- 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.
