Ha! That reminds me of the fact that gmane no longer archives this list. (And even the mailman archives have been down for awhile.) So now's the time to speak freely because your words are less likely to be used against you later. 8^)
I can't help but wonder how the notorious lack of security in the Internet of Things will impact our (what Mikhail Epstein calls) "textoids", those little snippets of our produce, video, music, email, tweets, etc. The openness of the universe (as Dave's rant gets right) continues to flummox the GUMmers amongst us. At the ALife Evolution of evolvability I workshop, the group was bifurcated into 2 camps: those who thought hierarchy decreased degrees of freedom and those who thought it increased DoF. I'm still too ignorant to have a coherent opinion. But it seems either could be right.
