[governance] [bestbits] Nominations for IGF closing and opening speakers

[Suresh Ramasubramanian]

The technique you describe, Milton, is reminescent of that fine old charade called “science studies” - neither scientific nor a study, as the Sokal Hoax so ably demonstrated :)

(I believe the book is also published as “Fashionable Nonsense” in some countries).

>> Ironically, you were the one who started this thread by couching a political argument in technical terms. The current internet was worse, you said, because it was less P2P and more concentrated. You said that apps were more closed technically, etc. So after making half-baked claims about how the technical system is evolving you shouldn’t be complaining when people expect you to know your tech.
