You mean the philosophy that has him releasing material with carefully timed consideration to maximize attention to his own pet cause?
- MichaelGG 10y agoCarefully timed means biggest impact, which means Wikileaks stays high profile, gets more funding, etc. There's nothing wrong with being a bit self serving if that results in an overall higher score on whatever your final criteria are.
- squidfood 10y agoFine, but then one can't claim his philosophy has anything to do with "releasing everything without any consideration or censorship." He is de-facto censoring/holding back knowledge that he possesses, with a specific agenda in mind.
- PavlovsCat 10y agoYeah, like someone submitting stories at a certain time of day to HN instead of just when the idea hits them... oh sure, of course they would say "I thought you might find this interesting, that's all I'm doing here", but I'll feel secure in the knowledge that you'll show up to call out their "specific agenda".
- dogma1138 10y agoI know he has his agendas, possibly I should have used "his self proclaimed philosophy" instead.
