Nifty speech about another anarchic achievement





The internet, conceived by the military as a headless (in Greek, anarchic) network resistant to atomic attack continues to generate powerful anarchically organized entities, and as such is the one of greatest conscious achievements of anarchic thinking. Another example is this speech from a Google scientist about how decentralized "dumb" data sources will dwarf the capabilities of centralized databases like Oracle in the next few years.
