Video from my Defcon talk with Greg Conti is now available if you didn't catch it in person. Many years ago we thought that the Internet would help up-level humanity by providing everyone with access to the world's information. In practice, what we've learned is that certain facets of human nature limit that potential. People often come to the Internet seeking personal validation rather than to understand the truth. We can't change what people are and how we're wired. However, historically human civilizations have managed to construct systems that harness our worst instincts in constructive ways - think about how capitalism leverages self interest to produce useful products, or how our government's system of checks and balances reigns in overzealous leaders. We must think about how to architect similar systems in the Internet. Ultimately, the highest purpose of computers is to augment human intelligence, and to do so, our computers must be designed to challenge the way we think. This talk is intended to provoke discussion about how to do that.
