The opening is terrible. Dig up the tech dirt? Kill me. The point about the three body problem was a good observation. The lack of transparency concern is a good one, it seems to me that few people know what they are giving up compared to what they are getting. He had a good point about access for the poor with a free service, again, the point is the transparency of what pays for the service. The tragedy of the Commons and the "Russian hackers" point seems dumb. They put less than $100k into the election, a few Facebook ads didn't do shit. Is there really a national security risk? The discussion really got bogged down in the middle. I didn't see much value there. If you are going to refer a writer, you need to lay out their arguments. "If you waste my time, I want you to really know me" groan. The creepy versus awesome discussion on information discovery is probably the best part. The Netflix based internet discussion left a lot of value on the table. For example, $10 a month per website is unsustainable but micro transactions discussion should have been flushed out more. Re: Does the micro payment discussion change when it is the tenth of a penny versus five? The cap on micro transactions is a good idea. Re: flatter. The blockchain thing at the end was God awful. Value go up!
