The society developement evole according to 4 rules:
Add more processors→population increases

car crash is2200 times
higherthan fatality rate
from an flight crash.

11. Core principles of dataism
Embrace the free flow of dataExample: Aaron Swartz’s life for the free will of dataVS
Aaron fought for the right to access JSTOR database.
