black jeans vs. khakis

ok, again -- lessig's lecture is well documented elsewhere, so here you get the other stuff:

discussing the regulatory nature of "the norms" of society, lessig said that "what you can wear at berkman center is a norm-- for example, wearing black jeans...... now we're going back to wearing khakis, it's wild at berkman." (zittrain made fun of lessig, saying, "i see you're representing the 90s here, wearing black jeans." and lessig shot back that "z" was channeling the 80's by wearing his khakis).

part of his lecture discusses that laws, societal norms, architecture and the market regulate behavior......

so he said these things are NOT the only things --- bringing up his 21-month-old son willem saying you can't say to the toddler "the rule is you CANNOT jump off the stairs to your death"

nor can you stigmatize your child into not jumping off the stairs to his death. (as he explains, he likes to do with smokers, shaming them into not smoking -- "go smoke in arizona")

and

"my house has been ruined with child-proof architechture...."

at one point, lessig's slide was apparently incomplete and he said "you can tell i'm not a geek!"

lessig: "if someone sends you spam offering viagra..." when there was no response from the audience "am i the only one who gets this viagra spam?"

zittrain: "i don't know, did you opt in?"

lessig: such-and-such program that alleges to help protect children against pornography online "tries to tell the difference between miss september and miss piggy"

I prefer black jeans due the price and the comfort, sometimes khakis are too hot for any weather.
