They don't need to pay me for it. If they've taken it without diminishing me, they're free to go about their business and I'm free to spend time with my family, living off the bounty of a richer society.
(Your original description sounds an awful lot like the goal of open source, is what I'm saying. The infinite replicability and liquid scalability of software makes it hard to apply industrial-age metaphors to it ;) ).
- danharaj 11y agoOh, I see what you're getting at. What I was getting at, though, is that you wouldn't live off of the bounty of that society. Only owners of capital get to live off the bounty of their capital. Everyone else has to sell themselves to capital. If they don't need you though, why would they bother? They would just throw you away. Capitalism is a hell of a drug.
