That's a bit like saying you're less concerned about being waste-deep in a tarpit and more concerned about the prospect of your arms getting stuck. The analogy

That's a bit like saying you're less concerned about being waste-deep in a tarpit and more concerned about the prospect of your arms getting stuck. The analogy is especially apt because if you think of web/net commons actually replaces free physical assembly (rather than augmenting it), then you can be convinced to give up your freedom of web/net assembly when whatever next new digital shift comes along. (E.g., not terribly concerned about my arms stuck in the tarpit because my head is connected directly to the VR meshnet...) edit: clarification another edit: typo
