Public Sticky notes
The first part is right: there is a lot of corruption. In fact, I
think there is far more than Lessig suggests. Our schools are taught
from textbooks which are chosen through a corrupt process. Our college
professors only receive tenure if they teach the established wisdom
(or something novel that's close enough). Our corporations routinely
break the law to maximize profit. Our media routinely get the facts
wrong in service of their monetary interests. Our public intellectuals
sign their names on to corporate-written op-eds and PR-run
psuedoconferences. And so on.
