Revolution
What kind of a "revolution" remains possible in
a country in which the progressives either decide they want to live
in a hippie commune to experiment with drugs and sex (see: Hippies
and: LSD) or are physically eliminated (see: Bob)?
On the one hand, a personal revolution: Yoga, Buddhism, meditation, good food and wine.
On the other hand, a technological revolution and a market revolution. Who champions this revolution? Wired and the American Right.
John Battelle wanted Wired to become hip – a Rolling Stone for the digital age. [1]
Kevin Kelly is absolutely sure that the invisible hand of the market and Darwinian evolution are one and the same. [2]
The Progress and Freedom Foundation is adamantly certain: Technological progress will wipe away monopolies and will result in increased competition. [3]
Unfortunately, the opposite is true. The digital revolution has created an incredible concentration of power and wealth.
