The history with an open and free for all internet that we have enjoyed does inspire me, it is somewhat amazing in retrospect that it was so, despite not having an international organization to defend these principles.

The fact that it happened, perhaps due to those ideas of freedom to share knowledge and connect with each other over wast distances and boundaries, makes me believe it will happen again, in another form.

We will find each other, just like we did on bbs, irc and in various in-game chats and forums, perhaps next time in a field of ciphers, stenography and darknets, small lights of communities will spring up.

Next stop, hyperboria.
