Expanding my ADHD (the H is for hypertext) with this 2-hour conversation, and especially the podcast endnotes. Whole roundhouse full of trains of thought, from "I studied literature and rhetoric at Berkeley", to inside-the-Googlezon, AI, security, privacy, the DOD, the EU, the challenge of not being evil, etc. As the New River Train 🎵 song says, "darling, you can't love one..." I really need to put new strings on a tiple and multiple mandolins and guitars.

LNP504 The politics of intellectual shame
A discussion with Meredith Whittaker For this episode we made an exception and decided to record an interview in English. We are talking to Meredith Whittaker, president of the Signal Foundation, a non-profit company that's developing the Signal app that is world's most popular Multiplatform private encrypted messenger system. We talk to Meredith about her way into the digital realm, how she shook up Google by organizing walkouts and more or less erasing all memories to it's "don't be evil" motto, how Signal came to be and what its principles are, how she views Europe and the regulations policies of the EU and much much more.
