Let us raise a generation of all academically successful business drones that will be "beneficial" to society.
After all, what is important is the perfect running of the machine, right ? People dont live for anything else than being a successful part of machine.
Also theres the high possibility that they will start on prozac around mid 30s, but eh, a good price to pay, since they will be academically successful and indispensable parts of the machine.
Yes there are not thousands, but millions of people who distribute their creations by hard work, and what they earn is pathetic compared with their contribution to society. Because, they cant cope up with the big boys.
And yes, striking it big is a success, so is making zillions of dollars, because then you can effect the way things going around the world in many aspects, with your reach, or your money.
"You are beyond hope"
what "beyond" for god's sakes... what i have told you is the situation in the world, and even on the internet, which is the most free and supportive medium for ordinary people. if you fail to see that "selling some number of stuff" is INCOMPARABLE to releasing a single and making zillions of dollars just because you are up with one of the big boys, you yourself are beyond hope.
To install the repression they will need a revolution (or an election). If they run a revolution, we should fight them. If they win an election, it probably is a good idea to get out of there anyway since most people voted for the repression. Would you like to live under Hamas and the people that supported them? (to take a recent example)
So ? Lets wait until they are powerful enough to win an election or mount a revolution, and then "fight" them ? What is the point in this, bloodshed for everyone ? Not only for freemen, but for the ignorant, deceived masses ?
"Whatever you want" includes preaching "End free speach!".
No it does not. An entity cant allow a concept that will threaten very existence within itself, just for the sake of being, and expect to continue to exist. Concepts do not differ, it is again fallacious to let something free to cause destruction of the environment that has let it free.
Then use violence when they use violence, and to supress that violence. If not, you may have useed violence against peacefull people that you were biased against.
It is a much more bigger crime to let the violent to get to the point at which they can use violence, for the rest of the society who want nothing to do with this. And about the thought "you MAY have used violence against peaceful people" - such a thought does not exist. there is no "may" in realizing how violent a preached thought is when the thought contains "demeaning of all who do not join us, or slaughtering of all who oppose us" - they are not peaceful.
And who gets to decide who are repressive and should be repressed?
We, "the people" do. And we are doing it at an increasing rate with every passing decade. However, there are problems hampering it, like your understanding of free speech that it should allow "anything" until they became too dangerous.
Please elaborate me what is "publishing something on the web" without advertising budget, or a few acquintances in some big sites that can get your link included for a long time ?
Let me elaborate for you - it is 40 unique visitors a day after 6 months - it is NOTHING.
At this point, i am more than sure that you will be tempted to give success examples, like "million dollar homepage", citing that "bright ideas, what work, actually attract people".
Nay. This concept is in fact nothing but plain lottery. Its just like "hitting it big" in hollywood - if fate is going to smile on you, it does anyhow. But if it does not, youre just another small fish in the tank and nobody notices you are there.
There are billions of people who are trying to do something on the web, from publishing their own authentic music to trying setting up big-hit websites. Had the web been such an alternative to "being good with the big boys", there would be thousands of new pop-stars, youtubes, googles and so on. But there is not.
What you propose is not only contradictory, but also suicidal.
There ARE definite milestones of freedom. Sheria seems free to whoever lives in it, without knowing any other form of existence, but it is not something that is free once one gets to know what else is out there. apparently you do not know much people who ran away from sheria.
The sentence that says "allowing the preaching of destruction of free speech in the sake of free speech", is contradictory even meaning-wise, grammatically.
EVEN if people are let to preach such horror without usage of guns or violence, if, out of gullibility, or some other unforeseen circumstance people believe in them and they manage to install their repression, there is NO turning back. All the fights mankind have had to give to reach the point we are today will have to be given again, all over.
It is no denying that the human rights concept and freedom of speech are newly en masse around the world, and they have many deficiencies still to be complete. One of these deficiencies is the fallacious tolerance for sources which preach utter destruction of human rights and free speech.
And NEVER ever one should fail to see that, repressive, supressive, rights-ignoring ideas and trends NEVER exist without violence and use of force. They just use ways of democracy and free speech until they have gained enough supporters and power to forcibly impede other's will. This have been always that way in the history of the world. Examples are a many, like the nazi.
It is not concept of free speech, but idiocy to give the repressive sources enough freedom to gain power to impede free speech.
Curiously though, though you may have not been able to perceive, i have education on economics and history sufficient enough to talk on both these topics.
Knowing that mechanics and intricacy discussions end up as endless debates, i prefer to discuss these matters from their broader perspective.
Let me sum up why living standards, gnp, hence cost of labor are higher in "industrialized nations", right from where they started to be higher in world history - beforehand i would like to point out that im neither a communist or socialist :
All these so called "industrialized" nations except japan have come from imperialistic backgrounds, all having colonies to some degree that they could exploit and sell products to.
