Last week, John McAfee announced his candidacy for the 2016 God Emperor
of the United States under the new wing of the "Cyber party". Ive
always liked him for the aged hacker that he is, but I never expected
that he would want to play their irrelevant power games of faux politics.

Heres a recent CNN Money interview:

Im just wondering if this is either some kind of play of his own on the
system, if he is just bored to death after being out of the spotlight,
or if he really believes that his candidacy will succeed. I could see
that when he says "I am convinced 100% that I will win" he means
essentially winning is being heard, due to the ripple effect. Im pretty
sure he would rather not have any government, but its strange to see him
invest a lot of money and effort into that which is unfavorable to
cyberspace.

If he got even an unlikely 40% of the vote, would that really make a
huge impact? I dont understand whats expected to be accomplished. 40%
more nonvotes would still be much more meaningful. We need to undo more
than do. Yet, one of the few subjects in common on everyone's mind is
who their next metamaster will be, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton, *
Bush? Ive lost all faith in that they will choose more radical and
experimental lifestyle forks in favor of culture, nostalgia, and fear.
For instance, the first subject that comes up in his candidacy is murder
charges and dui charges. How much does that weigh in the public opinion
against his platform of privacy. freedom, and technology? According to
the Ross example, the scales are already tipped with that.
