I've said elsewhere that I've felt for some time a disconnect between Dan's words, such as tweets, and the products at the end of the line. I dunno why.
One thing occurs to me is that removing dependencies is not the same as freedom! In the sense that absolute freedom gives also the right to impose upon others - I have the freedom to tell you what to do, you also have the freedom to refuse. That isn't quite right, is it?!
Re EMFs... yep, their dangers have been known since at least the 1950s, with lots of published research around radar and then extending into microwaves. We are bioelectromagnetic creatures, so to think they have no effect on us is deeply stupid. Sticking a radio transmitter in one's ear has to be up there with sawing off the branch one is sitting on. Brain damage is incurable.
