Just explained to my wife who Peter Thiel is, why I don't use Paypal any more, and what #TESCREAL means.

She asked if I was falling prey to disinformation campaigns.

Which, I suppose, is fair. For anyone outside the #tech bubble, this must all sound like wild technobabble and Huxley / Orwell / @pluralistic ravings.

We have to tell this story in a way that people for whom the internet might as well be magic can understand.

That's not going to be easy.
