- Nov 07, 2020
It didn't matter what we did or where we did it as long as we were together. We knew we'd found what most people either pursue in years of futile search or dismiss as a fantasy at the outset: the missing half of ourselves. The real thing.

I'm still strongly opposed to antismoking laws, strongly opposed to any law that regulates personal behavior.
- Ideas
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If all ideas have to be bought, then you have an intellectually regressive system that will assure you have a highly knowledgeable elite and an ignorant mass.
- Living

Royalties are not how most writers or musicians make their living. Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales.

They seem to have forgotten that, and are back saying the only purpose of P2P networks is for illegal trading of owned goods. We claim part of the reason for P2P is for legal trading of what ought to be in public domain. And what is in public domain in many cases.
- Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
But generally speaking, I felt to engage in the political process was to sully oneself to such a degree that whatever came out wasn't worth the trouble put in.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The one thing that I know government is good for is countervailing against monopoly. It's not great at that either, but it's the only force I know that is fairly reliable.
- Intellectual
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I personally think intellectual property is an oxymoron. Physical objects have a completely different natural economy than intellectual goods.

Musicians by and large make a living with a relationship with an audience that is economically harnessed through performance and ticket sales.
- Individual
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Internet amplifies power in all respects. It can grossly exaggerate the power of the individual.
- Digestive
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Internet may well disempower the nation state, but at the same time, it also strengthens certain specific state functions - like surveillance. As a political entity, it doesn't empower the nation sate. It creates the availability of much more data than the digestive system of the nation state could possibly assimilate.
- Life

Google, Amazon, Apple. Any number of cloud providers and computer service providers who can increasingly limit your access to your own information, control all your processing, take away your data if they want to, and observe everything you do; in a way, that does give them some leverage over your own life.

Most scientific revelations happened after the pursuit of knowledge quit being secret and hermetic.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The government targets 'Anonymous' for the same reason it targets al-Qaida - because they're the enemy.
- Humanity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Internet is the most liberating tool for humanity ever invented, and also the best for surveillance. It's not one or the other. It's both.
- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that humor is part of what saves us from despair.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The 'Total Information Awareness' project is truly diabolical - mostly because of the legal changes which have made it possible in the first place. As a consequence of the Patriot Act, government now has access to all sorts of private and commercial databases that were previously off limits.
- First

In Cyberspace, the First Amendment is a local ordinance.
- Ethics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You do not know our culture, our ethics, or the unwritten codes that already provide our society more order than could be obtained by any of your impositions.
