I'm guessing that idea came from Paul Graham.. let's check him out.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Graham_(programmer)During spring break of his senior year at UVA, Huffman and college roommate Alexis Ohanian[1] drove to Boston, Massachusetts, to attend a lecture[6] delivered by programmer-entrepreneur Paul Graham.[1][7] Huffman and Ohanian talked with Graham after the lecture and he invited them to apply to his startup incubator Y Combinator.[1] Huffman came up with their original idea, My Mobile Menu,[7] which was intended to allow users to order food by SMS.[1][7] The idea was rejected, but Graham asked Huffman and Ohanian to meet him in Boston to pitch another idea for a start-up; it was at this brainstorming session that the idea for what Graham called the "front page of the Internet" was created.[1] Huffman and Ohanian were accepted in Y Combinator's first class.[1][7] Huffman coded the entire site in Lisp.[8][9] He and Ohanian launched Reddit in June 2005, funded by Y Combinator

Long Now Foundation? Uh huh.. https://longnow.org/people/board/sb1/I live in San Francisco and work at Stripe. I grew up in Ireland and previously studied math at MIT. I am on the boards of Stripe and the Long Now Foundation
A long list of board members like Esther Dyson and Brian Eno... AND we're back to elite pedophiles.
I can link that board of futurists to Epstein, Brockman, Gates, the Parvati Foundation and much more... But not today. Time to take a break.
