I don't agree.
One thing we do know is that, although Crypto is available and, in special
contexts, used, it's use in other contexts is almost counterproduct, sending
up a red flag so that those that "Protect Our Freedoms" will come sniffing
around and bring to bear their full arsenal of tech
James overlooks the agricultural virtue of cypherpunks death
and rebirth for the natural cycle gets rid of old growth and allows
for a new improved version.
No doubt the old crop doesn't get much satisfaction being
taken for manure, nor do the new sprouts see any reason to hail
the shit doing
