a closed source. when we look at this philosophy through out current softwares, we can see that closed source is for limiting and/or controlling growth and open source is for promoting it. this is why I struggle with any closed source philosophies.
I try to comprehend this with optimism, that it is for the greater good, and in some ways i can see that would work to promote growth. but it doesnt seem natural to me. nature is perfect, doesnt need mans (or what/whoever else) intervention, so i remain suspicious of this philosophy. (earth as a school house) then there is also the prison planet philosophy, which also seems plausible but I have a hard time accepting this because it would certainly lead me to become more depressed with our situation.
well, Ive said it (see above) but also, I AM the same child I ever was, just aged with poisons, brainwashing, etc. involved. seems to me a deliberate conspiracy to hold back mankind is afoot. it really does. a closed sourced paradigm that if not changed and soon will lead to ultimate destruction of mankind.
so I have a hard time accepting either of these closed source philosophies. my heart tells me this is not "The Way" and that Open Source is the only natural way for mankind to progress. my mind though, thinks I should not yet reach a final judgement and continue to consider all options.
