The answer is "yes," says Andrew Keen, author of "The Cult of Amateur: How Today's Internet is killing our culture." For his NPR interview from which I lifted the title of the game to judge, and the profession of ' education - paid for and talk to us - that would all say. If you are not paid for it, keep your thoughts and your know-how for themselves. Better yet, do not do it with one, because, as only an amateur, you are not entitled to them, and soDo not have. Be quiet and keep in awe the art and wisdom of your pay-per-do-it better.

As a more than adequate for the argument of Mr. Keen back in 1644 made by John Milton in his immortal Areopagitica, a speech in defense of publishing without a license (which is something that we as "Internet" of today, including where once again when she was on paper, books and pamphlets, and not on computer networks) are based, would be a waste of time to go to a point by point debateespecially since, to date, are the bloggers, YouTubers and the rest of Wikipedians "amateurs," so abhorred by Mr. Keen, protected by the U.S. Constitution.

Instead, it is sufficient just to have a list of some amateurs, and have their names speak for themselves. Nor would it do to remember the prominent and well-documented lack of a significant "professional" appeal on at least one area of vital importance of knowledge.

We should begin in 1905with an employee certain Swiss government? Can not find a stranger to the situation, including a school teaching position, after obtaining his degree, a Mr. Einstein was making ends meet by filling out documents at the Patent Office, and in his dream, the arrogance of the world himself a scientist, and even the courage to scrawl what he thought was the scientific work - that was not possible, the case would be, has not been paid by them. Ah Mr. Keen was born too late to prevent the scandalousRecognition of this gentlemen amateurs, that Mr. Einstein, as a first class scientist with a contribution to physics, which can resist any professional other than the great Sir Isaac Newton.

Similarly, Mr. Keen is no doubt in his desperation to save humanity from the shameful fact that modern chemistry was not founded by a professional, but hindered by an aristocratic dilettante named Robert Boyle, a businessman or simple predators and lawyer, Lavoisier, from contributing to this science in amost fundamentally, by the law of conservation of matter.

Nor could he, to his great regret, stop only the lawyer, Mr. Pierre Fermat, has made an enormous contribution to the theory of numbers, or just a brewery and a local politician in the city of Gdansk, Mr. Hevelius, of Facing one of the most important astronomers of the seventeenth century.

It would be interesting to explain Mr. Keen, a curious fact that, for all the fullness of the "professionals", wenot understand how truly recognized as an urgent problem because of terrorism - as the public the former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. For all the "professionals" in the field of science, printing and reflection, and our government does not know enough about terrorism to come from the rain. One wonders whether they would benefit from some of the amateur classes Einstein to help - but even if it is available, their professional-looking nose too high note in the air, to ourgreat damage and loss.

As a person who "wants Internet-ize," so to speak, the press itself, leveling the playing field in the publication and Americans, which allows for themselves instead of talking hostage to publishers if they want their right to freedom of speech, (and who got to take the first ball, the federal action), I can not help but "professionals" laughing matter Mr. Keen. "But when I heard on the radio, in the sense of myAmateurism so impressed me that I am prevented from my title, Mr. Keen - because I am an amateur, worthy of reading and entered the realm of professionalism? I can understand that their career-thesis? We appreciate the greatness of his thoughts on business? See the majesty of his language professionally constructed?

Understanding of professional book Mr. Keen is obviously unattainable by the spirit of a mere amateur. LetProfessionals to read.

But I think there is a cure. Make me a professional reader of your book, Mr. Keen. They pay me to read it. In accordance with your topic, if I'm paid, I will be able to understand them.

But if you're me, I have nothing to do with your book.
