John Carlos Baez:

>I support this declaration. I have one small comment: the document notes that "Technologies which affect the way in which mathematics is practiced may disturb the current system of incentives." The current system of incentives seriously is flawed in many ways, and I don't think maintaining the status quo should be our goal. However, we should work to improve it, not let it be corrupted by outside forces, as has already been done for decades by university administrators, journal oligopolies, etc.
