Pointing people to Lanier as a naysayer isn't playing fair; it just makes the opposition look crazy.

Alas, Turing's Nazi fascism and "death denial" doesn't seem to appeal much to people around here. I figured that the residents would enjoy watching this sort of material.

I can't speak for anyone else but it's Jaron Lanier that doesn't appeal much to me. I barely read to the end of the sentence after seeing his name, I certainly wasn't going to click the link and subject myself to his inane punditry so I have no opinion on the specific content.
