Hello Students:
I can’t lie. I am running behind on my Tuesday lecture. However, I am going to post the Thursday lecture first. After I emcee Accelerator tomorrow (which you may be interested in watching, if you want to see the kinds of businesses venture capitalists are looking to fund this year), I will record the Chapter 8 lecture.
This is a lecture delivered by Prof. Larry Lessig. A former Stanford Law Professor, he started the Creative Commons, an open copyright system that allows media creators to retain the rights to their work while allowing the public to access the work. He is also the author of several books on copyright, technology and creativity.
Now, he is working on Change Congress, an organization that looks at the institutional corruption of the government. Before you get worked up, though, understand “corruption” doesn’t mean what you think it means.
This is the opening lecture his Harvard series where he explains the problem with organizations + systems:
