Google, Michelle Obama, Racism and What the Internet is For

http://business.theatlantic.com/2009/11/google_michelle_obama_racism_and_what_the_internet_is_for.php

Key quote:

"I don't like that Google banned the Web site for the seemingly-too-convenient rationale that it could spread a virus. If it really was a malware site, then fine. But this looks an awful lot like censorship, even though the thing it's censoring is thoroughly objectionable. The Internet is unwieldy boundlessness of content, some of which is utterly depraved. But that's to be expected when you're talking about the sum of all knowledge and information in the world. Racist images aren't illegal. And researching examples of racism online isn't only legal, it's can also be useful for journalists, social academics and anybody trying to piece together fragments of the zeitgeist. Google isn't the editor in chief of the internet, it's a curator. It's job is to organize and I hope it doesn't delete or de-index content just because it's offensive -- and especially not because it's offensive to important people."

Makes me wonder what the front pages of America's newspapers looked like on December 7, 1949.

The Messy Future of Memory-Editing Drugs

http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/04/memoryedit.html

The development of a drug that controls a chemical used to form memories sparked heady scientific and philosophical speculation this week.

Granted, the drug has only been tested in rats, but other memory-blunting drugs are being tried in soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder. It might not be long before memories are pharmaceutically targeted, just as moods are now.

Some think this represents an opportunity to eliminate the crippling psychic effects of past trauma. Others see an ill-advised chemical intrusion into an essential human facility that threatens to replace our ability to understand and cope with life's inevitabilities.

Oxford University neuroethicist Anders Sandberg spoke with Wired.com about the future of memory-editing drugs. In some ways, said Sandberg, our memories are already being altered. We just don't realize it.
