"Having said that, one must remember to 饮水思源。"to recognise where one has come from originally." It's okay not to cloud one's judgement with a bias towards Linden Lab, but a little nostalgia and recognition is due."

Let me make myself clearer.

Linden Labs are great visionaries, and alright programmers. The SL codebase isn't the greatest, but remembering that (for example) LSL was created in one single night - that's kinda impressive.

HOWEVER, Linden Labs lack the qualities needed to RUN and LEAD the virtual world. Something I hope this new grid will do a much better job at.

http://www.fudco.com/chip/lessons.html makes it clear that beyond generalities, NOBODY is qualified to do so. the only thing that will seriously get us into the future of cyberspace is a morass of people bumbling around, with the occasional foot-stomping and fingers up your nose it implies.

there are also other aspects that that early paper addresses briefly. it makes for good readingif you're into metaversal studies.
