    1. 1) all the desirable components of ANT, the philosophical ‘goodies’, merely ‘rehearse themes which have already been discussed at length in the Hegelian Marxist tradition’; 2) ANT has (problematically) abandoned the notion of Totality, ‘large-scale structure’ and power structures, and that such abandonment is based on the assumption ‘that all ill originates in universal, objectivist, totalizing master-narratives’ and; 3) that ‘any intellectual tradition which sincerely strives to be emancipatory can ill afford to do away with the idea of the human being’.

    1. The way people today consume news and learn about world events leaves much to be desired. Firstly, despite being interested in events, the actual "unit" of content that we consume is an article. If we wish to have broader, more complete and objective knowledge of the event we need to manually check multiple news sources and find different articles about the event. Secondly, although most articles about events answer the main questions about who, where, when and what, this information remains hidden in the text and requires the reader to manually extract it by reading the article. The lack of explicit knowledge does not only mean inefficient consumption of news for the reader, but also prevents us from having any kind of search engine for finding events based on these criteria. Lastly, our options for exploring related or similar events are very limited. News sources do sometimes provide links to related articles but they are typically bound to the same news source and contain just a few articles that were manually selected by the editors.
