Front Page mag - A Project of the David Horowitz Freedom Center

Daniel Greenfield Ping List Notification of new articles.

I am posting Greenfield's articles from FrontPage and the Sultan Knish blog. FReepmail or drop me a comment to get on or off the Greenfield ping list.

I recommend an occasional look at the Sultan Knish blog. It is a rich source of materials, links and more from one of the preeminent writers of our age.

FrontPage is a basic resource for conservative thought.

Big Data and Big Brother both make money and gain power when they can predict what you will do and nudge you to do it. Big Brother offers Big Data techniques for shaping user behavior through peer pressure while Big Data offers Big Brother new ways to track and manipulate human attitudes.

I can see Big Data offering up better tracking and manipulation to Big Brother. But Big Brother has a lot more to offer to Big Data: power and money. Big Brother is going to decide which Big Data firm gets the Big Brother contract. That's one of the reasons that Bezos bought the Post.

I've been saying since about 2000, that the internet was the greatest weapon against totalitarianism since the invention of the gun.

We still got guns, but we're steadily losing the internet.

Greenfield doesn't really offer a solution, but what he does offer is benign government interference. Rarely does government interference produce more freedom, though it's not impossible.

A market based solution would be much better, but if marketplace of ideas that allowed unfettered conservative thought arose, the balkanization of our politics would likely grow worse.

I also offer no real solution.
