"Votes, Bits & Bytes" conference schedule, and Punditry != Democracy
The conference schedule was just posted for the Harvard Votes, Bits & Bytes conference. Apparently they didn't care for my suggestions, as I don't see much of a skeptical presence.
My summary thought:
How many problems are there in this world where the solution is: more punditry?
Now, I don't believe talking itself is bad. But talking *only* about how great it is to talk, tends to be very bad.
On a personal note: It's a free conference, local to me, and I could physically attend. But I decided to pass. That decision was a manifestation of my further activism turning-point, from the attacks on me in the Mike Godwin and Greplaw case. I still haven't written up my final take on it all, but I was serious about it having an effect. I suppose the Berkman Center wouldn't outright deny me registration. But there's just no point any more.
