Gilder is a genius. Even Oprah does not like him, that is proof.

Sounds unrealistic and unworkable to me.

Reading this now. Lots of good points. And he was right 20 years ago about TV.

Saw this guy last night——I had NO idea what he was talking about most of the time——but want to read his book.

Good stuff, especially the PKI plus blockchain. Proves ownership and allows end-to-end security without any trusted middleman or authority.

I hear sliding barn doors are in.. That, along with a pea and shells security approach,, might be considered a risky scheme by some visionaries.. like Al Gore or Barry Obammy.

Nice to know GooGle is not the end all... every ID a unique person unto themselves in a gelatinous web.

No. Why would I want to download something I have no reason to trust?

Chrome is snitchware, and FireFox is junk...

If you're using Edge, Safari or IE, there's no hope at all.

Capitalism vs. socialism: economist George Gilder weighs in.

Google has made the same error that Karl Marx made. The error? Assuming that the issue of human productivity has resolved to the point that we can focus solely on the distribution of the existing resources.

I read it, maybe understood a tenth of it. I’m an old, tech-challenged gal and it was tough sledding.

Gilder is brilliant on technology, but not on theology.

He asserts that men need to be civilized by women.

Jesus did not. His Apostles did not.

I did not.

Yeah, Gilder likes to show off his “techiness.” However, the main point I got (and I sent it to my tech guy who read it in minutes and had a detailed report) is that

*free ain’t free. We are increasingly paying with our time to do countless passwords, security clues, and then watch a ridiculous amount of ads to get the “free” stuff.

*As in anything, a top-down system is less likely ultimately to be as effective as a bottom up system. It will have advantages in the beginning-—like Nazi Germany-—but peter out when the “masses” get going.

*(for Gilder) the key is to correctly monetize everything.
