If possible, can you explain why/in which ways that is misleading?
2020-09-07 22:48:36 +0000 UTCThere's nothing revelatory in pointing out that the ARPA and DARPA are part of the US military, but it's so misleading to then use that to suggest we're all prey to some vast government conspiracy by using the internet. These arguments sow a lot of unnecessary fear and nihilism

2020-04-24 13:50:29 +0000 UTCI think he clearly has a lot of thoughts and felt he was talking to people who "get" where he's coming from - i.e. two also skeptical Russians - so didn't need to elaborate. Personally I was happy to take many of these points as provocations to think about further. Also I think the right to privacy as a product of white suburbia thing didn't need that much more elaboration - under the SU, individuals didn't expect privacy from the state. Most cultures worldwide even today are much more family-orientated and poorer than US suburbia so individuals don't get much privacy from their family members or members of their village etc either. Having the privacy of a house surrounded by a lawn with only your nuclear family inside and individual rooms for each family member is still a state of exceptionalism compared to rest of the world.

2020-04-23 10:18:12 +0000 UTCA lot of declarations from the guest without any followup explanations. “We’re perpetually stuck in 1960s counterculture.” Okay, how so? “The internet is totally a boomer medium.” Okay, how so? “Right to privacy is a product of privileged white suburbia.” But... privacy is also important... right? “What does the internet being a public utility even mean? PG&E was a public utility and it was corrupt.” Alright, what alternative would you propose to change the internet as it currently is?
2020-04-23 08:30:03 +0000 UTCGo back to Soviet Union Yasha.
