James Schaap’s blog noting the outing of Jonah Lehrer for plagiarism. Linked to a longer piece on Slate detailing the violations. Schaap also has some comments on information and knowledge.
“But one of the downsides of all of that info is it has become, for all of us, much more difficult to determine what’s true and what isn’t. When the air is full of words, discretion becomes more tedious, more difficult, and, quite frankly, more impossible. ” This was a quote from his blog. 🙂 Just trying to do due diligence. 🙂
