|content=As a PhD, I don't often have thoughts of total revolution. But when I do, they revolve around extractive scientific publishing companies, charging taxpayers for access to their own tax funded research and the cowardly sons of bitches at the top of MIT who got '''Aaron Swartz''' killed.

|content=On this day 8 years ago '''Aaron Swartz''' was permanently taken off the chessboard by MIT and, in so doing, ceased to be MIT. 

They were the best and I miss them both:

|content=In particluar, there's no excuse for '''Aaron Swartz''' not to be projected on to the Buildings all around MIT to haunt it as a constant message not to f**k with the technical talent pipeline that still makes the United States the world's big dog rather than the sheep it's becoming.

|content=Protesters who are not making use of Projection Mapping make little to no sense to me.

The ability to use Iconic Buildings and natural formations to video animated messages without leaving any physical damage from your photonic graffiti while demonstrating your prowess is huge.

|content=There may be much to protest shortly and for some time as we progressively lose the ability to speak to each other digitally. A thought.

|content=Do not destroy when with slightly more work you can inspire and do so at scale. You have the tools to show that you can create while others in control only know how to loot, intimidate and destroy. Imagine how many of our leaders even know what this is...let alone how it is done.

|content=When engaged in responsible civil disobedience against brick and mortar institutions, a move to full projection mapping animations will put this display on steroids. It communicates that that the power differential is in favor of those with courage, ability and ideas.

|content=We’ve been busy projecting messages in New York City. We took @TheDissidentMov to the Statue of Liberty and called for #JusticeForJamal Khashoggi. We also sent messages to #SaudiArabia's associates @GoldmanSachs @KPMG @CreditSuisse. Why are they attending #FIINeoRenaissance?

|content=In a certain sense, that is the main through-line of my politics. Any institution that gaslights an ordinary human trying to make sense of the world in a reasonable fashion is wrong to me in a particularly profound way.

Don’t know how to describe this as a political perspective.

|content=You can recover a surprising amount from just one simple statement: UAP, public health, standardized testing, immigration, mortgage backed securities, crypto, inflation methodology, String Theory, '''Aaron Swartz''', Etc.

“Institutions do not have the right to gaslight individuals.”

|content='''Aaron Swartz''' was who we are supposed to be. A personal hero to me.

And it is time for the Swartz Building at MIT. '''MIT needs a building named for Aaron'''. It needs to be a reminder that at MIT we celebrate the rule breakers for good. We don’t hunt them.

How about now. Now would be perfect.
