That may be your opinion, but humans don't work like that. It's a question of which human folly you magnify with your technology. Whether it dies out quickly does not matter once the damage is done. Also - keep in mind that what y

Good point. I would still say that the route "from Alto to Macintosh" is thinking more in IQ terms and that the full path, Alto to Macintosh to market , is frequently underestimated. I had a feeling that while Kay may have apprec

That's besides the point: My argument is that we need to understand it in a historical context. 52% of Californians voted for Prop 8 in 2008. But: Had you asked 10, 25, 50, 100 years before that, what would the outcome have been? Draw
