"We are creating a world that all may enter without privilege or prejudice accorded by race, economic power, military force, or station of birth.

We are creating a world where anyone, anywhere may express his or her beliefs, no matter how singular, without fear of being coerced into silence or conformity."

- Excerpt from A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace by John Perry Barlow

@brennen @Irick trying to solve social problems with technology is like trying to fix broken hearts with super glue. It might seem plausible in theory, but the reality is very different.

@mawr @brennen

@brennen @Irick super glue was not developed to resolve emotional trauma, nor was it designed to stitch organs together. It was designed to hold skin together in lieu of stitches.

My metaphor stands.
