Well said. Creating something new of course takes an enormous amount of time and energy. It makes sense that not everyone would be willing or afforded the ability to take on such a task. I agree that removing or lowering any barriers to allow for further, more distributed experimentation would benefit society as a whole.
You win the Internet today as far as I'm concerned.
I wish our culture wasn't so focused on rebooting existing things. People should spend their time creating some new, in their image, and put it out into the world. The fight should be removing barriers for entry.
