we know something about the world. We’re not kind of drifting through it blind. And therefore, processes which result in human beings knowing more about the world, I support. It doesn’t mean that in every single instance that I necessarily agree, but I think that principle is very important. It’s so important I think it is probably the most important thing that human beings do. Because if human beings aren’t communicating with each other, teaching each other about how the world really works, we’re like rabbits or stones or something, and

everything fails. So when an individual, whatever their motivation, helps contribute to the advancement of human civilization by providing it information that allows all of us to understand what’s really going on, then I think we should encourage that. And we should encourage it by applauding those people for helping us. We should encourage it by offering them financial rewards in some cases. We should encourage it by defending them from prosecution. We should encourage it by changing the law to make it easier for them.
