Ditto for anyone going into it in order to do pro bono >work on Cypherpunks issues. Great points. If you're looking to make a difference re: cypherpunk and pro- libertarian issues and have a scientific and practical streak, why not get an advanced degree in policy analysis instead? You get a rock-solid grounding in a number of critical disciplines, and put yourself in a position to seriously affect policy on the broadest possible stage. Not for the ideological "purists" out there, but personally I don't see anything at all wrong with wringing every ounce of information you can get from the real pros, whether they share your values or not. If there were a number of people committed to advancing libertarian issues who took this approach, I think it would be a great thing. Harvard is supposed to have the best program, but here's a little something I found online from the University of British Columbia which explains what it's all about. This one seems a little business-heavy, but other analysis programs have a lot more room to focus on technology policy. At least this gets you in the ballpark: Policy Analysis and Strategy Overview This PhD specialization covers both business strategy and public policy analysis. It draws strongly on underlying foundations in economics and in applied statistics. Topics in which faculty members have expertise include entrepreneurship and venture capital finance, international investment, the management of research and development, environmental management and policy, experimental tests of game theory, competitive strategy and competition policy, public enterprise and regulation, and international trade policy. Undergraduate or masters-level training in economics and/or quantitative disciplines such as mathematics, statistics or engineering would be a typical background for qualified students. Students with undergraduate backgrounds in commerce or business who have focused on the more quantitative areas would also be well qualified for the program. Once students are admitted they have extensive interaction with faculty members and attend a regular workshop run by the Policy Analysis Division, in addition to normal course work. The first major supervised research project is undertaken in the student's first summer. Except for those funded from outside sources, at least three years of funding is guaranteed to all admitted students. Program of Study There is considerable flexibility in the programs of individual students. All students are required to take a faculty-wide course in research methodology and a faculty wide course in teaching methods. Other required courses include: Economics 500 Microeconomic Theory Economics 565 Market Structure Commerce 581 or equivalent Statistical Methods Commerce 691 Advanced Topics in Policy Analysis The student will take at least four other courses to form two "fields" (two courses per field) and will normally take one or more additional courses in applied statistics or research methods. These courses will be chosen in consultation with the Graduate Advisor and may be in the Commerce Faculty or in other areas of study. Students normally complete their course work in two years and write comprehensive exams at the end of the second year. However, students who have taken prior graduate work may be able to complete course work requirements more quickly.

What is even being studied here? This sounds like a "problem" fumbling around until it reaches a critical consensus of definition. The opportunities for shenanigans, for good or ill, should be evident. Personally, I was a horny little fucker as a kid. I won't say when exactly, but the the lurid pulp covers at my eye level at the time tended to focus on Ilsa the she-bitch of the SS S&M type themes. I DID find this somewhat disturbing, if fascinating. It was not till sometime later that a friend and I discovered his father's Playboy collection (my old man kept his stash a lot better hidden) and I was exposed to more gratifyingly wholesome images. I can't say that any of it did me any harm, though. Anecdotal, to be sure, but it tallies with my observations of children in recent years, whether watching cable, surfing, or whatever. I know there are folks who won't abide it, but they will be better served by Consumer Reports. And so I've said my say, jbdigriz

One thing you know about an anonymous message - the poster >uses at least one cryptographic tool. Too many "cypherpunks" not only >don't write code, they can't even use code. So why is it that the vast majority of the technical and insightful contributions here seem to come from people who aren't averse to using a reasonable simulacrum of a real name and address? I made the deliberate choice not to use a remailer because I think it's more interesting to contribute while having a prior body of posts "attached" to me. People come to know more what to expect--and if I irritate/bore/piss them off too much, they stop reading me. Which is exactly as it should be. When I'm pressed for time here (as I usually am) I read people loosely ranked in order of how interesting I've found their posts to be in the past. I don't think I'd have the patience to wade through a big undifferentiated grab bag of irrelevant dross each day. And you know that's probably just what you'd end up with if no one had the slightest shred of accountability for any of their statements. There's too much discourse around here on the level of "you're a poopy head" "no, u r the poopy head" as it is. What does it really contribute? Besides a great example of Gresham's law in action, that is. For me, services like Hushmail and Cotse make for a nice compromise between full accountability (and full vulnerability) on one hand, and complete anonymity and privacy on the other. Though if you're after complete privacy re: your opinions and the details of your life, you're better off not writing them down in the first place, here or anywhere else. If what I "wanted" out of participating in the list were different, I can see myself making a different choice in either direction. I assume everyone here weighed those considerations for themselves before they got here: as far as I'm concerned, nobody has the slightest business deciding it for anyone else. ~Faustine.
