Identity 2.0

This is a bit old now (2005), but still well worth watching, not least because Identity 2.0 has not happen yet (check for more information here).
Dick Hardt's message is simple, powerful and probably right.
Just don't be mislead by the first few minutes of self-referential indulgence, it has a point.
And, by the way, contrary to what Lessing says, I would not recommend the style of the presentation: the pace is fun, the movie-like use of the slides unusual, but the overall effect is reflection-unfriendly (recall Nietzsche's line on "slow reading", or one should probably say today "slow powerpowering"), a bit tiring (like a pop song played too many times), and looses steam rather quickly (as the sequel shows).
