- kmfrk 14y agoMorozov is generally a person you'll want to follow. He's a great modern intellectual. His TED take-down is pure gold, too: http://www.newrepublic.com/article/books-and-arts/magazine/105703/the-naked-and-the-ted-khanna http://www.newrepublic.com/article/books-and-arts/magazine/1.... I submitted his book review a while ago, if people want to discuss it at length. I imagine it'll ruffle the feathers of no small amount of people on HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5346781 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5346781. :)
- bitcartel 14y agoEddie Huang describes TED as a 'Scientology summer camp'. He's not quite as eloquent as Morozov but entertaining nonetheless with interesting details about what TED fellows get up to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hwLMBdnbXk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hwLMBdnbXk
- anigbrowl 14y agoExcellent stuff. BTW the New Republic has a beautifully clean reading UI - the site has the same feel of Instapaper or ReadItLater - seems like they decided 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.'
