_Through our over-dependence on undependable things, we have created the conditions such that any outlier can have a profound impact on public safety, liberties, economic & (inter)national security.
_ Our choices define us. In our 25th hacker pilgrimage to Vegas, the time has come for us to make some hard choices: what we choose to celebrate, condemn, tolerate... and our choices have escalating consequences. We must choose who we will be, the roles we will play, the priorities & principles we will promote, how we will treat each other, and how we will engage the outside world.
We all need to be better. To do so, we must confront some of our daemons, challenge & open ourselves to new models, find and empower new teammates, and be willing to experiment.
