“Intellectual Property” is a lobotomy on civilizational development.
It creates scarcity out of the most vibrant and fruitful products of our mind. It is fundamentally incompatible with the collaborative nature of intellectual and cultural work. It hangs like a sword of Damocles above every creative endeavor, ready to be dropped by large Owners who weaponize it to protect and expand their power. The worst part is: the very existence of IP laws forces participation from creators, and they end up having to defend it to survive.
