Then I use those funds to purchase equipment I need online without ever seeing the money. There is also the 'viral' gossip that companies find so useful which is how I get online preview tickets for all the latest releases, music, etc. The whole point is, it is power to the little people - especially authors. No longer can the print publishers dictate through their nepotistic ideals as is shown through the many writers who have published their work for free download and who have then been picked up my print/film companies. This is the age of the people - where the world is beginning to be run on information and every voice being equal (wikileaks being one of the huge examples) and a big part of me is just holding my breath waiting for a Chinese governmental attitude to slam down on the Western World. I hope it never does. Third world countries are becoming educated away from customs and religion to make informed choices for the good of their health and their reputation, which will only help the levelling of international co-operation. <br />Now, if we could just banish the trolls, haha, we would be schmokin'.

Also interesting what you say about belief, it is true and I never thought about it.<br />I guess what you mean to say about knowledge has to deal more with wisdom than with any other thing. Which is an interesting idea, I have to deepen my thoughts about that. But isn't in the end everything a belief? I don't know. How do you differentiate believing something from knowing something?<br />I agree with what you say in your last paragraph also.<br />In reply to your last question, my answer would be that true knowledge and not in every form do has value, but other things do to.<br /><br />Thanks a lot for your time and such an interesting comment.Mariana Sofferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351209522681966230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423483613129126051.post-60149612143803786072011-01-05T15:43:54.817-08:002011-01-05T15:43:54.817-08:00Janet K:

There are nowadays websites about questions and answers (which are very trendy such as stackoverflow), and they have a reputation sistem for their users, I think that is an interesting solution, well always knowing the background of who the information comes from is a good indicator.<br />Also it is very interesting the idea of what the ultimate reducer of complexity is, I think is brillant.<br />Take care my friend.Mariana Sofferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351209522681966230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2423483613129126051.post-78229989707677566372011-01-03T20:08:38.035-08:002011-01-03T20:08:38.035-08:00Jim Murdoch:
