Eric Hughes came up with that in the late 90's as part of his cypherpunks manifesto. Then came 9-11 in 2001. Eric Hughes ran away shrieking like Edward Lord Snowden ( Chickenman ) If you read all of Mongo's posts since that embarrassment then he's emphasized the widest possible reading of ' code '. Which only makes sense since the list was established to explore the possible ramifications of digital crypto on political economy - that is society. It was not designed to be a list for technical minded nerds to comb over specialized computer code. That particular niche was formally recognized with the establishment of ' Coderpunks ' Any alleged c-punk that doesn't know all this by now is not OG, hasn't done their homework and prefers ignorance to knowledge. ( Ohai Sampo ) They might then even compound that fatal error with a display of willful ignorance about list spam filtering in their email client. To stupid to be an activist let alone any kind of anarchist. Fuck off moron, Syreni. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg2np37JNEg
