“The Shirky Principle”
by chris on Apr.09, 2010, under general
Clay Shirky, via Kevin Kelly, via James Grimmelmann:
“Institutions will try to preserve the problem to which they are the solution.”
Original insight? No. Perfect phrasing? Yes.
Then again, that’s Shirky’s M.O. If you haven’t read Here Comes Evertbody, read it; I’ve already pre-ordered Cognitive Surplus.
(all those “via”s – no wonder “RT” needed to be invented!)
