Because nature has made it so
Because nature has made it so. Nature has made it so you can’t bottle up an idea. It is as free to the culture that developed it, as is the air we breath. For no one has an idea in a vacuum, every idea is built upon a previous one. Generally from someone else. To stop that progress, is to stop societal progress and we have seen through recent history how that results in productivity.
Remember how active and alive the net was before these dinosaurs decided they could make cash out of it? Remember the innovation?
