Internet needs serious, well-written, critical investigations into societal phenomena.

As a noted Internet pundit, I have spent years suggesting that the future would be so bright if everyone worked on my pet project. In particular, I have argued that the Internet needs serious, well-written, critical investigations into societal phenomena. Now Maciej Ceglowski has shown just how right I am. Ceglowski, who in addition to being a brilliant ranter can also paint, program, and act as some sort of unspecified nonprofit functionary. In a brilliant and detailed piece entitled A Rocket to Nowhere Ceglowski takes apart the manned space program with an elegance and completeness not seen since Christian Parenti wrote for The Baffler. How did this feat come about? I sat down with Ceglowski over email to discuss it.

This item was dugg up from deep oblivion ... note it's prestegious permalink.  

This is a thought of long ago that i would like to preserve or migrate to a more appropriate group.  Aaron Swartz committed suicide some years ago … tragically … we miss him … and his thoughts on the web … see aaron.
