It's not that I'm advocating being a luddite, stopping progress, or uncritically accepting the web, it's just that the most useful form of idealism (at least as far as I can see it), is realistic idealism because it's the most likely to be implemented and affect change. It's just hard for me to understand how realistically a clean room implementation of NewWeb is gonna beat out something that's already had billions poured into it and even today is progressing. The much easier step is figuring out how to make the web better, but it isn't sexy. No matter what you come up with is gonna be imperfect and criticized and have holdouts anyway.
