OSCON 09: Karl Schroeder, "The Rewilding: A Metaphor"

That's how you pronounce "Schroeder?" (0:15) I shat bricks.

Karl should watch the pilot to Caprica, the new TV show from the Battle Star Galactica folks. Caprica makes the point that we as individuals leave a fingerprint by participating in the world of social media, institutions, and organizations.

Good up until 12:46. There very little consensus on when to use the carrot and when to use the stick in democratic societies. That's why we have the right-left scale of political parties.

Also, mentioning "the invisible hand of the market" as something "that work[s]" when we're in the deepest economic crisis in modern history just laughable.

are you brainwashed or something?

@zzzzoltan Politically-made oligopolies, and the troubles they bring, are always blamed on the market. Why might that be?
