Jeff Jarvis on Politics - Dictionary of Arguments
Morozov I 135 Politics/Internet/Jarvis/Morozov: Jarvis is enthusiastic about a policy led by geeks in the name of scientific rationality. I 136 MorozovVsJarvis: he is not at all aware of how completely unoriginal such plans are. These demands are not so different from those of Saint-Simon, who demanded in 1821 that decisions in a new political order should be the result of scientific demonstration, regardless of human will (1). Bernard CrickVsSaint-Simon: Saint-Simon hated arbitrariness, incompetence and intrigue. These are characteristics of a policy, even of a very good one, as it is used in free states to regulate conflicts of interest. (2) 1. Quoted in B. Crick, In Defence of Politics, (1961) p 73. 2. ibid. P. 74_____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
