The article is titled Who Speaks for Tech.
Valenti is quoted as saying: "No Kingdom, no empire, no monarchy, no republic will endure unless its citizens are under a canopy of a sturdy moral compact -- and history is replete with the dry bleached bones of prior enterprises that have neglected that lesson".
First, I thought this country was a democracy? Or am I wrong?
Second, the first three examples do not belong in the same league as the last one he cited.
Third, there is a reason those three examples he used have not survived to this day. Because they all were designed to keep the citizens under the thumb of a single ruler that was chosen arbitrarily. Those systems were designed to keep the citizens ignorant, ill and dependant on a welfare system that was distributed as deemed fit by the ruler. Not unlike socialism/communism. Or am I wrong?
Is it my imagination or is Valenti a seriously mentally disturbed indiviudual?
