You seem to have given up. We need to ask for less and do more in the name of bringing this vision to reality. Its not over yet.

This looks hopelessly naive now. Programmers need to eat. Cyberspace runs on physical electricity and data centers. Communication requires physical cables and/or physical transmitters and receivers. Chips are manufactured in a physical location. You need a physical place to live. Your kids need schools and playgrounds.
The past 10 years if not longer have driven home the physicality of “cyberspace”.
