@cruxcatalyst They are aware of everything - they are too ball-less to admit it, and to look the people in the fucking eye.

Saw the SOPA/PIPA video by this man today, found this video afterwards. This is exactly why the internet is so great :)

@gusphraba And maybe someone else too - just because not everyone needs something doesn't mean that if just one programs something for himself isn't needed from someone else too which can't program in fact that person which can't program won't have a solution EVER because no big group of people needs what he needs~ (I'm thinking about wordpress plugins right now)

@rocaho001 Don't be silly.

Down with groups-up with individuals, always.

We need more Thomas Jeffersons, n'est-ce pas?

Looking at it another way ......... the way we value the effort of the top twenty is reduced because the cost of collaborative structure is so low ......... that it's changing the economic structure we have now ......... the present structure makes less and less sense ..........
