 The only truly free will we have is to believe in a creator or not. This is what separates man and jinn from angles and animals.

 I am convinced that information is the ultimate carrot & stick.

As our consciousness evolves and technology advances, it’s becoming clear that people can be guided simply by the information they consume. We’re like bacteria in a gut - part of a system that seems logical, where we believe our actions are driven by free will, but it’s all an illusion. Now, others can pull our strings by manipulating the information we receive.

This is why privacy and cryptography are essential. You should have the ability to process information privately and control what information you share and how you share it with the world.

The more we technologically advance, the more teachings of cypherpunks will grow in importance. And I look forward to witnessing that future unfolding alongside all of you... as we make progress toward the machine civilization.
