Meier case in the last couple of days since the indictment [available here http:/ i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/05/15/my.space.drew.indictment.pdf.

Farenheit Google? | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2008/06/11/farenheit-google

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. 11 June, 2008 in Culture. Is Google making us stupid? That’s the question Nicholas Carr poses to his readers. In the Atlantic Monthly. Carr begins by noticing a frightening tendency among himself and his colleagues– the inability to digest the written word in substantial volumes. The internet makes it easier for readers to move seamlessly through different sources, skimming the information they want and discarding the rest. There are perha...

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. What could happen, then what should – Cyberbullying and Meier revisited. 19 May, 2008 in Law. Suspending judgment momentarily on what the law and scope. Be in regard to unauthorized access to data, I would like the examine what the law. Be in the Meier case. 1030 could be used to cover the case. Whether it is wise to do so – again – let me suspend for a moment. On Game Theory and The Dark …. On What could happen, then what s….

Can cultural relativism take a stand on Internet censorship? | A r e o p a g i t i c a

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. Can cultural relativism take a stand on Internet censorship? 30 January, 2008 in Culture. Philosophy & Religion. After an interesting discussion in my Cyberspace and the Law class this morning, I would like to throw out another question with which cultural relativism must grapple: what should we do about Internet censorship? For instance, would a cultural relativist support a group like the OpenNet Initiative. 8212; Daniel Corbett. This wo...

What Dawkins does right | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2006/11/20/what-dawkins-does-right

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. What Dawkins does right. 20 November, 2006 in Culture. Philosophy & Religion. To let God do so is to give him a pass. We trust knowledge gained by science because the process by which it’s obtained is demonstrable, transparent and simple…even the most complex physical or chemical laws are really just compilations of smaller and smaller laws, all of which are testable. Theology ought to be put through the same. So what do you think? This wo...

The “War on (selling products with names that may evoke) Drugs” | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/the-war-on-selling-products-with-names-that-may-evoke-drugs

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. The “War on (selling products with names that may evoke) Drugs”. 22 July, 2008 in Culture. You can name a perfume “Opium” and an energy drink “Cocaine,” and no one will stop you, Greg Beato writes. It should go without saying that it’s perfectly legal (and protected under the First Amendment) to make drug references. So why does one government agency (the FDA) let such references go while the TTB clamps down on them? Now I’m all for ...

Does the U.S. need cyberbullying legislation? | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2008/05/27/does-the-us-need-cyberbullying-legislation

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. Does the U.S. need cyberbullying legislation? 27 May, 2008 in Culture. In general, I agree with you. There is no question that this case involves despicable conduct that should not go unpunished. It is an open question, however, as to how the law should punish this kind of conduct. I believe that the government in this case is wrong in looking to 18 U.S.C. 1030. If 1030 does not help the prosecution here, then where should it look? Finally...

Game Theory and The Dark Knight | A r e o p a g i t i c a

https://corbettandhubbard.wordpress.com/2008/08/02/game-theory-and-the-dark-knight

He who destroys a good book, kills reason itself… — Milton, 1644. Game Theory and The Dark Knight. 2 August, 2008 in Culture. Is a good film. What made it a great film for me – a man who has just spent a year writing a thesis on game theory – is the amount of game theory contained within it. The most obvious is the ferry situation. There has been some extremely good discussion on the blogosphere in regard to the game theory in the movie: here. Or a game of chicken. Here is my analysis for the situation:.
