I hate Wikipedia for the same reason I love it; because it is a despotic time waster.

I somehow navigated myself to this: Free to Choose, from this blog. I had to go back through my history to figure out how I arrived there. Once there, I spent several hours watching the Free Market PBS programs produced by the economist Milton Friedman.

Spore–> Spore Video Game–> Panspermia–> Circumstantial Evidence–> Mens Rea–> Tort–> Lawrence Lessig–> The Future of Ideas–> Legal Affairs.com–> Lessig.org–> Just because I’m not working doesn’t mean you can’t–> Lessig Wiki–> and finally Free to Choose

I read the first half of the book “The Future of Ideas” a few years back when working at eBay. I remember it painting a bleak and frightening future. I think the second half of the book probably included Lessig’s optimistic views of how to curb the tide of corporate power. I am usually reading so many books at a time that with my short attention span I only finish about half the books I start.
