Re: [ox] Re: [ox-en] role of science and universities

I fully agree with your answer, but I doubt that the universities 
can be reformed. I guess that instead, science will move out 
from there sooner or later and find its new home on the 
internet.


But where is the home of the internet?

We have to appreciate that all we are doing is still largely founded on
academic networks.

It reminds me a little bit of the situation 400 - 500 years ago when the
Universities
were founded.

Everybody then said: lets move out of the monasteries!

And in a way, the monasteries lost a lot of their importance.

But it would be an error to assume that monasteries did not continue to
play
a certain role in the scientific system.

I find this another exciting application of McLuhans Laws of Media.
