"Why have we gotten to the point where we have permitted militaries of various states to use civilian commercial data centers for their military purposes?"
No, you really can go outside any time. Having a kid has reminded me how true that is.
Sure he says he wants to play Minecraft all day, but it turns out, when you force him to do something else… Seeing friends and moving around at soccer practice is also fun. Spending the whole day mountain biking is also fun. Going camping is also fun. Going swimming is also fun. And just about all of these activities lead to feeling more connected to the people you, not less.
Sitting in front of a device will always feel easier, but it is not definitively better, it is not just the way things are now. The modern world does have new things, but it also still has the old things, and many of them are great.
So all that said, I vote blow all the data centers up.
Go to a bar and your neat little cards in your pocket? They won’t work without the internet. The bar will doon run out of tasty drinks because they can’t get deliveries anymore. And go to the bank to get some cash to use? Also fails without the interconnections that run across the internet.
All these twits saying to remove every datacenter are ignorant of the world. Wildly and proudly ignorant.
Or maybe maybe they don’t give a damned? It’s entirely possible for someone to think moving away from the current overly centralized and vulnerable internet based infrastructure is worth whatever damage is done. Personally I don’t want the Internet to die but frankly speaking if every major data center was wiped out and replaced with more localized entity owned ones I wouldn’t complain.
Except you really can’t unless you’re ok being a lonely hermit.

Do try to remember the context of the conversation please.
Go to a bar or some other place where people are social, you’ll find that you can talk to people without using the internet.
