#AbolishCopyright. Truth is nature's natural state. It wasn't until symbols were invented that we got lies. But information in the long run likes to settle into true states. Copyright slows down the spread of truth and makes it harder for information to resolve into true states.
When lies have it so easy, you see the catastrophic effects like we did on January 6th.
- vharuck 6y agoI don't follow. Facts aren't covered by copyright, so how do copyright laws hinder their spread? >It wasn't until symbols were invented that we got lies. This is probably a loose slogan, but it's not correct. People used to share greatly embellished stories with oral traditions before written language. Even before spoken language, chances are people deceived one another. Deception only requires recognition that others have different knowledge and a willingness to exploit that.
