2017-11-26: On the Importance of Borders

The GNU GPL uses Copyright to restrict trade.

This legal device can be thought of as a sort of private Trade Agreement requiring users gain access to the sources of production.

TPP, TIPPS, TRIPS, FTAA, NAFTA, CAFTA, SHAFTA, etc. are Trade Agreements for other reasons...

The IOTA attempts to create a puddle of freedom in the material world.

“I hesitate to exaggerate the importance of this little puddle of freedom,” he says. “Because the more well-known and conventional areas of working for freedom and a better society are tremendously important. I wouldn’t say that free software is as important as they are. It’s the responsibility I undertook, because it dropped in my lap and I saw a way I could do something about it. But, for example, to end police brutality, to end the war on drugs, to end the kinds of racism we still have, to help everyone have a comfortable life, to protect the rights of people who do abortions, to protect us from theocracy, these are tremendously important issues, far more important than what I do. I just wish I knew how to do something about them.”
Once again, Stallman presents his political activity as a function of personal confidence. Given the amount of time it has taken him to develop and hone the free software movement’s core tenets, Stallman is hesitant to believe he can advance the other causes he supports.
“I wish I knew how to make a major difference on those bigger issues, because I would be tremendously proud if I could, but they’re very hard and lots of people who are probably better than I am have been working on them and have gotten only so far,” he says. “But as I see it, while other people were defending against these big visible threats, I saw another threat that was unguarded. And so I went to defend against that threat. It may not be as big a threat, but I was the only one there [to oppose it].”

Chewing a final split end, Stallman suggests paying the check. Before the waiter can take it away, however, Stallman pulls out a white-colored dollar bill and throws it on the pile. The bill looks so clearly counterfeit, I can’t help but pick it up and read it. Sure enough, it did not come from the US Mint. Instead of bearing the image of a George Washington or Abe Lincoln, the bill’s front side bears the image of a cartoon pig. Instead of the United States of America, the banner above the pig reads, “Untied Status of Avarice.” The bill is for zero dollars,[12] and when the waiter picks up the money, Stallman makes sure to tug on his sleeve.

. Make some high level decisions to create the initial layout of this instance.

. Find real estate listings of undeveloped farmland near a 'regular' city.

. Issue IOTAs representing the property and promises we must secure at this scale.

. Sell the IOTAs to workers and other consumers in return for future work or money.
