> .. the fix-the-Internet people want a dynamic Internet,.. lots of different ways of talking.. organizing.. attending virtual schools, exchanging money.. arguing.. and sharing ..
The problem isn't (merely) that the #CEOs.. are not suited to making choices that govern the digital lives of billions of people. It's that no one is suited to making those choices.
> #Twitter.. precarious enough to take the risk.

> #Twitter itself is rich in #Google alumni, with more than 10 percent of its 2,300-person work force estimated to be former employees.. including co-founder #EvanWilliams..
The only really big business that can be traced to the Twitter Mafia so far is #Square.. mobile payment company hatched by.. #JackDorsey..worth more than $3 billion.
Will any of the Twitter spawn grow .. to generate their own mafias?.. lessons stretching back to #FairchildSemiconductor..

#ITBarons

My feeling is that #ElonMusk is similar #BillGates and other techno rich people. If the railroad generation suffered 'robber barons' mabye we suffer from 'IT barons'. Hundreds of years have passed and we still suffer under a feudalism of corporations. This #fuedalism is run by members of the #YARM club: Yet Another Rich Moron. #Moron in the #RobertMHutchins sense of not thinking.
