- serf 12y agoeven if it did , MIT would likely still be working on the morality-debt incurred during their involvements with various wars. (along with every other famous tech school) http://web.mit.edu/physics/about/history/1940-1945.html http://web.mit.edu/physics/about/history/1940-1945.html
- sitkack 12y agoI think this actually played into Swartz case. That possibly MIT didn't want waken a moral/ethical discussion around technology which is exactly what Aaron was trying to do. His message wasn't dangerous, but the conclusion of it means that the the army of engineers who work on MIT's weapons programs could disrupt a huge cash cow.
