  • The war against computer freedom will just keep escalating, Doctorow contends. The copyright wars, net neutrality, and SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) were early samples of what is to come. Victories in those battles were temporary. Conflict in the decades ahead will feature ever higher stakes, more convoluted issues, and far more powerful technology. The debate is about how civilization decides to conduct itself and in whose interests.
    “Cory Doctorow is one of the great context-setters of our generation,” says Tim O’Reilly. Co-editor of the acclaimed blog “Boing Boing,” Doctorow writes contemporary science fiction blending contextual insight with journalistic depth. His recent books include " For the Win"; " Makers"; and " Little Brother".
    Long Now and the Electronic Frontier Foundation: www.eff.org/ bring Cory Doctorow to San Francisco for a glimpse into the future of computing and the increasing fight for control over our freedom both online and offline.
    "The Coming Century of War Against Your Computer" was given on July 31, 02012 as part of Long Now's Seminar series. The series was started in 02003 to build a compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking from some of the world's leading thinkers.

    It should be noted (today in 2022) that this talk was recorded in 2̶0̶1̶2̶ 2013, and that Cory first talked about The War Against General Purpose computing in 2011.
    (You'll be informed of these facts if you listen consciously to the first 15 minutes of this talk. But still though this should be noted.)

    2023- i feel for my grandchildren, all below the age of nine. The constant bombardment of open propaganda. Their losing the ability to relate to people face to face. No longer do they have to expand their brains, rather the learning is about how to access information by using the grid- a computerized construct that can be used as a club to curb opinion or to make one bow down if lack of compliance. How will they ever survive the wilderness upon a collapse?

    25:00 user-owner is a concept that is time immortal, and also called owner-servant. Regarding computers this was answered by Lawrence Leasing in the very title of his book (which I believe is posted in full on its web site, which is certainly part of the last bastion of democracy on the internet: web.archive.org) _Code is Law_.

    What the absolute hell is up with that nightmare-fuel 45-hour long sawtooth-hell of an intro?! Who thought that was a good idea!? You know you can cut segments out of videos, post-publication, these days right? You should cut that entire drone bit out. It's... a nightmare. A literal nightmare. Skrillex and brostep was a 2010 thing. We don't need reminding of it now.

    Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years?
    The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist.
    Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on TH-cam. The video reveals the prophecy of the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the End of the World. Watching this video will give hope to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.
