The average pleb has the memory of a gnat. Our history is not valued or taught in an engaging way so I'm sure few are familiar with blasphemy laws. Rights aren't given, they are defended and technology is the way to fight this stuff. Always happy to read others in tech like DHH getting it.
May be just typology rant, but rights are granted. This is a permission granted by someone. For example I gave you right to enter my home. Liberties aren't from the start, they could be taken off initially by someone and only then granted back. That's why in my school, in constitution of Romania and Moldova is called "rights and liberties of the citizens". And perhaps the name libertarianism. Is there something like that in USA?
