Philosophy Wire: ICANN, .books and The Philosophy of Fools (or of the Internet)...

_64251444_icann1Philosophy Wire by Spiros Kakos [2012-11-21]: ICANN faces great problems with hundreds of applications to register new domains. Who will register the .islam domain? Who has the right to represent Islam? Who will register the .book domain? Or the .philosophy domain? [source: BBC News] The wrong decision is such a seemingly "technological" matter will determine a lot more than just a domain... It is unfortunate, but most people rely on appearances to make up their mind. And it is also unfortunate that the majority of people are weak minded and not able to see beyond the domain name that appears first in Google... So be careful ICANN... The future of widespread philosophical ideas lies upon you... (unfortunately)
