Government secrecy is a complex issue and I don't feel that I'm not informed enough on it to have strong opinions. There are many things I don't like, but I recognize that there are details I don't know.
I'll focus on what I know, which is the technology industry. I'm very glad to see the moral legitimacy of the main players, and the current software-industry culture of authoritarian mediocrity in which technologists get minimal autonomy and respect, fall to pieces. In Silicon Valley, it's time for a regime change.
FWD.us and Sean Parker's wedding and closed allocation and that jungle party with the 600-pound tiger (WTF?) prove, beyond any reasonable doubt, that this elite is not materially different from any of the others and that it is utterly unfit to rule over (or even steward) modern society's most important activities: science and technology.
