When i first prepared this particular talk... i realized that my usual approach is usually critical. that is, a lot of the things that i do, that most people do, are because they hate something somebody else has done, or they hate that something hasn't been done. and i realized that informed criticism has completely been done in by the web. because the web has produced so much uninformed criticism. it's kind of a gresham's law-bad money drives the good money out of circulation. bad criticism drives good criticism out of circulation. you just can't criticize anything.

More From Alan Kay

To walk in money through the night crowd, protected by money, lulled by money, dulled by money, the crowd itself a money, the breath money, no least single object anywhere that is not money. money, money everywhere and still not enough! and then no money, or a little money, or less money, or more money but money always money. and if you have money, or you don't have money, it is the money that counts, and money makes money, but what makes money make money?
Money Night Crowds
I hate the way you talk to me, and the way you cut your hair. i hate the way you drive my car. i hate it when you stare. i hate your big dumb combat boots, and the way you read my mind. i hate you so much it makes me sick; it even makes me rhyme. i hate it, i hate the way you're always right. i hate it when you lie. i hate it when you make me laugh, even worse when you make me cry. i hate it when you're not around, and the fact that you didn't call. but mostly i hate the way i don't hate you. not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all.

On the contrary, it's because somebody knows something about it that we can't talk about physics . it's the things that nobody knows anything about that we can discuss. we can talk about the weather; we can talk about social problems; we can talk about psychology; we can talk about international finance gold transfers we can't talk about, because those are understood so it's the subject that nobody knows anything about that we can all talk about!

Debunking bad science should be constant obligation of the science community, even if it takes time away from serious research or seems to be a losing battle. one takes comfort from the fact there is no gresham's laws in science. in the long run, good science drives out bad.
Running Law Long
The law is equal before all of us; but we are not all equal before the law. virtually there is one law for the rich and another for the poor, one law for the cunning and another for the simple, one law for the forceful and another for the feeble, one law for the ignorant and another for the learned, one law for the brave and another for the timid, and within family limits one law for the parent and no law at all for the child.

I can criticize your religion all i want, and you can criticize mine. i don't like this whole climate of, 'you can't ever say anything bad about the group i'm in, cause every group is untouchable.' we can all criticize each other and engage in debate all we want.
