Unanimity

"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity."

-Christopher Morley

DIY

If there is something really cool and you can't understand why somebody hasn't done it before, that's because you haven't done it yourself.

-Lion Kimbro

Morality

"I say that a man must be certain of his morality for the simple reason that he has to suffer for it."

-G.K.Chesterton

Critic

"I never met anybody who said when they were a kid, "I wanna grow up and be a critic."

-Richard Pryor

Fear

I believe that anyone can conquer fear by doing the things he fears to do, provided he keeps doing them until he gets a record of successful experiences behind him.

-Eleanor Roosevelt

Why Free Speech

Because we are not infinitely wise, our rationality is bounded; because we are not equally wise; because ideas matter, and because markets work.

Everything you see around yourself began as an idea, was embodied in stuff, and survived in the marketplace competition with other stuff.

Bad ideas have to be confronted. Free speech and expression is important because it exposes bad ideas. Censoring of expression is bad because the censors cannot be infinitely wise because no one is.

The Focal Point

The focal point is PEOPLE, not technology - hence many of the design aspects are not "foolproof". They are possible only when supported by public education and enforcement.
