The Seventh SSC Atlanta Meetup – the Devil Advocates!
I’ve waited a bit too long to write this up, as I’ve forgotten the salient links I was going post – the gist of it
- We did not make technological predictions
- I did my best to play the devils’s advocate position and come up with any defensible restrictions on free speech – it was quite difficult and I did not succeed.
One thing that did occur to me is that that everyone who goes to these sorts of things is all on one side of the “Atomized individual vs member of society” spectrum. I need to explore that a bit. And as promised, for a view from very much the other side of that spectrum, here is the long memory. It’s good to listen to people who don’t agree with you, and indeed are playing an entirely different game.
The turnout was good – five people IIRC.
