Joi Ito @ MIT :)

Joi Ito @ MIT http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joi_Ito http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/26/science/26lab.html?_r=1 http://gigaom.com/2011/04/27/how-joi-ito-can-help-mit-media-lab-win-back-th… "The announcement<http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/ito-media-lab-director.html> that entrepreneur and investor Joi Ito will be taking over as the head of MIT’s venerable Media Lab was notable for several reasons. He’s a notable political activist; he’s Japanese; and, as John Markoff pointed out in the *New York Times* <http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/26/science/26lab.html?_r=1> , he didn’t even graduate college — let alone come from the world of academic tenure."

"Regulatory capture"
by Dante-Gabryell Monson 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulatory_capture * * *<< Businesses have an incentive to control anything that has power over them, including institutions from the media to academia to popular culture, and thus will try to capture them as well. They call this phenomenon "deep capture." >>* * * *----------* * * *http://thesituationist.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/deep-capture-part-iv/* *"The most basic prediction of the “deep capture” hypothesis is that there will be a competition over the situation (including the way we think) to influence the behavior of individuals and institutions and that those individuals, groups, entities, or institutions that are most powerful will win that competition."* * * *"**This Part examines the relative power (measured as the ability to influence situation) of large commercial interests today, much like the power of the Catholic Church in Galileo’s day."* * * *-----* * * *Some other * *slides + audio presentation :* * * *http://www.deepcapturethemovie.com/*
