1945. The Use of Knowledge
in Society
@johnnyryan
We cannot expect that this problem will be solved by first communicating all this knowledge to a central board which, after integrating all knowledge, issues its orders. We must solve it by some form of decentralisation.

This is my 7th presidential campaign. ... You’re supposed to have strong ... command over everything in the organization.... I’ve worked with enough tech involving the Net to know that you will absolutely suffocate anything that you’re trying to do on the Internet by trying to command and control it. It’s hard to let go, but you know, we’ve decided that’s what we were going to do.
