Great talk, a good overview of centralization and its effects. Best quote "they bought out the librarians, librarians are great but they take google money"

Interesting point about Robert Jackson and the Supreme Court not needing to be lawyers.

Why are USPS mail tampering laws so strict, even with personal coorespondences (described on the USPS website as a sacred trust), but electronic communications nonexistant. Oh, because one is private, one is public. So what about a highly regulated public electronic forum in addition to snail mail that conforms to USPS standards, overseen by traditional USPS regulators.

That talk was brilliant. If he used a Hillary "everybody's going to applaud now" voice at the end it would have gotten a standing ovation. Thank goodness he didn't use that clown trick. Bravo if that's still a word.

As a point of fact. Timothy Leary did not invent LSD. It had been around before WWII and all Leary did was promote its usage when he was a controversial academic during the tumult of the 1960s.

Regulation will do shit --- it will be watered down and nothing will change. If you want change - don't go to govt, people make changes.

Matt Stoller is useless. Why bother getting him to speak.
