Long Inferential Distances

KMO welcomes Eric Boyd of X-Prize Cars back to the program to patrol
the borders of conceptual space and test the vigilence of the border
holders whose extreme ideologies provide comfort to the mainstream.
Familiar landmarks include "the tragic comedy of suburban sprawl" and
the superlative visions of Singularitarians. Eric also waxes
enthusiastic on the Hacker Space phenomenon by which Alpha Geeks "find
the others" in meatspace and wrest control of technology from the
self-serving agenda of global corporate capitalism.
