I like this guy. He's wrong about a few things of course, like Freud, but on the whole, he makes better than good sense.

He seems to believe a little strongly in the superiority of the current American system. He doesn't look at its flaws much. On the other hand, he's dead right about the necessity of free information flow. You can see it in ancient Greece, in the Golden Age of Islam, in Chinese dynastic history, etc. I just hope that we hold on to that tradition.
