The computer and ARPNet were government (mostly military) created entities but the hippies (via LSD) were the real visionaries of the PC and public Internet. In fact, in the 1970s, corporations would hire hippies to give them guidance based on their (hippies) visions. If I had to guess, I'd say you were a young male who's educated and insightful. He's a website that may suit your interest:

Kurzweilai.net

You probably have been there before.

Thanks for the Web address. Also, its no coincidence that the former bass player from Iron Butterfly ("Inna-Gada-Da-Vida"), now deceased, and Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, former guitarist for Steely Dan and the Doobie Brothers, have both worked as government consultants in the field of rocketry.

I guess acid freaks have a role to play in this field, but just don't put them in charge of checking the O-Rings and making sure the cargo bay doors are closed!

Do you think LSD users would be useful in planning the Locke/Smith corporate utopias ("countries") that I'm proposing?
