  JZ's thesis goes roughly that the Net is in danger: the openness that allowed it to flourish sows the seeds of its closure.

  • JZ's impassioned cry in the face of all these attempts to move problems into  the realm of authority is to ``give communities a chance''. JZ's view of the  future of the Internet is that it will continue to be assailed by ills of  various sorts, from malware to business interests protecting their old way of  making bacon. If at every turn we acquiesce and allow the top-down ``solution'',  the Internet will have demonstrated its ``self-closing'' property: the open  system that shut itself down.

     

    So there's a real weight on the shoulders of the communitarians! The anarchy  of the bottom right does not produce much order beyond the small-scale, and is  largely parasitic on other orders. Can communities really counter a  whole-sale reversion to macro-authority?
