Schneier has earned much of my respect over the years, but he lost a little by hosting this. It's written by a star-struck fan who is so impressed by Schneier's life work that the article is almost entirely focused on how impressed the author is with Schneier, and I was entirely turned off by the time "the Plan" is mentioned. There was a keynote speech, which I'd be interested in reading a transcript of. Instead, the author swerves to talk about a sci-fi reinvention of democracy which is not "the Plan". Is there a plan? I don't know, the only thing I learned is that Schneier is willing to post lickspittle under a bait headline.
- SllX 4y agoNot sure who Schneier is but I tried to heed your comment here and skim for what could plausibly be a plan and it wasn’t there. It really is just hype. LPT to the author of the article: If ideas matter, they can stand alone to the person who you conceive of having originated them and be defended separately.
- auggierose 4y agoUnfortunately, this is not how people work. Ideas DO matter, but most people cannot be convinced by a sound argument only. Which in a way makes sense, because logic alone will get you only so far.
