I get Warren’s newsletter but didn’t notice a link to audio of a speech or did you mean his essay?

Ah, I see what you mean.

To clarify: The essay at the end of ORBITAL OPERATIONS was the text of Warren’s speech.

Ok. I listened to this all the way through, and unless I misunderstood what he is saying did he just endorse donald trump, the former president bush and micro$oft? And also use orwellian doublespeak like “conservatives are liberals”?

Sterling is a futurist. And in the future, some of our present distinctions will seem petty or irrelevant or quaint.
