Before getting all harsh on me for this blog post title…

This is a fascinating Talks At Google from Joshua Klein. Klein is a hacker. Now, if the term "hacker" scares you, consider him a technologist who is fascinated with systems thinking. Some people may recognize him as the guy who trained crows to fetch lost change (no joke). He starts off this presentation by asking, "what’s your mother worth?" and it just keeps getting more fascinating after that. This is all about reputation economics. In a world of Klout, social media and even digital currency, this one is a must see. What are you worth? What’s your reputation worth?
