The Machine is (Changing) Us: YouTube and the Politics of Authenticity
presented аt thе 2009 Personal Democracy Forum аt Jazz аt Lincoln Center. Abουt 10 summary οf іt іѕ a minor update (rehash) οf An Anthropological Introduction tο youtube, bυt thе rest іѕ nеw. Thе gathering mау hаνе bееn thе highest concentration οf amazingly creative аnd concerned global citizens I hаνе еνеr bееn around. Hallway conversations wеrе different thаn уουr predictable conversations. Instead οf lots οf people saying, ‘Yου know, somebody ѕhουld …’ thеrе wеrе lots οf people saying, ‘Sο I dіd thіѕ, thіѕ, аnd thіѕ, аnd now Im working οn doing thіѕ, thіѕ, аnd thіѕ аnd wе ѕhουld collaborate …’ In οthеr terms, іt wаѕ a bunch οf people blessed wіth whаt I once heard Yochai Benkler аnd Henry Jenkins call critical optimism. Nobody thеrе wаѕ blindly optimistic, thinking technology wаѕ going tο mаkе everything better. Thеу wеrе аll continually trying tο figure out whеrе wе аrе, whеrе wе mіght bе going, аnd thе possible downsides аnd dangers οf nеw technologies ѕο wе саn υѕе thе nеw technologies tο serve human purposes. In οthеr terms, іt wаѕ mу kind οf crowd. Special thanks tο Micah Sifry аnd Andrew Rasiej fοr organizing thе conference.
umm… i’m not sure if anyone else is having this problem but, when ever i play the video it keeps stopping at 2:25 no matter how much of it has been loaded. even when it’s completely loaded it stops. i wonder if this is more of youtube or viacom trying to sensor the masses.^o^;

“Of course, this is an awesome video and what’s really appealing is that only one nutter below wrote a comment about the NWO? globalist agenda.”
i don’t reckon that’s honest for you to say. that person has their reasons and you just brush it aside like it doesn’t matter.
that person has his reasons for posting, just like you do.
imo, NWO is real and not that far fetched of an thought. look at the wars. look at how we are all divided with just two political parties.
What is all the babbling noise running underneath the audio on this tape? Anyone else hear it? I had to plug my headphones in to get any volume, even after adjusting it the regular way.
Plug your headphones into the speakers, then you’ll be able to adjust the sound. I had the same problem.
@CulturePeaceForever the lower educational K-12 system in the US doesn’t focus on critical thinking nor does college (undergrad) as much as we wish it did. The internet allows us to explore and research anything that we may “brood over”. We process this new knowledge, evaluate the information, and are able to communicate these new formed opinions to the world. I’d say that’s a excellent step towards improving natural thinking skills vs traditional “school studies” (memorizing facts)
@chri7 that this brings tears to our eyes only shows how much we long for this, connection, one world, caring, whatever it takes.
Of course, this is an awesome video and what’s really appealing is that only one nutter below wrote a comment about the NWO globalist agenda.
This has to be a first for any YouTube video.
Extremely thought provoking, but extremely sad.
Too much technology both prevents young people from concentrating on their school studies,&”Pondering”skills because answers are easily “googled.”The educational system needs to help students “reckon”more often,more than merely memorizing thousands of facts.Technology is very excellent for entertainment,but not very excellent for the advancement of improving natural thinking skills.
Money-making advertisements on television,One money-making longer,but much less often would be a huge excellent change! “people”don’t change much along the generations,but persons can come to delight in anominity much! (smiles)
@chri7
Yeah. same.
Shame that world leaders cannot recognise the same.
sound not working
You altered my live! Spelling WTF!
No offense, but I found this dull.
Maybe it’s because I’ve read too many articles about this topic. The video just didn’t bring me any new thoughts.
Dunno why, I cried to in the one world section *shamed*
That made me weep.
I’m glad to see all is not lost, you know what i mean.
it may well look hopeless but it isn’t. it depends on the education of society to change what we perceive as aptly and incorrect. control and violence is primal but so is the quest for concord and cool.
we installed laws and policies that have brought concord considering there is more than over five billion people in the world.
we need every society to movement in understanding ourselves in order to live, flourish, and movement as a world.
reckon outside the box.
@petrosros yes, of course, he films it because it satisfies is voyeurism.(as Behaviorist he had no unconscious , of course)…. Sleep heals.
yes , the animal filmed it , I can barely talk about it without feeling sick, I was just looking into the mountain meadows mass, very appealing will stay on it up the visit to your channel was worth it.
Please excuse my foul language its past my bed time , and I get like a grumpy ancient Bear.
@petrosros Uh-oh, squirrel looking for a nut…. As a kid, Skinner had a fence (barrier) and he would lob his cannon shots over the barrier and get a response. This is ok for him. He loved load explosions. But he place his daughter in a plastic box. deprived her of the world and provided the stimulus. He is a control freak maniac. I left comments on BFS videos and got some response……
@IExposeMormonism Skinner tortured his own children and would have keenly helped Mengerley carry out his death camp experiments,
are you holding this creature up as a hero.
and its Dickblatts my word I made it ten mins ago.
I am now going to invade your channel.
@petrosros Yes, BF Skinner proved a negative stimulas from an authoritative maniac will inhibit dickbatism
@MsDude81 or they might find him a racist cunt
@IExposeMormonism tazing students is a excellent thing most will grow up to be totall Dickblatts.
Basically a Globalist Agenda, we are part of New World Order.
All this Luv bullshit, from a collection of narcissistic small selfish cunts that have probably never done a hard days work in their shallow lives.
They only express persons thoughts when they get what they want. The most of these animals would walk by a starving white guy on their own streets, with scorn and contempt in their hearts.
Fuck UTube and its self effacing bullshit Propogandists cocksuckers.
Yes I swore can you imagine.
