[ExI] Wikileaks

[The Avantguardian]

I find it strange that in all this discussion, nobody has brought up the 
fact that Julian Assange was once a member of this list. Doesn't anybody else 
remember him? I have old list emails in my inbox from him debating the nature of 
probability with Eliezer, Serafino, and John Clark. He has also posted on the 
nature of consciousness/identity and Kurzweil. Most of these posts date from 
2005.

In an age where government is groping into our underpants, I think Julian is a 
courageous hero. He is helping make the transparent society cut both ways and I 
think that is a noble a calling as any. Why should the government get privacy 
and secrecy, if the people the government exists to serve are not entitled to 
it? I am shocked that you all would be so apathetic toward one of our own 
becoming one of the most wanted men on the planet for no more than giving people 
access to the *truth* about their governments
