“Neanderthal” philosophy - well... Rumours have it, the methods between the both of them are more 21st century.

In contrast, the left-wing fantasy ideology that we can make the rich give us all the free stuff we can possibly consume is more modern.

Lessig is Google's shill. They funded his law center to the tune of $11M so can carry on about "corruption" while advocating for their corporate interests. He's America's greatest living charlatan.

The ad hominem gets a little tiring. It masks harder arguments to deal with - stuff that is gray, not black- and-white. It seems to me that the underlying group/event which spurred this posting has thrived on creating the black-and-white to stir up the troops. Gray arguments don't fit that bill; they confuse the rank-and-file.

Sure, innovation at the edges is good. But the answer toward broadband deployment remains much more nuanced - and interdependent - than let on to by Larry's not-so bon mots.

"Neanderthal philosophy" isn't the best phrasing, since it's not really ancient, and brutish isn't the main aspect. I suggest "right-wing fantasy ideology" as more apropos.
