> Move the extrinsic cost to the public domain so that we can profit.
> ...whose primary business model is to take public goods and to turn them into private profits
First, those two statements are not at all the same.
Second, what constitutes "extrinsic cost" is subjective. If you go out and feed the homeless for a day, there is an extrinsic cost (to someone, somewhere) of the net sum of your activities. Judging whether or not the extrinsic cost is outweighed by the extrinsic is... Dangerous.
Third, ALL corporations, (private corporations, nonprofits and governments), and all humans (miners, manufacturers, writers, artists) take public goods and turn them into private goods, of course, not all of them profit, either by design or by execution. Taking public goods and turning them into private goods is what it means to transact in society.
