					<description><![CDATA[I also am interested in the ultimate question you ask. How could a business/academic field, or a corporation, have a conscience?  A field is a convenient collection, not a body, and a corporation is a tool, mere technology.

I see huge implications for humanity that are hard to see if you are not in the field and educated about ethics. Two examples: Chasing eyeballs created the 24/7 partisan news cycle, which I think is one factor in dehumanizing us. Machine Learning is poorly-understood (basically magic) that is affecting you-name-it (google search results, facebook feeds, product promotion, etc.) in dehumanizing ways. Algorithms are great at maximizing something, but what is that &#039;something?&#039;  It seems the optimized variables are never chosen based on consideration of ethics, even remotely.  The closest it comes is regulatory consideration, which isn&#039;t even a poor substitute.

The state of affairs is an important topic of discussion in our family of teens and pre-teens. We recommended to our son (who wants to be a tech entrepreneur) that it would be better to attend a good liberal arts college rather than get a CS degree. He didn&#039;t need a lot of convincing. He is a smart kid, getting wiser by studying classical ethics, philosophy, literature, history.

Keep writing and keep influencing, Brett.  Those who have the vision have a moral obligation to inspire and teach. The next 10 years will determine the next 100.]]></description>
