- huh Speaker John Ash has a whole manifesto I didn't know about!
- initial thoughts
- my response to skimming the preamble
- but most of the frame shear is in relation to other stuff
- > "It is clear that to succeed in our struggle against the forces which destroy the freedom of those around us, or our own freedom, we must secure the autonomy of all minds."
- our struggle against
- doesn't have a May I integrate what wants to be integrated as it wants to be integrated vibe
- we must secure
- sounds graspy and the sort of thing likely to justify weaponization
- > We reject forces that would seek to control not only the Internet, but the Minds communing there.
We Who Think, Declare Ourselves Free.- having trouble articulating what feels off about this to me exactly, but like, "we who think" does a weird frame thing in relation to those not signing the manifesto; has a very us/them quality
- and the whole thing about the internet feels naive to me, like, what exactly is being meant by the internet, and how do you draw that boundary and all sorts of other stuff
