I don't see patents as critical to the masses. Look at Germany - they are trying to abolish software patents altogether (src: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/06/german-parliament-says...). I am worried that regular people will be the ones enslaving us all. Will Iceland become some kind of freedom haven? Will people migrate to seateds instead to create a waterworld of the future? I'm very disheartened by the present: I would like to do something, but can't figure out what to push towards.
