Hey people. I'm starting this thread in relation to this:

 I think the flow of information is a MASSIVE issue that is not beeing discussed enough.

So, do you think the flow of information should be totaly unrestricted? Or do you believe there should be laws that protect people from malicious use.

Personaly I would like to see fully unrestricted flow of information one day, but i think that a sudden change in the way we currently manage it could be catastrophical. I believe an good order of abolishing restrictions would be to

a) abolish all copiright and intelectual property laws.
b) make all bank transactions available online
c) enforce transparency in bussinesses and states by forcing them to release all info they manage - including all their financial info.
d) allow some 20 years for the world to digest itself

Please feel free to attack my point of view and add your own. Scepticism is a bless...

let me say why your an idiot for each step you mentioned


a) abolish all copiright and intelectual property laws.
omg your a fucking idiot. if thier is no copyright laws people have no motivation to share how things are done.this protects people inventions so they can benifit from thier work. if thier wasnt copyright we wouldnt have scientific advancement as quickly as we do now because people wouldnt share thier discoverys just because others would take thier idea with no punishment.

b) make all bank transactions available online this one is meh but thiers a higher chance of fraud

c) enforce transparency in bussinesses and states by forcing. them to release all info they manage - including all their financial info.
again omg your a fucking idiot. why should someone be able to just look up a buisness's secrets and copy them, this reduces motivation to do anything new because it will just be stolen and it would be easier just to steal someone else market strategy.

d) allow some 20 years for the world to digest itself
lol wut?
