About SXSW:
Started in 1987, South by Southwest (SXSW) is a set of film, interactive, and music festivals and conferences that take place early each year in mid-March in Austin, Texas. SXSW’s original goal was to create an event that would act as a tool for creative people and the companies they work with to develop their careers, to bring together people from a wide area to meet and share ideas. That continues to be the goal today whether it is music, film or interactive technologies.

This aged like milk: gas station milk from their dirty milk dungeons.
Was looking for the "2017 SXSW panel We are all scientists" where together three scientists (not amazon authors) discuss the value of and threat to critical thinking and scientific reasoning. why these skills need to be seen as accessible and important to everyone. unreal how it wasn't accessible, instead this shows up and that does not. lady says USA is at war with Australia, do not recall that act of congress happening. USA did however decalar war on Germany and italy, places speaker associates the USA with. While demonizing China, must have been filmed pre trade USA/China war. speaker goes on to uplift amazon and facebook with their data collections, says its okay reminds people its not okay when USA does it. Does speaker think NSA is okay as long as they're targeting the people whom the speaker perceived at this current moment in time as their enemies, even if they are citizens of the USA.

Why must researchers and scientists wear their politics on their sleeve?

[@ingetjeskids]

maybe it will look that way if you have a political bias which has to ignore science to survive?
