Comment 6.1

By nature and training a whole systems thinker, I tend to view the architecture of commerce, the architecture of 
government, and the architecture of inquiry as participants in a larger system.

When it comes to the desiderata of inquiry, I find myself constantly returning to the guidance of Charles S. Peirce, so 
elegantly maximized in the following words:

“Do not block the way of inquiry.”

My last best expression of how I saw the problem of sustaining the soul of inquiry within the body of the post*modern 
millennial university is contained in the following paper:

Conceptual Barriers to Creating Integrative Universities

Comment 6.2

As far as the interaction between the dynamics of commerce and the dynamics of inquiry goes, there may always be a 
tension between the two value systems, the one that is coming to value short-term monetary profit above all else, and 
the one that orients itself toward sustainable truth over the long haul.

But I think we are passing a critical point, where the party of gold is now insisting on a right to control the whole, 
or else crush the party of green out of existence.

Back when this discussion starting hitting the air webs, I collected a few of my impressions on this blog page:

Comment 6.3

Peer review as measure of quality can be replaced — and in these times there is no austerity of forces pushing to 
replace it with something far worse.  Wherever you find a measure of quality that is too one-dimensional and 
simple-minded to be true, you will find that someone is getting filthy rich selling the custodians of quality a 
clockwork broom.
