The Most Famous Blogger in the World Started on Youse-net
About this episode
I talked about Usenet (and, incredibly, mispronounced it), elitism, and the lost civilizations of the Internet with the most famous blogger in the world.
I’m not one of his readers, but I feel like I understand him a lot better after hearing him talk about the Internet. After this conversation, I’m left wondering… do we need to govern the Internet, as though it were a physical place?
(I also wish I asked him about his galaxy of other projects.)
