News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

I disagree. Brewster demonstrated real courage.

The world locked down u necessarily precisely because the population has not been getting smarter the past 50 years because copyright has poisoned our information wells.

This is a fight worth having.

It's time to abolish copyright.

We are communicating on a tech stack that TBL gave away freely.

Copyright is communism, it is the exact opposite of property rights.

Don't take my word for it: do the math yourself.

Or just repeat false slogans.

Copyright is literally the opposite of property rights.

Just because people call it "property rights" does not make it true.

It's as false a term as calling the events of 1939-1945 "World Peace 2".

How does it work?

These also could be explained by someone entering hypomania. How would you distinguish stuck/unstuck from depressed/hypomanic?

This is a natural conseqence of copyright law. It is hard for local talent to compete against unnatural monopolies. We subsidized mass produced media at the expense of decentralized talent.

Information can harm as well as help.

There are infinite more combinations of harmful information than helpful information.

Copyright subsidizes harmful information.

Helpful information is boring, like birth registries and government scientific databases, but improves society.

We want understandings of cancer and metabolism. We get superhero movies and other grandiose fantasies harmful to mental health.
