Tim Berners-Lee
The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.
Tim Berners-Lee is The Architect in the purest sense: he answers social and ethical problems by rebuilding infrastructure itself. From the universality principle encoded in HTTP to SOLID's protocol-level data sovereignty, he designs systems that structurally embed values rather than trusting behavioural compliance.
“I wanted to be able to put anything on it. The system itself had got to be able to work with anybody, anybody. You should be able to use it for anything.”

“You could make it illegal. The people who make it addictive, they know who they are. They know when they train the AI to stay on the platform. Train it for something else then.”
