1/8 Mr. Assange's ideas
It is from the world of physics that their greatest intellectual references seem to emerge. In the interview with Obrist, he begins by explaining his intellectual relationship with physicists such as Werner Heisenberg & Niels Bohr.
“I developed an analogy

2/8 to explain how information flows around the world to cause certain actions. If we want another state for a more just world, the question is, what kind of actions produce a fairer world? What kind of information flow leads to these actions? & then where do these streams come

”

3/8 from ?Accessible information in the world is one of the most recurring points of Julian's thinking & it is from here that he says he has developed an analogy where the principles of his great creation, Wikileaks, are already glimpsed. Assange fosters his idea on the

4/8 assumption that there is not enough information in the world for us to really understand.

4 the activist, there are 3 types of story.The first type has to do with process knowledge, how to make a water pump or a plumbing system, & it remains available thanks to its economic

5/8 nterest. The second is, for example, books, which can no longer be edited by scarce the information contained therein. The third is, of course, the one you care about the most - the information that is being voluntarily hidden, which is important to hide. Assange makes

6/8 information his main cause by considering that a more civilized world is made of mutual understanding and that only by knowing as much as possible can we achieve this status.

Moreover, it is this dichotomy between individual & institution that is the most common in Assange,

7/8 as opposed to the expected left / right. Julian, during the interview, also rejects the idea of having a political position, redirecting her to talk about political temperament which in her case says oscillates between libertarianism and understanding.
