Read my views on how a revolutionary timesaving approach, "cut and paste" has metamorphosed into a fancy synonym for organized knowledge piracy, and on a bigger canvas as a psychological disorder that needs to be checked.

Looking forward to your views.

Hi,

let me remind you this:

http://knowledgeperson.blogspot.com/2006/10/knowledge-money-will-be-yours.html

Since the article is about Knowledge Society let me ask you - can you
name an example of Knowledge Society?

What are the proofs that knowledge is a sort of property if you can't
lose knowledge when someone share it?

Very interesting questions.

 

I haven’t seen or heard of knowledge society, but can imagine one.

 

The question as to if knowledge inequality in an invitation to mass destruction of knowledge is an important one. I believe it is true. There are saying in Indian languages that in a society of blind men, a man who can see a little becomes the king, but I have seen evidence to the contrary. In a company of mediocre people, a smart man promptly gets outcast.

 

A group of second rate folks never accept a first rate person as a team member leave alone as a king.

 

To say knowledge is something that does not get destroyed even if you share it is to say you don’t loose it. But you certainly loose the advantage of a unique person having the knowledge

Good said. But I don't see a problem here :) - the group of second
rate folks will remain the group of second rate folks.

Yes, if nobody develops the knowledge. Different people can develop it
in different ways (it's like branches of tree), i.e. every person is
unique, I think.

I see another problem here - corporations appropriate copyright, pay
for the time spent and therefore can't get and use all the possible
knowledge as possible organizational centers of networks of
developers, producers, customers, public ... and profit from that. But
it's their problem.
