Other things I’m thinking about right now

These things are swirling around in my head. In no particular order:

  1. How might we preserve the important aspects of our culture for future societies? Which types of artifacts will convey the most meaningful information: machines which demonstrate our capabilities, or recordings which convey our stories?
  2. From a more modern perspective, is Google’s style of aggressive and sometimes reckless industry advancement and technological innovation actually a good thing for society? For the economy? For capitalism? For Google?
  3. How does celebrity influence the ability to produce meaningful things (e.g., Andy Warhol, Dave Eggers, Lady Gaga)? Is it necessary, to some extent?
