Before I went to live in New York, a guy who had once lived there told me that once you have lived there, and then left, that you will miss it every single day for the rest of your life. As the years pass I have come to understand it's true.
Chesterton:
“It is said truly in a sense that Pan died because Christ was born. It is almost as true in another sense that men knew that Christ was born because Pan was already dead. A void was made by the vanishing world of the whole mythology of mankind…” so yeah.. Merry Xmas
one of the greatest visuals of all time. would add that some of the black lines of the past connect to green lines of the future even if it’s not clear how.
I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating.
Our generation is running out of time to save the free Internet built for us by our fathers.
What was once the promise of the free exchange of information is being turned into the ultimate tool of control.
Once-free countries are introducing dystopian measures such as digital IDs (UK), online age checks (Australia), and mass scanning of private messages (EU).
Germany is persecuting anyone who dares to criticize officials on the Internet. The UK is imprisoning thousands for their tweets. France is criminally investigating tech leaders who defend freedom and privacy.
A dark, dystopian world is approaching fast — while we’re asleep. Our generation risks going down in history as the last one that had freedoms — and allowed them to be taken away.
We’ve been fed a lie.
We’ve been made to believe that the greatest fight of our generation is to destroy everything our forefathers left us: tradition, privacy, sovereignty, the free market, and free speech.
By betraying the legacy of our ancestors, we’ve set ourselves on a path toward self-destruction — moral, intellectual, economic, and ultimately biological.
So no, I’m not going to celebrate today. I’m running out of time. WE are running out of time.

Biology mutates at the membrane, not the core. Cities grow at the edge. Yet bold ideas are too often forced to look familiar before they’re let in - and their novelty is lost. We live in a time of possibilities, not probabilities. The perimeter should be the launch pad, not the filter. #InnovationUnwrapped
