presented at the 2009 Personal Democracy Forum at Jazz at Lincoln Center. About 10 minutes of it is a minor update (rehash) of An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube, but the rest is new. The gathering may have been the highest concentration of amazingly creative and concerned global citizens I have ever been around. Hallway conversations were different than your typical conversations. Instead of lots of people saying, 'You know, somebody should ...' there were lots of people saying, 'So I did this, this, and this, and now Im working on doing this, this, and this and we should collaborate ...' In other words, it was a bunch of people blessed with what I once heard Yochai Benkler and Henry Jenkins call critical optimism. Nobody there was blindly optimistic, thinking technology was going to make everything better. They were all continually trying to figure out where we are, where we might be going, and the possible downsides and dangers of new technologies so we can use the new technologies to serve human purposes. In other words, it was my kind of crowd. Special thanks to Micah Sifry and Andrew Rasiej for organizing the conference.

Here we are in 2009:: Students being tazered at Univ' with other students cheering because the tazered loud mouth dared to say "911 was an inside job and a media job". people being shot to death because the cop made a mistake and pulled a gun and not a tazer. A culture so inured to sleep it refuses to look at what happened on 911. Physics sleeps soundly even at Universities. So, much for the '60's. But don't worry, Everything is OK
1 "Whatever it takes" is a mantra from under-educated middle-management in the US. Whatever it takes was and is too expensive. It involves throwing money/labor at any problem. 2 "Whatever you think" is developing - Neohumanism. .
Mike, whatever you do - DO NOT WATCH your own videos, you might shit in your pants. You are so smart that you might get scared just by listening to yourself.
this is the first comment i have ever posted on YouTube. I guess i have never watched anything worth posting about. that was really interesting, thank you.
I decided to comment before I knew what I was going to say. I paused to reflect upon this action, and determined that I am neither commenting to posit my existence, nor to seek help in defining my own identity. Rather, I'm attempting to answer a question, to respond to a call, to turn a one-way conversation into a two-way conversation. If the same thing could be done with the TV, I'd tell Bill O'Reilly that he's an ass, but to you, I say, "Great presentation!"
