Asymmetrical Information

Any clue as to your approach for the B&N talk?

now what do you think about ths

Renewed Activity Seen at Suspected North Korea Test Sites, U.S. Intelligence Says

So George Will is going to stop appearing on TV shows and giving away his thoughts for free? Ok by me, why is this worth discussing on the wireless?

Most importantly when are your nude photos coming out?

Oh, okay, I get it. Like I really have nothing better to do this friday than go and listen to you debate the "Against the War on Terror" people (I mean, I don't, but still, low blow).

When they do, will you go on Oprah, or O'Reilly to discuss them? How about a show with both interviewers at the same time? I might actually watch that...

I don't know why you're devoting an entire radio program to the end of "Free Willie". It wasn't that good a movie.

which B&N?

indeed, which one? There be bagillions.

which B&N?

That information might be found by clicking on the link in JG's post...

So, who's buying the first round afterwards?

Hey, leave Bill Clinton out of this!

I'll be at B&N tonight. I actually found this blog from ATWOT.

Jane,

Interesting panel, and enlightening because it showed that there's no point in discussing "what is the greatest threat to liberty today" and "what is the best way to defend liberty in these times" when we all have irreconcilable opinions of what liberty is.

Excellent radio. I like Radio Opensource but ai gawd the program was getting thick until they brought you on.

You were great on Radio Open Source. I was glad you dug your heels in against their overzealous rhetoric against contemporary marketing. You had great examples (e.g. food stands in so many third world countries, the carpet salesman), and it was refreshing realism. Those Open Source guys were trying to market the extremes...

Yes, fantastic job on Open Source. I've listened to ,and admired, Jim Leff before, and even aspire to emulate some of his ideals. But do you think he has a clue just how ridiculous he sounds blathering about the lack of humanity in a Quarter Pounder? I didn't know I was supposed to look for humanity in my burger. I thought I was looking for beef.

A question that I would genuinely like to Clay Shirky: "Can you give me an operational definition of free will, according to your sights, this doesn't boil down to 'People should be just like me'?"

Imitating Scott Wood, I wanted to ask Clay Shirkey about where we draw the limits on the "non-existence of free will". So if we can say that some people, when encountering fat in their food, get "mesmerized", how do we know that some people don't get equally mezmerized by the presense of money? Why should we remove any responsibility from the eaters, and apply it all to the marketers?

In other words, how can we apply the impact of lawsuits to large companies if they're also just responding to their non-free desire to accumulate money? If we're really saying that there's no free will, then how can we say that anyone is responsible for anything?
