I too believe that our civilization should be build on free software and I think the best existing financing solution is crowdfunding. The idea is based on free market capitalism and while it has been around for a while we now know that it

My personally theory is, that this development has been going on for thousands of years. As we find better ways to deliver messages, e.g. horses, pigeons, telegraph, telephone, eMail, twitter, our time horizon has apparently been shrinking

So, obviously you are right and this is an issue with any platform. But I do wonder if there was a better way. Couldn't you in many cases offer these people a job at the company? I mean, I guess Unity is hiring a lot anyway.

That was you? I just saw the cover yesterday and thought "Who the hell made this cover?". I suppose it wasn't you but the editors who picked it. But your name is still associated with it. Here is my problem with this cover .

Fair point. But again, even if you are not a party, your political movement will have to overcome a lot of major problems. I wouldn't count money as one of them.

One place to look for that discussion is Switzerland. They collected over 130,000 signatures on a law proposal for basic income. So now there will be a direct vote on it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_income#Switze
