Due for Tuesday Read the following article on 8Chan and listen to the following podcast on it as well. Blog post: Should a website or forum like 8Chan exist? Should the government, society, or the "marketplace" have a role in dictating whether or not a website should be allowed to exist? Whose responsibility is it when individuals are radicalized to the point of violence through the internet? When should "free speech" be limited?

Blog Post: What notions or belief do you hold as true or real that you would have a hard time accepting, even if the math, science, or other perspectives prove you wrong?

What steps feel "tangible" enough to consider a plan "in action"? In general, our society places importance on the impact of actions, not the intention; should this be revisited in certain instances?