This, is a situation that boosts economy and innovation, however it is IMBALANCED in world perspective.
Correcting, it is a preferrable situation as long as there is no globalization, the "underdog" countries cant cope up with you, cant sell back, cant compete due to any reason.
At the end of imperialistic era, after the 2 world wars, the rising consciousness of people caused the governments to adopt more humanist policies. This, combined with the nature of free market concepts, have created an increasing amount of openness and opportunities towards and for the other "developing" nations. However, due to the political situation of polarized world, there was still some measure of, supression, if you will, of the "developing" economies - political games, coups, puppet dictators installed, petty regional wars that were stirred by either pole's "secret service"s and so on.
This had been the case until latter 20th century, when rising awareness of the people in matters humane and political and social, and increasing technological development that causes increasing communication and better connectivity between people have further lessened the 'supression', along with rising effectiveness of international organisations like wto, opec and so on.
And, coming of the internet is a final blast on old imperialistic, imbalanced state of economic situations, both between nations and inside the nations.
Hence, the free market is continually leveling out nations, to the point that there will be no nation that "sells more than it buys". This imbalance was the main cause that easy, high living standard life with exceptional pay could be maintained, and as the means to do it are gone now, albeit by psychopatic hard work, it will no longer be the case.
Japan is some nation that stands apart from natural flow of the history of the world, due to their collective social understanding and action. However they are themselves a proof that psychopatic hard work nationwide cant be maintained, judging from the state of japanese youth.
All in all, we are heading towards a world that people will live in standards similar and abundant to each other, and only individuals with great prowess will be the ones that live above those standards.
I have no fear though, given the trend of the technological improvements and standardization of things once thought science-fiction, even lower-than-average standard in future will be something people cant even dream of now.
From what i remember, the problems the current social contract under observation here was already put forward RIGHT at the start of the discussion, and not only with my posts.
Lets say that there is someone who wants to overthrow the democracy and install a dictatorial system, which would include a slave system that would include all layers of the society which was considered un-elite.
Lets say that this person claims that its his/her right to preach and spread his/her views, due to human rights declaration and freedom of speech.
Lets say we imprison this persona, and even from the prison this persona continues to spread his/her "belief" through means available - internet, other means of communications and so on.
What was it that made the labor costs in u.s. to be substantially higher than the rest of the world, at the start of globalization, especially internet globalization then ?
It appears that you have still problems understanding what i am "babbling" about, and have in fact stated what was i telling again, yourself.
Copyright holding by itself is totally meaningless. You can create a phletora of shit, and copyright them, some of them might be revolutionary, but they still might not see the light of day, because in order to sell, you need to be a big boy or have a big boy on your side.
The elite is THEM. The big boys. not the copyright holders. copyright issue, intellectual property are just some tools they use this elite class emulation just like other stuff they use to propel it.
Theres a misjudgment in your first paragraph - it is not the VALUE for humanity that causes their creator to make millions, its today's economic system, moreso its marketing and such inner workings. If you can get to big channels, if you have the connections, you are lucky, you sell big time. If not, well, then it is just a lottery. This is especially true in the case of artists.
Well, first of all i should mention that im not a materialistic person. In fact, you could label me totally the otherwise. who makes millions or not is not my concern, what do they do with their millions, or what does the environment that causes them to be able to gain such money in short notice does to overall civilization, hence our lifestyle is. as for google example, theirs is neither an intellectual proerty right case, or a "did something and made millions without working" case. they have worked and working on still. it was a bad example on your part.
On the contrary, you are the one who cant see the similarity in situation. Spending 1 or 2 years for something, than using it to earn billions of dollars without having to do any further work differs very little from being born into somebody "right".
As for the general concept, "nobles' birth rights", and aristocratic society was believed to be something useful, in fact the only thing usable as a model by then, not only by the aristocracy but also by many of the public and bourgeoise. Many were proposing a model that left the nobles in place, creating a layered society that divided the people in classes, but introduced some form of nobles' assembly and people's assembly.
However there were people who could foresee how beneficial it would be to get rid of all aristocratic reminiscence. And they have succeeded, albeit only for a short duration to the fullest.
However that short duration of success have provided sufficient momentum in the world so that today you and me are not subject to some local lord, and do as we please.
i believe you are one of the people that cant see beyond the easily foreseen.
Do not forget that in turn china and southeastern asia absorbs a whole lot of u.s. products, which are physical and have much more cost to produce and produced by companies that employ many many more people than the entertainment or it sector.
Not only to mention that china is one of the biggest buyer of u.s. government bonds, supporting u.s. government debt.
It is no denying that the hourly cost of labor was and will be the biggest incentive.
and there is no denying that many companies which outsource are either unaware or blatantly ignoring what state and federal law might be in effect to outsourcing in their area. Also theres no denying that most of the companies are willing to undertake such risks, as it helps them escape many legal burdens, whether you label them as labor costs too or not.
