  • I CAN NOT believe the comments here: you guys (and girls) are going about Rushkoff being "a" jew and not about his arguments.

    wtf... you - mostly americans :P - are out of your mind!

  • Incredible lecturer. I love the way he could break down massive concepts to easily digestible bits. He didn't dilute it to the point of banality, but rather, simplicity.

  • Did he just say little brown people?

  • programming for to prevent 1984

  • For creating a new astrotheological literary hybrid, we need a new tool, a new paradigm of language, understanding and perception of how we live in in this world... this are programming languages, constructed, with lots of constraints, fetters but logical, real way, real communication way of seeking truth...

  • I like the way the man thinks...I'm a Frontline junkie and I enjoy his pieces immensely. And he's Jewish, that is his foundation and so it is a welcome part of his discourse. I am not and so I say, bring it on, I want to hear more!

    Thank you Douglas.

  • The book is cheaper on Amazon than his site...

  • "Almost every do-gooder that I talk to, that discovers the web, wants to create the meta do-good site."

  • This makes me proud to be a linux user. Everybody should switch. It's free, open source, easy to use, surrounded by tons of community support, extremely powerful and one must try very hard to get a virus. I'd recommend Mint for new users. It comes with some proprietary drivers, unlike Ubuntu. Try it, fuck the Microsoft monopoly.

  • @mrscambuster101 I think you're being too judgmental and reactionary toward Rushkoff. He's got his flaws, but he's not deliberately spreading "dis-information" to his own amusement. (Accusing someone of doing so is an often-used method to avoid making a serious response to their claims. You're more likely to be taken seriously if you clean up your grammar and write with less venom.)
