The Open Source Culture Manifesto summarizes my thoughts on the subject: #883698
A couple of tl;dr highlights:
"Open Source Culture represents the simple idea that ideas are free. That information yearns to be free. We acknowledge that copyright laws are unsuitable for a world that’s highly digitized; where content and information are, and should be, abundant and readily available for anyone."
"First mover advantage is the only real intellectual property right. In another sense, bitcoin is the only real intellectual property anyway. It’s the only thing that’s scarce. All the rest of it can be as abundant as we let it be.
"Intellectual property" are, after all, mere ideas and no one can "own" ideas.
Copyright laws are nothing else than an impediment to creativity and a gatekeeper to knowledge. Charging money for information, which in digital form is near-free to store and transfer, might as well be considered a form of usury."
“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”
― Ralph Waldo Emerson
A Stoic Resurrection: #662497
Had a wonderful chance to perform and showcase some of my music at The Barn in Taipa (Northland, New Zealand) this weekend 🤠
"Girl, it's easy to love me now
Would you love me if I was down and out?
Would you still have love for me?"

Some quality Bitcoin rock by these guys 🤠
What makes it even cooler is that they released this album without copyright and shared it with me to feature it on the SATOSH.EE (#784376) website as part of the Open Source Culture initiative. So if you want to download the full album (or individual tracks) in WAV format, feel free to do so: https://satosh.ee/product/mutiny-brewing-sound-money/

Devlin is one of the less known but most talented grime artists and British lyricists IMO. Great to see he's still on it.
"It's becoming habitual
this shit ain't a lyric
It's a bit of a ritual"

"Break up with everything
That you don’t need, don’t need
Throw it into the wind
Throw it into the sea, the sea"

Whether the object (either privilege or a burden) has been taken on voluntarily, earned, gifted or inherited doesn't matter IMO - the idea is that in either case the responsibility to the object lies on the subject. For example - you own a factory with 100 workers. It is a privilege to lead and conduct such a business. At the same time, it is a burden that needs to be carried - the business must be ethical; workers, contractors & partners paid on time, it must be profitable (or at least potentially profitable in the future), etc.
