    i’d like to be a labor leader, but i’m not (yet). Yet here’s my opinion:

    Knowledge was meant to be free since the beginning. I look at ideas as human-cultivated, carefully cultured viruses. They’re packages of information that live within a host.

    They’re a lot less aggressive than their feral counterparts, but they’re still individual beings who want to spread. Holding back knowledge is unnatural, and the internet should be free.

      Yeah, the odds are really stacked against businesses when it comes to sharing information.

      The fact they’ve been able to keep such a stranglehold on it for so long is really a testament to how much excess power they have over our societies.

      Future generations are laughing at us, and rightfully so.
