 Someone explain to me why I’d *want* my emails stored until the end of time. 
 I’d rather they rot and disappear if I made no effort to keep them.
 
 That said, the NSA has a pretty good archive.

Jokes about the NSA's archive of your email are cute and all but they miss the 
point.

The goal is to ensure the survival not of conformity or trivia, but of dissent. 
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a good analogy--storing a hundred million 
seeds of the radiata pine or GMO corn is great if you're Monsanto but somewhat 
less good if you want to ensure genetic diversity.

A purge is coming. First of data, then of users. Distributed, decentralized 
data will survive. Users in countries hostile to American interests will 
(hopefully) also survive.

Plan ahead.

Those of us who do not wish to see an end to art, to science, to all meaningful 
colloquy.

Just imagine, Wiesenthal, that you were arriving in New York, and the people 
asked
you, “How was it in those German concentration camps? What did they do to you?”
[. . .] You would tell the truth to the people in America. That’s right. And 
you know
what would happen, Wiesenthal? [. . .] They wouldn’t believe you. They’d say you
were crazy. Might even put you into a madhouse.

SS-Rottenführer Merz speaking to Simon Wiesenthal, September, 1944


Heil America,
Jens
