So have we. Bad Philosophy is your one-stop fix for random musings about everything from the nature of reality to the essence of modern digital society. Every week Stephen Torrence and Kevin Saunders invite guests from greater Texas Tech to chew the cud and make some magic.

Even before the film launched, This Week in Google discussed the film’s “anti-geek” tone and Jeff Jarvis slammed it in his review. Copyright reform advocate Lawrence Lessig also critiqued the film on a number of counts. Before all this controversy, The New Yorker wrote a long and revealing piece about “the real” Mark Zuckerberg, contrasting him with Aaron Sorkin’s character in the movie. Over the weekend Kevin, Kiki, and I all watched the film, and we had a few rebuttals to make on its behalf, partially inspired by webcomic author and blogger Tom Brazelton. Have a listen!
