Musings
- If the accumulated wealth of inventions and generational improvements is considered a human heritage and treated as such, perhaps every person on this earth could have decent housing, food, and basic health care.
- Wikipedia is a part of this human heritage.
- There are human rights and human debts. We do not hear much about the latter: They have been called the primordial debts.
- A patent (copyright?) is "a device that enables one man to claim special financial rewards for being the last link in the complicated social process that produced the invention".[1] Lewis Mumford
- "Corporations are people" - Mitt Romney[2]: - No, they are not.
- They do not go to jail; they do not die but reorganize; they pass on financial penalties to the customer; long-term costs of damage is carried by the taxpayer.
- "Claimed research findings may often simply be accurate measures of the prevailing bias" - John P. A. Ioannidis.[3]
- Justice? – You get justice in the next world, in this world you have the law. - A Frolic of His Own by William Gaddis, or in a paraphrase by Eric Schmidt: The laws are written by lobbyists.[4]
- Apologies to the longsuffering correctors of my typos and misspellings.
- I can be wrong.
- Wikipedia: Caveat lector. Also, there is Wikipediocracy
- Never underestimate the intelligence of the reader.
- Removal of information is censorship.
