an interesting discussion :)

"This is perhaps our last fundamental tradeoff before the Singularity occurs: Do we, as a society, want the comfort and convenience of increasingly technologic, invisible digital integration enough to pay for those benefits with the liberties that must be given up to be protected from the downsides of that integration?" -- dan

i would argue that there is an alternative in design and architecture, mainly those which decentralize and protect end-to-end. however, there is a cost attached to these efforts as well, which so far most opt-out of paying...

best regards,

And I would reply that only those who commit to those efforts can see it more clearly that there are no credit, financing or bitcoin scheme that can side-step the payment. Great article dan! -- 010 001 111
