I think we’re far too early along to go off on tangents like that, but I’d be lying if I said the thought never occurred to me.

That makes sense. I see Glitch representing a better vision/lens of what tech can be and making that POV tangible would be quite powerful.

I hope we can get there.

Me too.

When you don’t think a serial harasser is immoral, and a dude afraid of plants is dispassionately, precisely logical.
