Wow! This really captures several key facets of what's going on. Thank you for making time to write all of that.

P.S. Your JPB quote from 1992 reminded me of Stuart Brand in 1985:

> "Computers suppress our animal presence. When you communicate through a computer, you communicate like an angel."

Thanks/YW. Yeah, a lot of those old 90s libertarian/community building/better world idealism hit me right when I was coming of age. I'm a pessimist now, but those early days were inspirational in what could be.
