Everything is Miscellaneous

[gayforlife2020]

Are we smart enough to know how to access/tag the most profound data, in this still-early digital age? Do we trust "taggers?" The static/noise that I find in a typical search for meaningful data still leaves me irritated, and happy to visit the NYPL - where opinions are often informed and not as subject to daily whim. And more, advertisements are not vying for my attention.

Great lecture.

A minor quibble with the abstract: "categoreis" should be "categories".

Slow start, but interesting talk. It would be nice if there was an introtrim() function we could apply to talks in general.
