The liberation of the truth and its right uses are the flip sides of the loss of privacy and places to hide. How we build that cage, how we live in it, is not built into digital technology but into our souls. That is where we make decisions about making decisions, and that is where we discover a capacity for freedom that enables us to define our lives as heroic or debased. A schedule of speaking venues for the Gamaliel Chair during October and November is available to those near Milwaukee by email request. Islands in the Clickstream is an intermittent column written by Richard Thieme exploring social and cultural dimensions of computer technology and the ultimate concerns of our lives.
