<span class="quot">"'If a drug company ever invents a treatment for something like malaria, it'd be immediately beset by calls to give the drug away. "So they choose never to <a href="work.htm">work</a> in those areas," he <a href="note.htm">note</a>d sympathetically. "The <a href="curr.htm">curr</a>ent incentive system isn’t doing it."<br/>
<br/>
After one scientist asked if Gates would consider open <a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>e <a href="use.htm">use</a>s in health research, the man who <a href="buil.htm">buil</a>t his $280 billion company on the power of intellectual <a href="proper.htm">proper</a>ty bristled.<br/>
<br/>
"There's <a href="free.htm">free</a> software and then there’s open <a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>e," he suggested, noting that Microsoft gives away its software in developing countries. With open <a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>e software, on the other hand, "there is this thing called the <a href="gpl.htm">GPL</a>, which we dis<a href="agree.htm">agree</a> with."<br/>
<br/>
Open <a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>e, he said, creates a license "so that nobody can ever improve the software," he claimed, bemoaning the squandered opportunity for <a href="job.htm">job</a>s and business. <small>(Yes, Linux fans, we're aware of how di<a href="stor.htm">stor</a>ted this definition is.)</small> He went <a href="back.htm">back</a> to the analogy of pharmaceuticals: "I think if you invent drugs, you should be able to charge for them," he said, adding with a shrug: "That may seem radical."<br/>

My favorite line from this Brady Bunch song is "Love and SUN are the same."<br/>

<hr/><span class="date">Apr-22-2008:</span> Posted to <a class="ext" href="http://Blog.P2PFoundation.net/the-trouble-with-ourselves/2008/04/22">http://Blog.P2PFoundation.net/the-trouble-with-ourselves/2008/04/22</a><br/>
<br/>
A friend of mine recently wrote:<br/>
<span class="quot">> At what point did</span><br/>
<span class="quot">> someone say, "let's all get <a href="job.htm">job</a>s, and spend all of our time away from our</span><br/>
<span class="quot">> family just to put a roof over our head that we could just <a href="buil.htm">buil</a>d ourselves? </span><br/>
<span class="quot">> And food on the table that we could have grown ourselves?"</span><br/>
<br/>
Does the word "ourselves" mean:<br/>
1. Each person must fend for themselves in solitary confinement.<br/>
<br/>
2. A group of people <a href="work.htm">work</a>ing together.<br/>
<br/>
If #1 <small>(I doubt it)</small>, then tell me your thoughts on <a href="trad.htm">trad</a>ing <a href="skill.htm">skill</a>s in general.<br/>
<br/>
If #2, then how large can the group become before there is trouble? <br/>
<br/>
In other words, why are humans unable to 'scale' society <small>(a group of people)</small>, and when does the breakdown begin? At what number of humans, or under what conditions does <a href="trad.htm">trad</a>e become a negative instead of a positive?<br/>
<br/>
If we uncover the mechanical failure in our organizing, doesn't it seem likely we could 'fix' that problem and then begin to outcooperate the capitalists?<br/>
<br/>
Are food and shelter <a href="real.htm">real</a>ly as expensive as we are sold? If not, then where is the re<a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>e leak?<br/>

Attempting to setup an alternate form of hosting seems to imply there is something wrong with just buying or <a href="rent.htm">rent</a>ing <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e and tools as people normally do.<br/>
<br/>
I <a href="agree.htm">agree</a> there is a problem.<br/>
<br/>
Could each of you please write your high-level description of that problem?<br/>
<br/>
Try to keep the description 'mechanical' in nature - avoiding emotional terms such as "evil" or "greed".<br/>
<br/>
I find it helps to pretend each human actor is a <a href="compu.htm">compu</a>ter process vying for physical re<a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>es.<br/>
<br/>
In what way are we <small>(the collective processes)</small> failing to <a href="proper.htm">proper</a>ly allocate and schedule those re<a href="sourc.htm">sourc</a>es?<br/>
<br/>
We are not operating anywhere near optimum efficiency, but why? Where or what is the bug in the system?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
<hr/><span class="date">Apr-13-2008:</span> Posted to <a class="ext" href="http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/group/hostingp2pinitiatives/forum/topic/show?id=2003008%3ATopic%3A3043">http://p2pfoundation.ning.com/group/hostingp2pinitiatives/forum/topic/show?id=2003008%3ATopic%3A3043</a><br/>
Cultivating the conditions for meaningful encounters, conversations, <a href="collab.htm">collab</a>orations and innovation requires at least <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e, and probably tools.<br/>
<br/>
My hosting inspiration is in how the "we" can treat <a href="proper.htm">proper</a>ty <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership of some <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e and tools so goals similar to Illich's can surface.<br/>
<br/>
The primary problem I see is how originators that purchase <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e and tools accidentally retain too much control while <a href="new.htm">new</a>comers cannot gain a foothold.<br/>
<br/>
<a href="spac.htm">Spac</a>e and tools have <a href="real.htm">real</a> and re<a href="curr.htm">curr</a>ing <a href="cost.htm">cost</a>s that must be collected from the <a href="part.htm">part</a>icipants in some manner - a kind of 'tax' or '<a href="rent.htm">rent</a>' needed to cover the expenses of operation so hosting can continue.<br/>
<br/>
The solution I <a href="prop.htm">prop</a>ose - to <a href="insur.htm">insur</a>e <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership <i><span class="itlc">flows</span></i> as the organization grows - is to understand all "<a href="pric.htm">pric</a>e above <a href="cost.htm">cost</a>" <small>(or what is commonly called "<a href="profit.htm">profit</a>")</small> is a plea for growth from the <a href="user.htm">user</a> who paid it, and must be handled as an investment from that <a href="user.htm">user</a> toward more <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e and tools.<br/>
<br/>
As those investments <b><span class="bold">vest</span></b> to the <a href="user.htm">user</a> who paid them, <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership of the <a href="spac.htm">spac</a>e and tools needed for effective hosting are shared among the <a href="part.htm">part</a>icipants in a self-balancing manner.<br/>
<br/>
<a href="user.htm">User</a>s who <a href="pay.htm">pay</a> more than <a href="cost.htm">cost</a> slowly gain <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership.<br/>
<a href="user.htm">User</a>s who <a href="pay.htm">pay</a> exactly <a href="cost.htm">cost</a> retain <a href="curr.htm">curr</a>ent <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership.<br/>
<a href="user.htm">User</a>s who <a href="pay.htm">pay</a> less than <a href="cost.htm">cost</a> slowly lose <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership.<br/>
<br/>
Does this seem relevant, or would you say the <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership of hosting facilities is unimportant?<br/>
<br/>
<hr/><span class="date">Apr-12-2008:</span> <a href="work.htm">Work</a> is an investment. <a href="profit.htm">Profit</a> should be an investment. Therefore, <a href="profit.htm">profit</a> is 'captured' <a href="work.htm">work</a>. That captured value is often invested anyway, but does not 'vest' to the actor who paid it. By this we see <a href="profit.htm">profit</a> is the basis of <a href="own.htm">own</a>ership concentration.<br/>
