I upvoted both this and the "Gemini is Solutionism at its Worst" post mentioned.

It's a radical idea, but the truth is probably somewhere in the middle.

What is "radical" about Gemini?

I didn't refer to Gemini. It was meant to be read as:

"Here's a radical idea: the truth is probably somewhere in the middle."

HTTP and Gopher both filled that role last century so I'm not certain how that's radical. Admittedly, part of Gopher's failure in the market was that someone, U of M, tried to get money out of licensing it, but that came after its initial release.

What else is radical about it?
