This comment is enraging. "Have faith that totalitarianism will work this time" - as if the 20th century didn't happen.
- jMyles 8y agoDid I say that? Or something that made you thought I meant that? To be clear: I view government as a temporary necessary evil whose time is coming to a close in the coming decades or centuries. I am not asking anybody to accept totalitarianism, nor to accept that repeating a failed experiment will suddenly, and for unspecified reasons, yield different results. Resistance in the face of totalitarianism is an ongoing imperative; please don't think that I am unsympathetic. Rather, I am just reporting that the way that I come to peace with the aspects of emergence of technology that are out of my control is to have faith that something incredible, natural, and evolutionary is occurring.
