Just finished “The Nerd Reich” by @gilduran.com . The closing chapter literally kept me awake half the night, so clear and urgent is it. This is the statement, with all the receipts, that every single person needs to hear yesterday: this world belongs to us, the 8 billion. It is not the playground of the 3,400 deluded billionaires who think that they alone are worth saving.

"What truly binds together this movement is a desire for freedom from, if not total control over, nation-states; a belief in the superiority, either innate or engineered, of a superior class of elite coders and engineers; and a complete rejection of any conception of social responsibility or equality under the law."
