The big missing piece in this article is the economics perspective. Aka FB could dominate a mesh network just as well as a traditional one and for the same reasons.

In my experience having been near many church splits I still feel this simply isn’t true. Churches operate like git forks and merges of ideas.

I read the last paragraph analytically, as in the Sapir Whorf hypothesis. It can be difficult to identify that one is in a religion if one assumes that it will call itself one. In this case, missing the “cognitive tools” could be a precise way of describing the shortcoming.

I remember when democratising meant democracy

Thank you for let’s encrypt. Very grateful for your role in society.

Good luck sir!!!

While this works for some datasets with known statistical properties, it seems unlikely to become a universal option. Differential Privacy relies on the intuition that something is only private of it happens once in a dataset. Multiple times? Must be something humans have in common.

The issue is that you need massive datasets for everything non-personal to start repeating. And one of the parallel constraints of protecting privacy is not centralising massive datasets.

Encrypted computation needed.
