"The reason Microsoft is such a blight and cancer on humanity is because of intellectual property laws granting them all of these monopolies. If this cancer was not allowed to grow we'd have an amazing ecosystem of open source operating systems all over the world. Bill Gates would not be out there worth hundreds of billions of dollars experimenting with making profits and killing people with untried therapies and just basically being unleashed in the world with all of his crazy ideas. we'd have very different world if we didn't have this" - nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

"If you really want to find these examples of common carriers or whatever it is abusing their position you will always find STATE PRIVILEDGE AT THE SOURCE. They get away with it because of STATE PRIVILEDGE" - nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak

I would strongly recommend everyone listening to Saifedean recent podcast with Saylor (Conceived in Liberty Part 2).

nostr:npub1gdu7w6l6w65qhrdeaf6eyywepwe7v7ezqtugsrxy7hl7ypjsvxksd76nak and nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m disagreed on couple of things in this podcast and I know lot of people took side of Saylor but I willl take Saifedean side since I liked some of the Saifedean's arguments more than Saylor's.

Long story short, this podcast would be perfect example of how two people should talk through disagreement. This is what I love about #Bitcoin community where two people with completely different opinion can talk with each other and come to the conclusion. #Bitcoin

It seems Saylor knows almost nothing about Linux and open source.

Yup.

IP laws need to be given the anorexia treatment until they have been withered down to match a free market dynamic grounded in voluntary consent.

If far-reaching IP laws are allowed to exist, the result is a 1984 society where government + corporate surveillance and control reaches everywhere. The regulatory society is the surveillance society. Every regulation results in mechanisms to enforce it, hence totalitarianism.

Intellectual property rights are a part of property rights and should primarily be arbited via reputation. Engage in fraudulent behavior and your reputation will suffer accordingly.

Courts will be corrupted in a 1984 society and in a moneyprinting society the regular person often can't afford going to court, so we are left with reputational arbiting regardless which type of society we live in.
