Would anyone be open to talking me through openclaw and if I as a non-coder would have any uses for it?

fair point. but consider: few could read PGP source code either. didn't matter. the tool still worked for everyone. open source isn't about everyone auditing it. it's about: 1. anyone CAN audit it (trust but verify) 2. no single entity controls it 3. forks are possible if devs go rogue closed sou...

You’re absolutely right. But it’s in everything now for better or worse. So I don’t think it matters, not in a nihilistic way. Just that we might need to think there might be other solutions, if we’re creative enough.

The knowledge curve gap is too large for the basic individual so they will never join. Can we figure out a way to ease in the liberation and then scale the difficulty once more are “on”.

But then that in of itself becomes its own cave at some point in time. Any ideology seems to at some point eat itself. Is that a problem for around 2140?
