For those of you who have been misinformed by authority figures that communism is a decentralized system--it can't be. Everyone can't be raised to the same high level, so everyone has the be pounded down to the same low level. That requires centralized elites to do the pounding. — PolitiTweet.org

I can't convince you to want freedom. But if you do want freedom, it can't come to you in the form of a centralized system, whether that's communism, backdoored cryptography, or centrally controlled AI. — PolitiTweet.org

This in turn very easily becomes the communism debate. Why can't we have communism? Because the communist system will necessarily be top down and controlled by elites who will abuse the F out of it. Don't do that! — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with this is that scientists and technologists have a remarkably bad track record at predicting the consequences of their discoveries and technologies. Many are also very extreme politically. So it's difficult to rely on them for this. — PolitiTweet.org

In college I worked with a Soviet-trained mathematician. Her university had a single PC in the mid 80's, not connecting to anything. It was chained to a desk and guarded 24/7 by KGB thugs with Kalashnikovs. — PolitiTweet.org
