Easy to dismiss him because of his wealth or other prejudices you may have of him. "Free America Now" raises an incredibly important debate that all lockdown-ridden countries should be having. Were lockdowns constitutional? Were lockdowns effective? Could other measured responses have achieved similar outcomes?

Were lockdowns done in vain? And have we set a dangerous precedent?

Bunch of questions. Don't flame him or me. Just participate in the debate.

Lockdowns were the wrong solution, imo. I think we've underestimated the spread pre-lockdown and the spread during lockdown (grocery stores etc.). We'll know once broad antibody tests are administered. But if the virus has already spread to 30, 40, heck 50 percent of the population, then what the heck are we doing in lockdown...

There is also the likelihood of this virus to have already infected a large % of the population. Antibody tests will confirm that.

Audio/video chat is atrocious for relationship building.

- There's the speed of sound/light delay. - You lose all the physiological feedback: Body language, tone, facial expression. - The barrier to start a conversation is way higher too. Some would argue that is good. - You cannot go for a walk with a peer.

Yes. We don't have the means to know so. Just like fish in the ocean don't know we exist, but we know they exist.

Who pays for the "free remote data storage"? And who writes the software for the cell phone mesh network?

Who authors and maintains this software? And what is their incentive?

How does the layperson know how to set up a node? And, care to.

This. And who will constitute these 1000's of decentralized nodes?
