Crappy 90s Alternative
François-René Rideau gave a speech at an Ayn Rand birthday party.#
Technology cannot make governments irrelevant. It cannot make us run away faster than the government will run after us. Governments too participate in technological arms-race; technology can and will be used to give governments more power to control individuals. And even when they won't run after you, governments will put walls around the food and water supply, and they'll catch you when you eventually come to eat and drink; a few might escape for a while, but unless they are fought on the battleground of opinion, governments will continue to extend their grasp on the vast majority, and to present a deadly threat to those who are currently out of its reach.
Liberty is a matter of philosophy. The only kind of technology that can help establish liberty is technology that will make it possible to convince a lot of people of the philosophy of liberty, and make it dominant. Until we develop such technology, we will have to curb our spine and support the overwhelming parasitic behavior of the State.
