So let me get this straight
there's an entire community gathered around the idea that the stock market is manipulated by rich frickers
and they want to create a new stock market but with more open exchange or whatever
and the first thing someone says is "it has been patented in the US"
the solution to the system isn't the application of the system on new technology, or new technology being applied within the old system
because the system just recuperates the form of change and makes it into its own resemblance: a dude patents some ideas and now no one can build the new thing
BUT THEN
the people rally around how rich this dude is going to be!
This patent is worth literal diamonds. Entire diamond mines worth.
this is our nature as humans, to bear witness to how many of us lick the boot thinking it will someday be on their feet
or I guess as long as the boot changes feet that will suffice
heck there's something to be said for that
but remember the conundrum Robespierre faced.
