The guy (Greg Locke) this report is about is awful and has been all over the news, local and National. He’s part of a small church, but he’s not trying to help. He’s purposefully breeding fear and hate. He’s hosting book burnings and calling people witches.

Also, the guy they’re talking about, Greg Locke, has been all over the news lately for all sorts of insanity —in addition to stating that democrats can’t be Christians, he’s hosted book burning events and called out people as witches. And then there’s the tax thing.

Oh, men bleed on things. The bleeding just has different medical implications. …

Seriously.

“First, look at the whole piece. It was a thing for the Times magazine's 100th anniversary, written as if by someone looking back from 2098, so the point was to be fun and provocative, not to engage in careful forecasting; I mean, there are lines in there about St. Petersburg having more skyscrapers than New York, which was not a prediction, just a thought-provoker.
But the main point is that I don't claim any special expertise in technology -- I almost never make technological forecasts, and the only reason there was stuff like that in the 98 piece was because the assignment required that I do that sort of thing. The issues about Bitcoin, however, are not technological! Everyone agrees that it's technically very sweet. But does it work as money? That's a very different kind of question.
And the fact that people are throwing around my 98 quote actually shows that they don't get this point -- that they're confusing technology with monetary economics.”
