Folks to me a decade ago: Aral, what’s all this tinfoil-hat stuff about Silicon Valley? You’re being alarmist! What’s the worst that could happen? Etc., etc.

> Some people are like “oh, but isn’t it terrible to celebrate the power of weapons?” and I say, you know what, societies have always needed a warrior class that is enthused and excited about enacting violence on others in pursuit of good aims.

We need people who are willing to fight for our country—and I’m not doing that directly, my life’s not on the line. But you need people like me who are sick in that way and don’t lose any sleep making tools of violence
