Reacting to Aaron Swartz’s suicide — from insidehighered.com by Scott Jaschik
From DSC:
If you haven’t watched Aaron’s keynote address here re: SOPA , I urge you to take some time this week to do so. It is a very moving but disturbing message. Everyday, I use the technologies that this young man helped create. His suicide, life, perspectives, and the moving/disturbing message in his keynote address re: stopping SOPA made me get down on my knees again in prayer for our nation. The world lost a brilliant thinker/activist.
Besides Audrey Watter’s moving posting re: Aaron, also see the thoughts/articles that the Inside Higher Ed article mentions:
- From Cory Doctorow
- From Lawrence Lessig and more from Lessig
- From James Fallows
- At Crooked Timber
- At The Laboratorium
