NetworkAcademics

SunirShah on how new / networked media will change academic practice :

• http://www.livejournal.com/users/sunir/39421.html

Sees academics becoming more "future oriented" and against "categorization".

I wonder if this really means "mobilist" and hence NetoCratic?

So see also ConspiracyTheories

This is all on Meatball:NetworkAcademics.

I'm just wondering if the question about PostModernism raised by Sunir (worrying about lack of objective truth) can be opposed to ChristopherAlexander's quest for objective beauty. Read the Alexander speech (on page about him) for questions on objective "good" in architecture and those post-modernists who try to deny it.
