Lawrence Lessig’s lecture on corruption has been sitting in my bookmarks for about 2 months. I never set aside the 1 hour and 5 minutes of time to watch it. When cleaning up my bookmarks on Friday, I decided to watch it in chunks and not put it off any longer. About 10 minutes in, I realized the importance is less on the visual and more on the discussion, and while the video compliments the lecture very well, I could have just listened to the whole thing and gotten just as much out of it.
Thoughtful and absent of the witch-hunting and negativity that I’ve grown used to, absent of the soap-box and angry man tone I place in too many of my blog posts; I’ve learned a lot from this video.
