A profile of Sergey Brin: Enlightenment man
- greyman 18y agoI skimmed through the article, but couldn't find anything really new there.
- petercooper 18y agoThe history was interesting, but it seems they threw up a lot of stuff of no substance to pad it out: Sergey Brin, one of the founders of Google, believes knowledge is always a good thing—and that more of it should be shared Like.. for real? :)
- robak 18y agoWhat happened to The Economist recently? First, day say that intelligent men have better sperm then stoopidos. Now, they treat Sergey like an example for super-human. A few more articles and they'll be explaining why euthanasia for poor and stupid is a good thing.
- byrneseyeview 18y agoFirst, day say that intelligent men have better sperm then stoopidos. Is this actually false? I thought that adoption and twin studies were pretty clear on the matter. A few more articles and they'll be explaining why euthanasia for poor and stupid is a good thing. There is actually a pretty huge gap between, e.g. "People inherit traits from their parents, including intelligence," and "All people with trait x must be killed." Maybe if you didn't immediately make that logical leap to a policy conclusion, you'd be more comfortable considering the facts.
- robak 18y agoWell, nazis also never said directly they're killing weak people in camps. I just meant the overall style they represent. It reads like the newest findings of Nazi science or something...
- dimitar 18y agoHow do magazines do business? They have stories suggested and paid by PR firms who are paid by other firms. So this is really an advertisement. Eh, and I actually like Google and the Economist..
