It's not about stopping change, it's about a blithe, uncaring attitude about how it affects other people, along with empty assurances of UBI and abundance that we are unlikely to see / distribute broadly. People expect to get shafted and I don't blame them for worrying when you look what happened to the Rust Belt, coal miners in Appalachia, etc. IP can hurt or help depending on the industry - how do you enable R&D-heavy industries like pharma to recoup costs over time without something like this? I don't see how you incentivize innovation without the concept but I'm open to reforms like not resetting patent timelines for minor tweaks, etc.
