Comment on: Photo 'multiverse': l economists argued that every individual is free to the extent he or she can pursue their individual self- interest in the material world. Freedom, in the rational mode, is the freedom to be autonomous and independent and to be an island to one’s self. To be free is to be rational, detached, acquisitive, and utilitarian. The role of government, in turn, is to safeguard private property relations and allow market forces to operate, unfettered by political constraints. The conventional American dream is personal opportunity to succeed in the marketplace. The empathic approach to freedom in the emerging Biosphere Age is based on a different premise. Freedom means being able to optimize the full potential of one’s life, and the fulfilled life is one of companionship, affection, and belonging, made possible by ever deeper and more meaningful personal experiences and relationships with others–across neighbourhoods, continents and the world. One is free, then, to the extent that one has been nurtured and raised in a global society that allows for empathetic opportunities at every level of human discourse. The new dream is the quality of life of humanity.…; Added by Michael Grove at 11:37 on November 6, 2010

Comment on: Blog Post 'Freedom to associate': GCE 'A' Levels in Maths Pure and Maths Applied as well as Physics and ART • and I well remember his explanation of the IDEA of a MEMEX, which would take the form of an electronically computerised version of a rolodex device; and so [IT] was that having considered the idea of joining a BOAC pilot training programme, it transpired that I was invited to be one of the first cadets, straight from Grammar School, to be trained as Ministry of Aviation Air Traffic Controllers • and so [IT] was that I began my training, by way of learning the concept of systems analysis on an IBM 64K Mainframe Computer, that then transmogrified into a familiarisation with Digital Equipment Corporation PD11s and my subsequent IDEA of utilising the AFTN for the purpose of an enhanced radar-handover capability, between Air Traffic Control Centres, during my secondment to Eurocontrol, and subsequent return to the CAA at West Drayton. …; Added by Michael Grove at 10:02 on November 28, 2021

Comment on: Blog Post '[OUR] LIFE TOGETHER AS SOULMATES': re housework; James Fallows’s prescient warning about the consequences of invading Iraq; or Ta-Nehisi Coates’s case for reparations. The Atlantic’s Ideas section, which I oversee, aims to build on this rich legacy. The essays published in Ideas continue to challenge readers’ preconceptions. Yoni Appelbaum Senior Editor, The Atlantic 3 years before the United Nations made its Declaration of Human Rights President Roosevelt's science advisor, Dr. Vannevar Bush - published in the July edition of Atlantic Monthly - his IDEA of a wondrous machine which he called a memex. A machine which would enable you to search through information with incredible speed. You could pinpoint a thought in a book, leap to a related piece, pointing to a newspaper story and go on linking ideas until you built, in essence, a record tracing your own train of thought - one which you could pass along to friends and associates. All of which would be considerably closer to the way the MIND works. …; Added by Michael Grove at 17:17 on March 29, 2022

Comment on: Blog Post 'I HAVE BEEN BEMUSED OF LATE ...': into the market. The development of the so-called Tablet Computer has been constrained by the continuous lack of foresight in respect to an appropriate human interface - according to the stage of development of a combination of the diverse technologies required to underpin such developmental foresight. It was Apple on the final straight - the company which introduced us to the very concept of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) - who left the rest of the competition "pipped at the post." In 2010 Mr Dell supposedly unveiled his company's first tablet - but has everybody forgotten the aborted attempt by Microsoft and its hardware manufacturing partners - including DELL - to launch an exemplary "hand-writing-recognition tablet" that could easily have transmogrified into a robust competitor for Apple's range of iOS devices - had Microsoft got their act together in respect of the development of their own operating systems. …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:20 on February 6, 2013

Comment on: Blog Post 'Vision': eens, and windows, and "hypertext", clickable links in text that could take you from document to document, the basis of the modern web - and Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, who made the source code of his creation publicly available, and never made a penny from it himself - it is very sad to reflect on the state of play of all things that constitute the cloud, in the context of the "modern democratic" concept - OF the people, FOR the People, By the PEOPLE... ... and [BE]ing drawn down the rabbit hole …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:49 on January 15, 2012
