Anyway, he's giving a great talk

Dr. Weinberger, in his reboot keynote: When you have authority figures who don't know they have authority anymore, that's farce. Or something like that. I missed the exact quote. Will pick it up later. Same with the rest of these.

Objectivity is the attempt to see the world the way it looks when no one is looking at it.

The long tail is credibly twisty.

'Content' makes us think that knowledge is a 'what'.

Knowledge is literally a matter of conversation. It's disagreement with people who stretch you. Knowledge is the continuing conversation, not the result of it.

We use Google when we don't want the best possible information.

Conversation is iteration of differences on shared ground.

Conversation is the solution to Arisotle's hierarchy of Whatness.

We are re-meaning the world. And we're just at the beginning.

Hugh, in the Q&A: There's great money in making gates.
