It is the raw material from which new knowledge is derived and new cultural works are created.

Official Google Blog: A new approach to China →
… We have decided we are no longer willing to continue censoring our results on Google.cn, and so over the next few weeks we will be discussing with the Chinese government the basis on which we could operate an unfiltered search engine within the law, if at all. We recognize that this may well mean having to shut down Google.cn, and potentially our offices in China.

Designing for Social Innovation: An Interview with... →
Social innovation is a process of change where new ideas emerge from a variety of actors directly involved in the problem to be solved: final users, grass roots technicians and entrepreneurs, local institutions and civil society organizations.

Resilience: Accounting for the Noncomputable... →
Abstract: Plans to solve complex environmental problems should always consider the role of surprise.
