The Julian Assange Conspiracy - Networks, power and activism →
In this short interview, Peter Ludlow, Professor at the Dept. of Philosophy at Northwestern University, uses network theory to explain how conspiracies arise naturally during the emergence of certain kinds of social networks, and Assange’s work to identify, expose, and dismantle these conspiracies.
“The object of Wikileaks is to dismantle the conspiracies that, according to its founder, rule the world. But what is a conspiracy and are you part of one? According to Assange, it’s possible to be a member of conspiracy without even knowing that you are. This week, we look at Julian Assange’s political philosophy and his view of the world as a network of conspiracies.”
