+ The Deluge of Spurious Correlations in Big Data (Calude & Longo 2016) +

A 2016 mathematical proof that demonstrates the fallacy + of the market-driven, anti-scientific Big Data ideology, + that "computer-discovered correlations should replace + understanding and guide prediction and action." In + fact, "[t]oo much information tends to behave like very + little information. The scientific method can be + enriched by computer mining in immense databases, but + not replaced by it." The aim of the authors is "to + document the danger of allowing the search of + correlations in big data to subsume and replace the + scientific approach."

+ The Computer for the 21st Century (Weiser 1999) +

Xerox PARC has been one of the epicenters of theoretical + and practical computer development in the Silicon + Valley. This article predicts the disappearance of + computers in our Century by ubiquity. "There is more + information available at our fingertips during a walk in + the woods than in any computer system, yet people find a + walk among trees relaxing and computers + frustrating. Machines that fit the human environment + instead of forcing humans to enter theirs will make + using a computer as refreshing as taking a walk in the + woods."

+ Collaboratively mapping alternative economies Co-producing transformative knowledge, (Labaeye, 2017) +

+ “One of the critical factors of digital knowledge is the + ‘hyperchange’ of technologies and social networks that + affects every aspect of how knowledge is managed and + governed, including how it is generated, stored, and + preserved” (Hess and Ostrom, 2007, p. 9). +

Hess and Ostrom (2007), argued that digital technologies + redefine knowledge as a commons, meaning, as a resource + shared by a group of people that is vulnerable to social + dilemmas (Hess and Ostrom, 2007, p. 3).

Understanding knowledge as a commons offers a new lens + for considering the question of ownership in the process + of knowledge production and its outcomes.

[...] This leads to the formulation of the hypothesis + that licenses and infrastructure provision do play a + central role in defining how mappings of alternative + economies unfold.
