Basically its those of us who are happy making a reasonable living from our own work VS those who want to carry on living off the work of others. Open Source Exxons and General motors will be cool. Open source money will be even cooler. The finacial system is pretty much stacked in favour of those who already have a lot and emphasises competitive behaviour. Alternative currency systems are great and are making stady progress worldwide. Dear Hugh,

Blog pimp Hugh McLeod is punting Sig’s non-conventional approach to software development. I have no problem with that. Sig’s ideas around tagging as compared with tree hierarchies are fascinating. I’m not so sure about his ideas around ‘flow’ as it…

Basically I can turn my brainwaves into software by wiggling my fingers. Collectively, a bunch of us can build a community of finger-wigglers, and we can make something amazing and useful. Right now, doesn't the huge up-front investment required in an open source Exxon (ships, rigs, etc) totally preclude such a thing from even coming close to existing?
