Re: [ontolog-forum] Ontology in Mainstream Media

Haha..... The fact of the verbage "in all places, Hollywood Reporter" --- I am kind of surprised, slightly -- by the fact of that, and at the same time not at all -- that they themselves picked this up.

I remember when Guatam Guliani became CTO or CEO, I forget which.  And he was hiring for the ex Conde Nast Richard Beckman (http://gawker.com/243146/new-yorks-worst-bosses-richard-beckman) ---- Haha.  No, I like extreme people do not get me wrong; I would want to work for New York's worst bosses; and have worked for way better ones than New York; or equally, I mean.

Sort of pop interest, but thought people would appreciate it. The CEO of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer actually mentioned the word ontology at Davos, and it was reported ... in of all place ... the hollywood reporter.

"...

During the live stream outage, some people who were at the Mayer session tweeted that the Yahoo boss surprised the audience with the philosophical line: "You have to decide what the ontology of entities is." They said that the interviewer asked her to explain that, but nobody immediately shared her answer on Twitter. For those less interested in philosophy: Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being and existence.
