RE: Curating the Internet: Science and technology digest for December 20, 2019

Regarding legislating truth, I note that the necessity is nonexistent. It is lies that must be protected. I expect propaganda to increasingly gain the power of forced propagation by government that supposes to both immortality and omnipotence despite, indeed, the result of, it's ever growing irrelevance and actual obstruction of the quality of life of civilians in an age of transcendence of limits to individual power.

Thanks!

Reminds me of a Jefferson quote, from his Notes on the State of Virginia: "It is error alone that needs the support of government. Truth can stand by itself."

I also suspect that regulation might be a "solution" that would be worse than the problem. I usually try to stick to the content of the links when I'm writing these and leave my own political opinions at the door. (Although I don't always succeed completely at that. ; -)
