I’d love it if they found someone and it turns out he’s a bit of a dick with no social skills or awareness (Intelligence is a broad term)! Mind you maybe they don’t care because they’re recruiting for a specific position. At first I thought gouvernement, I’m nearly done watching but it now seems it could be one of these alt movements.

What I found interesting with the book is that they were possibly influenced by Jung’s Red Book (Liber Novus).

that was something the video didn't mention, the choice of literature... ralph waldo emerson... other stuff like that. there are so many books to choose from and there's an obvious theme to their choices, and that theme fits the cypherpunk kru fing.
it's not him but he's the sort i'm picturing

v interesting with the construction of puzzles, i remember when the second one was going on, didn't really follow it tho.
like all of these internet mysteries it'll no doubt be a disappointing conclusion (a FSF privacy first software development company with big ideas but no financial backing is my guess) but at least it's not an ARG for some hip movie or awful vaporwave album or something.

I still find the “search for the most intelligent” idea a bit far fetched. This is clearly mostly suited to find people who understand cryptography on a high level, who have similar ideals, and who can code and write software. The target they’re looking for is the key really: they want someone who can write crazy good encryption stuff, and not the most “intelligent” people out there. A bit cocky really. I guess they fancy themselves quite a bit.
Still, for, what I understand, I agree with what “they’re” fighting for.
