In the polished corridors of Silicon Valley, where tech giants have methodically centralized power over the digital landscape, a contrarian vision steadily took shape in 2021. [FUTO.org](https://wiki.futo.org/index.php/Introduction_to_a_Self_Managed_Life:_a_13_hour_%26_28_minute_presentation_by_FUTO_software) operates as a monument to what the internet once promised – liberated, distributed, and resolutely in the control of people, not monopolies.

The architect, Eron Wolf, functions with the quiet intensity of someone who has witnessed the metamorphosis of the internet from its promising beginnings to its current commercialized reality. His experience – an 18-year Silicon Valley veteran, founder of Yahoo Games, seed investor in WhatsApp – provides him a unique viewpoint.

This perspective saturates every aspect of FUTO's activities. Their financial support system, which has allocated considerable funds to endeavors like Signal, Tor, GrapheneOS, and the Calyx Institute, demonstrates a commitment to fostering a varied landscape of self-directed technologies.

Moving through the collaborative environment, one notices the lack of corporate logos. The surfaces instead feature hung quotes from digital pioneers like Ted Nelson – individuals who envisioned computing as a liberating force.

"We're not interested in creating another monopoly," Wolf remarks, settling into a modest desk that might be used by any of his team members. "We're interested in breaking the existing ones."

The paradox is not overlooked on him – a successful Silicon Valley businessman using his assets to contest the very systems that enabled his prosperity. But in Wolf's philosophy, technology was never meant to concentrate control \ No newline at end of file