Yea, aristocracy was the god-chosen elite who have had the right to hold life or death jurisdiction over the "common" people, and its highest rank was "the king", who held all other as "subjects".
This was a social contract too. If people had listened to such nonsense ideas likewise your quotation points out, and thought of "long term benefits", there would be no french revolution and we would be still people subject to some "local lord" first, then the elite, then the king. Ah not to mention that all the rights and advancements that the previous 2 centuries have brought wouldnt be forthcoming.
Same goes for copyright holding. It is something that emulates a loose group of elitism in the world media, some big people who no one can expect to move into except with a very big smile from fate - same as in the days of old aristocracy.
Again i repeat - NOT all social contracts are beneficial and rightful.
DONT buy ANYTHING that has the word DRM or any resemblance of it in its box, specs, even its rumour.
Teach some particular shit of an organisation type that knowledge and creation belongs to PEOPLE, not some fat white ass morons who are already on their way to the grave from old age.
It would be a world that you could do EVERYTHING with your wrist watch, sunglasses or cellular "communication center". EVERYTHING including computing, music, video, communication, internet, reports, movies, games, networking and more.
Thanks to RIAA, MPAA, and other similar shit, we arent living in such a world.
No. you are leaving out many other factors. Lets examine the setting :
Yes, labor costs in china and india HAVE BEEN phenomenonally lower. They have started to increase as per the supply-demand workings. However, even when they were paranormally low, the civilization-old market concept applied - TOO cheap, low quality. As always, if you wanted to have good work done, you had to choose and pick a contractor that had a reliable record and did good job.
Will the situation change about outsourcing, now the labor costs are on the rise there ?
No.
Because there are many more other factors that encourage outsourcing :
First, HIRING some employee to do in-house jobs is much more costly, and leave aside that, TROUBLESOME legally, as when you sign an employee in it means you have signed under to many regulations, social bills, rights etc that you need to take care about and manage. This is dreadful for companies.
Second, if you hire a local software house to do your job, same goes, signing the contract will mean that you have signed under many state and federal trade laws, regulations and so on. Considering billion dollar lawsuits can be filed in u.s. with pathetically stupid reasons, and surprisingly, won, this is another deterrent.
Third, a local software house or contractor is not so bound to you employment-wise. They/he/she can find other jobs, contracts and so on. Ie - you might be a small fish for them, even if you are not, still, u.s. is a place that enforces good trade practices and business misconduct is much lower. However, a contractor in some country like china, or india, will prefer to do business with u.s. partners. Because they/he/she will know that business misconduct chance is significantly lower in u.s. than locally or regionally. This will make the overseas contractor more bound with its customer, which is another factor for wanting to outsourcing, especially for the small businesses.
and in some other thought, u.s. have always been a country that did trade with developing new stuff, new business systems, methods and such. So, this is no surprise, what you are telling, and if you ask me it seems just normal.
When there was 'no' globalization, united states did not have access to a market that consists of 1 BILLION people - china. Same goes for many other countries united states now does exports to.
If there is no market, there is nobody to sell to. There is no reason to produce, there are NO jobs.
The point is that, japanese and chinese economies became COMPETENT.
united states was the country to lead the world in free market economy once, but then it grew complacent. the importers then became the exporters now.
What you need to do is to compete. By working harder, inventing new business systems and technologies or anything else.
If that is not something for you, sorry matey, you have to cope up with those - in the end, YOU americans brought competition, free market and such concepts to the world arena...
This is your problem if you have not heard about this.
I, myself not only heard of it, but actually have done some number of jobs to companies similar to i gave examples of.
In fact, its not even neccessary to do jobs for, or hear about such companies. ANY google query on particular stuff spawns phletora of results pertaining to very small businesses functioning in that area, locally, and not only in u.s., but all over the world.

Anti-piracy, anti-copy, drm and shit ? This is what vista is all about ?
Why the talk of "stepping up" measures ?
Vista is itself a measure in its entirety. In fact, it is only a measure.

Yea intel people, i mean YOU.
You are fighting AGAINST the people you know ?
And this "the people" is not "people" in like "some and the others" or a socialist, communist obscure concept of "people".
This is THE PEOPLE, like in the declaration of independence, like in french revolution, like in WE ALL.
WE are the people. You are fighting against us.
Please mention a few names of persons or organisations that have fought against the people and won, from any point in history.
Silence ? you got my point i believe.
Yea, aristocracy was the god-chosen elite who have had the right to hold life or death jurisdiction over the "common" people, and its highest rank was "the king", who held all other as "subjects".

Well,
The solution then seems to be leveling out of all the countries, all selling as much as they are buying, and it seems this is where we are headed to.
Globalization works in both ways.
...
When there was 'no' globalization, united states did not have access to a market that consists of 1 BILLION people - china. Same goes for many other countries united states now does exports to.
