Right now the Great Debate is going on. Some winning points from Bartle, Post, and Johnson.
Bartle: Virtual worlds can be better than real worlds. I like to call it intelligent design.
Johnson: We're dealing here with the collective actions of our minds. Who better than the inhabitants of a world to create their own rules?
Post: Why lose the opportunity to do better at making law? The rule of the "place of the server" is odd and arbitrary.
Michael Froomkin did an unbelievably graceful job of summing up and judging the Great Debate -- truly brilliant. Webcasts are here.
It's been a fine conference. Impossible to blog. It's been great talking to discourse.net, freedom-to-tinker, balkinization, isen.blog, smart mobs, and terranova.
