Like all crackpots, he thinks outside the box and there's plenty of spark for a more disciplined if limited thinker.
He also does not respect your freedoms:
“The World Wide Web was precisely what we were trying to PREVENT ever-breaking links ... no rights management.”

This guy presents a terrible mickey mouse view of computer history. Apple vs Microsoft in the PUI wars? What the heck. That was just the consumer market, and even there he left out GEM, Intuition etc. etc
And he just downright lies for the rest of it: Interlisp and Smalltalk had no concept of files at all (they were developed at PARC): EVERYTHING was programmable. Shell scripts are a sad stupid joke in comparison.
Also he keeps yelling at the Camera intermittently and It's really annoying.
This guy is a retard.

I take back what I said about "there's plenty of spark for a more disciplined thinker" after watching a few of these I have come to the conclusion that he is malicious or stupid despite every now and then landing a well deserved cheap shot at e.g. Alan Kay.
