The podcast of my “Web of Ideas” session at the Berkman Center on messiness as a virtue is now available. It’s a long ‘un and more of a lecture than usual.

My topic wasn’t why you really should tidy up your office. (You know you should.) It’s about knowledge and why we have thought neatness is a sign of a proper understanding of a topic, why it’s good that our mental categories are messy, what Aristotle got wrong, and whether the Semantic Web is too much of a fuss-budget for its own good.
