as for emptying the words "harass" and "terrorise" of any serious meaning - i'm not even gonna go there :|
Yeah, for someone who's supposed to be intelligent, Cory Doctorow can be stupidly hyperbolic.
Personally, I think the dude's reputation is based mostly on self-promotion, and he can be a snippy little bitch. But he gets props from lots of people I do have time for. Plus the Guardian keep letting him write articles about DRM and copyright, which to be fair is a subject where he does have a lot of interesting things to say.

Actually he thought people should be ruled by a philosopher king whose chief qualities would be wisdom and benevolence and would be someone who lived a modest life.

correct. i was extrapolating somewhat. and plato is using his claim about tyrants arising from democracy to discredit democracy as an idea, not to defend it against a potential threat

not sure lawrence krauss was alert to that

To be fair he did believe that a philosopher king would be guided by truth rather than through greed.

Not a bad shout tbh, in a world where monarchies are the norm. Could lead to the whole 'for greater good' scenario though.

On Monday, the Washington Post dropped some leaked details of Drumpf’s discussion with Sergei and Sergey. Citing “current and former U.S. officials,” the Post said that Drumpf had divulged “highly classified information” to the two Russian officials, and thereby “jeopardized a critical source of intelligence on the Islamic State.”

One source told the Post that Drumpf had “revealed more information to the Russian ambassador than we have shared with our own allies.”

Communications staff and senior staffers at the White House were literally “hiding in offices,” according to a senior Drumpf aide, as a gaggle of White House press stormed White House hallways just after the Washington Post story broke on Monday evening.
LOL what an idiot.

He has all the best sources, sources you've never heard of. Tremendous sources. Hes only here to ridicule with faux superiority though, don't expect actual substance. There is a reason 95% of the remaining members have him blocked.
