Aria Row: What we need is a web site where you would say something like, i like mushroom petsa and there would be an enormous roar of football stadium sized crowd suc. The next level would be, the next time i'm in seattle, d cria, we could sit down and have coffee and that would be fun, just face to face. A different type of human experience emerges on emergence of new digital technology - but he's got something to say at the same time I don't want to do it under oath.

Writer and management consultant Venkatesh Rao talks about Waldenponding with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Rao coined the term Waldenponding to describe various levels of retreating from technology akin to how Thoreau extolled the virtues of retreating from social contact and leading a quieter life at Walden Pond. Rao argues that the value of Waldenponding is overrated and that extreme Waldenponding is even somewhat immoral. Rao sees online intellectual life as a form of supercomputer, an intellectual ecosystem that produces new knowledge and intellectual discourse. He encourages all of us to contribute to that intellectual ecosystem even when it can mean losing credit for some of our ideas and potentially some of our uniqueness.
