Can we please go back to a time when psychos like this guy were largely irrelevant?

I hate the internet sometimes.

They were more numerous and loud when they were largely irrelevant.

But the times were nice, yes.

But - I've looked for Urbit and it's interesting. It's very close to what I'd consider useful.

IMHO a p2p system of the future should work as one user group being one democratically controlled system (like OS with its resources and entities) with computation and storage distributed between member nodes. The reason I'm not too interested in that idea is that it's about global Internet and global availability. Today delay-tolerant offline-enabled applications seem more historically relevant.
