First I'd like to point out that Rifkin's "The End of Work" is prior art.
Anyhow, mistrust of government and internationalism are nice buffers for nationalism. Which is good and may promote peace.
Now, if I overclocked my Duron 900 to 1800, my thesis would be ready in half the time? In fact, I could change the running speed simply in the BIOS to be 1200. That would increase my productivity about 30%, right? If I had a better machine right when I started my studies, I'd have gratuated years ago. This is depressing.
I am not American, therefore I have different worries: "foreign" laws do not harrass me, but nowadays I never know when or if Americans, like Gestapo in the olden days, fetch me to a court that is not responsive or responsible to anyone, leaving my loved ones wondering where I am. Mind you, I'm not a terrorist, but if an American somehow gets the idea, there is no way I'll be saved from this lawless court. Perhaps I'm doomed after this post? This man can't be anything but a terrorist? What is he hiding? Let's take him in for torture for a couple of months and see what he's been up to!
