Julian Assange left in place a last will and testament (of sorts) prior to surrendering to authorities. The legacy extended by this anti-societal pond scum is one of human reduction. When individual conscience is reduced to group consciousness there is something imperceptible which dies within the psyche of man. But the imperceptible is not intangible. Mr. Assange wields group consciousness as warfare. His rage against the world, and possibly against his own existence, causes him to grasp for the souls of other men.
Healthy men step out of the pages of history demonstrating acts of conscience which bade them to seek the common good. But when cults are personality-driven, such as the Cult of Assange, men are reduced to a group consciousness which is ultimately subjugated to the will of their master. Individual conscience sustains society. Group consciousness is always about a cluster F-ck.
Julian Assange is residing in solitary confinement. But in presenting what is petty theft on large scale as legendary prowess he drew to his side other like-minded individuals. Possessing a skill a micron wide and a mile deep - is the world of a hacker. It is a narrowly defined talent but one which can give a tremendous sense of empowerment. Mr. Assange presents himself as godlike and each "anonymous" hacker who joins him becomes part of a pantheon of gods. But is is good to remember the unique quality which sets God above all others. It is wisdom.
