Comment on Knowledge Should Not Be Gated

Comments

Information wants to be free! I remember when that was the rallying cry of hackers. I miss those days.

“Hack the Planet!” — Hackers

those days are still here, people just want to know where the information is coming from.

the rallying cry from hackers has never ever been “information wants to be free from sources”

and hackers have also never implied “information from a dipshit should hold the exact same weight as an expert”

yet somehow both of those is the world we’re running towards as fast as we can.
