]]>[...] Over the past few years I’ve had an uncomfortable sense that someone, or something, has been tinkering with my brain, remapping the neural circuitry, reprogramming the memory. My mind isn’t going—so far as I can tell—but it’s changing. I’m not thinking the way I used to think. I can feel it most strongly when I’m reading. Immersing myself in a book or a lengthy article used to be easy. My mind would get caught up in the narrative or the turns of the argument, and I’d spend hours strolling through long stretches of prose. That’s rarely the case anymore. Now my concentration often starts to drift after two or three pages. I get fidgety, lose the thread, begin looking for something else to do. I feel as if I’m always dragging my wayward brain back to the text. The deep reading that used to come naturally has become a struggle.

Google’s headquarters, in Mountain View, California—the Googleplex—is the Internet’s high church, and the religion practiced inside its walls is Taylorism. Google, says its chief executive, Eric Schmidt, is “a company that’s founded around the science of measurement,” and it is striving to “systematize everything” it does. Drawing on the terabytes of behavioral data it collects through its search engine and other sites, it carries out thousands of experiments a day, according to the Harvard Business Review, and it uses the results to refine the algorithms that increasingly control how people find information and extract meaning from it. What Taylor did for the work of the hand, Google is doing for the work of the mind.

]]>Pursuit of happiness is personal. Wellbeing crusaders have turned a private emotion into a public policy issue
[...]
The crusade aims to normalise what has been, until now, a rare and fleeting experience: that of the state of happiness. Until now this grotesque commodification of the emotion of happiness bordered on the inane. Governments and officials can’t teach us to be happy. Happiness is a state of mind that comes about through experiences that give us a special feeling of accomplishment or meaning about our lives. No one can help us to be happy, which is why policies that rely on the activity of therapists are far likelier to encourage us to conform to officially sanctioned forms of emotional behaviour.

A first-class fiasco. The reason the degree classification system is broken is too little autonomy, not too much
[...]
The demand “try harder next year” did not emerge from the academy. There is no obvious reason why academics should of their own accord set about inflating grades and devaluing degrees. It was the cumulative effect of external pressure that undermined the confidence of many universities to maintain their standards. This problem did not exist before the expansion of quality assurance and the institutionalisation of external auditing. The crisis afflicting the degree is intimately linked to the internalisation of the managerial culture.

SPECIAL REPORT: THE NEW UNIVERSITY: The Campus Of The Future
[...]
In the old days, professors concentrated on teaching and their personal research. They didn't care much about what was going on in other departments, let alone outside the campus gates. "There was a wall between the university and society," says David Audretsch, who studies the economic impact of universities at Germany's Max Planck Institute. "Universities didn't play much of a role in the economy." Starting in the 1980s, however, schools like Stanford and MIT became epicenters of the emerging knowledge economy, creating new disciplines like biochemistry and molecular biology; fostering spin-offs and start-ups, and bolstering research budgets by partnering with industry—one of the reasons, says Audretsch, for America's consistently higher economic growth rate in the 1990s. In the sciences, engineering, medicine, business, and economics the barriers that had isolated the university from society came tumbling down.

Gostava que Portugal fosse um país mais aberto. Que as pessoas pudessem dizer as coisas mais abertamente, sem se pensar que se está com segundas intenções. Que se pudesse discutir filosofia e política sem se pensar que são escolas de pensamento rivais para dominar posições nas universidades. Que a vida cultutral fosse mais intensa. Que o Estado tivesse um papel menor na nossa vida, que existissem menos separadores nas autoestradas e nas ruas.
