You don't quite answer your own question, but I enjoyed the article. As someone who is trying to push forward his single-man business, I appreciate this kind of articles which do propose some opportunities that we can choose to pursuit

I second this! I understood that it would be something like that from the context, but I didn't knew what SDR meant until I read the comment above. Great work!

I understand perfectly what you're trying to say here. As someone who published some papers, wrote a simple book, and write software, I really wished I did not have to participate in this market economy and could build things and give

Infinite growth is possible and it is what our societies aim for. But, in its deepest, it is a pseudo-growth, because prices rise, but eventually salaries must eventually rise again to match the prices.. So, in the end, everything gets back

It's a good advice, but not everyone needs to run away from something. Sometimes we just have to face ourselves and do a deep introspection on our lives.. I, for myself, find it really hard sometimes to know how I should run my life, o
