The Bill of Digital Rights and the Man-Machine Rights and Constitution

Over the course of past writings, and throughout future ones, I will create here a Bill of Digital Rights.

This is a small pebble to the grand, communal edifice of our future, one which will aggregate my thoughts, and the principles I have and will develop in my writings.

I believe that we are at a juncture, where we need to preserve our Humanity, in a world of technological, scientific, and social media advances.

We need to build for politicians a safe place to construct the legislations and the social covenant for a new age, one which preserves humans over machines.

So here it goes, with the links to the original posts.

This is work in progress, and many themes may come back in slight variants… carving an always more perfect vision of what I am attempting to accomplish here.

Thank you for your patience with me, as I work on this real time.

After all, one of my themes is to “give time to time”…

If, at the very least, I make my readers and fellow Silicon Valley brethren think about what we are doing, I will be grateful and humbled.
