what on my statement suggested you I m talking about being doing the same things? I'm really tired of this fight, at the same time I can't abandon it definitely. Don't know why. > - but this time with 50% more > javascript or whatever the fad of the day is. ··· part of the reasons: Internet today is harder than before, its almost impossible to navigate, lots of newspapers bloke the navigation unless you take off your add blocker or subscribe to them, the net neutrality is almost lost on the papers, but I see is already lost in fact in different scenarios. Devices are each year more difficult to hack to install them Free Software, and so on. And so on. > I mentioned this before: the problem is not the technology because that > would make a solution easy, the problem is the people. I-do-know-it. But are the ones we have ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Education is not functioning, not on large scales, not even in small scales... i would say is a one-by-one very slowly process. And that doesn't help (again) on situations like huge oppressions, Human Right violations over thousands and millions of people. The heavy pressure of the world order we are living in and the speed of changes (social and technological ones) are going faster than our tiny efforts. > We don't need more implementations or rehashing of the same idea, we > need different ideas and along the way to get there, as you rightfully > suggest, we need education above all. This requires that we call things > by their proper names and not dilly-dally around. I agree on call things by their proper names. I don't know if the solution is to try to implement on school the teaching of PGP (not even on hight school or equivalent): if we are talking on large education is the only massive way. Once you are alone and have to look for the education by yourself very few people do it, and you can't find easily something if you don't even know what you are looking for. It remains me to an spiritual exploration... Tell me how could it be possible to implement a change on educational curricula in favor of freedom of people and I send you a present to any place of the world were you were. People usually learn that technology (and implications of technology, in general) from themselves and as I said above: even on those cases they will be isolated for a long time from their close buddies and co workers and even jobs, because it's not easy or quickly to have the disposition to change. In the end I agree with you: is a sociological problem. And as we know, those kind of problems can't be solved by using force or imposed changes. I only see a light on this path on awakening one person here, other there.. maybe 5 on the other side... until all collapse and then we could have a renovated attitude from our fellow human beings to do something different. I'm apologize about my poor English vocabulary, and about my tiredness. I will not follow (at least today) the discussion on the thread because takes me a lot of time to redact/compose in English.
