against the dark forest

Long and full of vivid imagery, this article is full, like a dense forces, around a core of a message I'll unveil here: "The public social internet is worth designing and governing in a way that demonstrates less than total amnesia about the history of human civilizations and the ways we've learned to be together without killing each other. For people with the ability and willingness to work on network problems, the real choice isn't between staying on the wasteland surfaces of the internet and going underground, but between making safer and better places for human sociability and not doing that." This presupposes, of course, that we've learned to be together without killing each other, though the evidence is equivocal on that. Still a fun read, though.
