  • I think the Internet still has lots of promise. We just did a capitalism on it. If we can get the cancer out it’ll be an amazing thing again.

    But I do think some of that early promise was overestimated because mostly smart people were on it then. We thought it was the medium, but it was just techies or people with hobbies or interest that made it that special place, now that your average Joe is there it’s mostly shit, but go somewhere with a little barrier to entry (like Lemmy) and it is pretty cool again.













  • I feel like we are just a few years away from having to have papers to be alive.

    I mean if not having them can already get you sent to a prison camp in a foreign country for life, or if being a citizen of the wrong country can get you killed in your sleep and then the empire will act as if you didn’t ever exist, it really isn’t a stretch.
