The Sophistry

Normally, one doesn’t expect to find things like this on a politically liberal technology-oriented site, but TED.com has a great presentation from Paul Koontz with photos and commentary about North Korea.  I highly recommend it.

Apparently, many of the photos were taken on the sly, as Paul and his family were watched pretty carefully.

I couldn’t help but wonder what images Paul would have brought back if he had been allowed, like an actual tourist, to go visit other parts of the country besides Pyongyang and other places westerners are allowed to travel.
