I loved this, but I'd prefer to advance this part even more: "We believe in a future where creators are supported through solidarity, not scarcity. Where knowledge circulates freely, and value is measured by use, not ownership. Where ideas grow by being shared, not sold." We should just support everyone, no matter what, with no expectations. I'm not naive or bold enough to suggest how to do it, but I know that if that was our "prime directive" based on everything else we've done, this is not a hard thing to accomplish. So, yes, let's push this bullshit "way of life" off a cliff...yesterday. :)
