That essay started me on a career in technology espousing the ideals of the Free Software Foundation and the power of the internet to transform the world. The internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. It seemed to be true, for a while. I really thought he was one of the good guys but Q seemed to imply otherwise. Strange days.
I didn't understand the significance of that essay coming from Davos, Switzerland when I first read it 30 years ago. An older, more cynical me wonders what the fuck that cat was really on about.
Edit to say I've started raising chickens but still work in tech.:)
Some serious forward thinking, that’s for sure. It’s a shame what he was saying didn’t catch on more. I was around when the internet really started popping off too. I don’t think anyone just using it at home ever thought it would get to this point. I really didn’t start learning about the attacks that go on everyday until I got out into the real world and started working in IT related positions. I’m sure any old John Doe doesn’t really care and has no interest in us until things like this started to happen.

Hahaha! I’m in the same boat as you Fren. Starting to contemplate actual farming, not in the data sense. Lol
