Re: If Content Wants To Be Free, How Can I Be Sustainable Robin?
First read: If Content Wants To Be Free, How Can I Be Sustainable Robin?
This is a dilemma that has been perpetuated by patents and associated heavy commercialization of society,
While we can't change things overnight the slow penetration of alternate methods to sustain ourselves are beginning to take root. The problem is the transition.
'Share the wealth', theme of my web site, is an embellishment of my thoughts on this very issue. If only we could just get away from all the control tactics of commercialization and recover our freedoms to engage/share the value we bring from our interests, the world as a whole, should really be able to live up to its true potential. We know a lot more than we are allowed to use...
I try very hard to provide information that will make us self sufficient. Frequently, people ask me to the build some of the devices or create formularys of health products on my web site. However, due to other commitments I am unable to comply or promote this venue. I am sure many build and sell these already without my knowledge thus generating some revenue for others. The point of this is that by making information free we facilitate growth of unprecedented bounds - which I think is what is needed to get away from the stranglehold of the current big business commercial/control paradigm.
Robin's point of providing/adding value to free information is the key, although its hard to see - when one is trying to earn lunch, and not all will have the stomach to do it. For this, at first, dare devils, or those already with sufficient incomes (i.e. retired) and people with alternate incomes (i.e. a job), will need to start the ball rolling.
There are those, greedy and wealthy who will as always try to stifle this effort and we will have to fight to retain it. It has been our misfortune to trust authority (governments, large enterprises - collectively known as industrial military complex) that we are unable to free ourselves. Their game, and they are professionals at it - not like us - mere armatures, is to keep us pregnant and barefoot forever to maintain the status quo.
Robin's Internet Communication Agent Initiative, of which I am a proud member, and other technologies: as was the printing press, and now the resurrection of low cost, simple, effective and safe nutrient/medical procedures and the emerging free energy) which the vested interests are unable to control very well, are our ace. With these and others we will move the yard sticks forward - for that has been the primary chink in their armour and we need to exploit it exponentially.
As always, additional ideas are invited.
Thanks,
Chris Gupta
