Dewey’s “The Public and Its Problems” is a pretty damn good book, in case anyone was wondering.
@henryfarrell I assume you're re-reading for hundredth time like some re-read cat-in-hat.

@emptywheel Yes - but each time, new stuff jumps out. Am now thinking I need to write a Dewey Gets the Internet essay. But no time. -
@henryfarrell@emptywheel The Internet as his imagined nonprofit super-journalism that can overcome the intellectual division of labor? -
@mdpollak@emptywheel He aptly captures mixture of opinion and insight, and offers some sense of how it might be improved. -
@henryfarrell@emptywheel Interesting. What suggestions would he have for us? (Or a page cite?) -
@mdpollak@emptywheel The “Search for the Great Community” chapter is most relevant. But it’s a very short (albeit fitfully gnomic) book. -
@henryfarrell@emptywheel That's what I figured. What's a specific suggestion for improving internet we can glean? -
@mdpollak@emptywheel He’s cagy on specifics, beyond calling for a much more publicly engaged social science etc. -
@henryfarrell@emptywheel And that's you
