As a contrary point of reference:

I write entirely for free, and it is one of the principle reasons why I can write honestly and truthfully and without reservation on very controversial subjects: I have no malincentives to avoid.

As far as I can tell, within a generation, the creative commons license will replace copyright, and in the interim the possibility of profiting from writing other than by winning the lottery of a script, will continue to decline. (And that market is rapidly declining).

Even today, the primary output of paid work consists of little more than gossip within some tiny market for signal-information.

In other words, as each of us travels along our journey, we seek gossip from others passing through the same frame as a means of confirming the virtue of our choices.

The human world is very simple.

The consequence of free information easily published and easily found, is the rapid falsification of the multitude of narratives, and we are not very far from collectively understanding that there exist as few as a thousand ideas and all of them are comprehensible.

The only issue the mirror.

We don’t always like the reflection.
