> it is all the more important to discuss

You're right. Sorry for not giving you the benefit of the doubt dude. Guess I'm kinda tired of being among the "negative idiots and luddites" warning about technofascist takeovers and the destruction of markets, choice and agency this last 10 years... Also this just isn't the forum for it, much as I love HN for other qualities. I do podcast (cybershow.uk) and you might find something a bit more lighthearted and in agreement with you there at times. respects
