egsvideo  2008-01-17 10:09:20 thank you for the comment. instead of using the word "defense" i would rather describe it as irony - but as always: your are welcome. i hope you can enjoy the open, free, shared lectures and thoughts. __________________________________________________
BillBillard  2008-01-16 21:53:41 haha, well what a supercilious defense of class-contained/constrained - production/distribution of knowledge. the above statement is so riddled with contradiction that i can't even begin to disect it in this forum. leftist liberal contortionists abound...the above comment is textbook reactionaryism. __________________________________________________
highway234  2008-01-15 08:41:08 awesome! can we have some 'za while we're learning about history? seriously though, this stuff is great. there should be lots like this on youtube. you guys get some really huge names in the field coming through there... __________________________________________________
egsvideo  2008-01-06 03:08:26 thats right. you understood the "dude" perfectly. even better, you don't have to think at egs - thats why all these smart people are there. just come and switch to consumption mode and everything will be fine. later on you will be given great jobs with a huge salary - and you wont have to work there either. the next evolutionary stage will be getting all the benefits from egs while not even coming ... :) __________________________________________________
BillBillard  2008-01-05 23:36:54 dude said he made university the way it should be... so at egs there are no tuition fees, you get a decent stipend while attending, and it's open to all? __________________________________________________
