@rose @dtluna the Yanks fought, and apparently won, an entire war to get out from under the heel of the boot they still rabidly insist on measuring everything against.
Every healthy economy needs a robust guillotine maintenance and repair industry.
@rose copyright and patent systems need to be challenged, or replaced, with mechanisms which incentivise and reward the sharing of ideas as broadly as practicable, instead of the current sphincters that manifest artificial scarcity.
The technical opinion of anyone who invokes the string ‘cyber’, outside of fiction or jest, should be summarily dismissed.

Every conservative idea is merely a proven and successful progressive idea.

If it requires protection from scrutiny and novel information, it’s stale and should be treated with proportional suspicion.

Progressive ideas are potentially carcinogenic, being manifest from novelty and mutation, but conservative ideas are necrotic.

One facilitates adaptation and resilience within its environment, the other decay and decomposition into its constituent elements.

Either can be toxic at sufficient concentrations.

It is profoundly problematic to perpetuate exposure to an environment which has never been amenable to one’s presence, a flaw which will hopefully be addressed soon.
This isn’t meant to last.
