Hey mateys!

I made a post at /c/libertarianism about the abolition of IP. Maybe some of you will find it interesting.

Please answer in the other community so that all the knowledge is in one place and easier to discover.

That would be a great first step and this is exactly why I have initiated this discussion. It helps me to align my behaviour with what I personally consider to be optimal and then act accordingly. Everything I create to improve my situation I also want to share with the world.

And as a fun fact: without IP there is no need for copyleft or open source licenses because theoretically you can reverse engineer everything. But that doesn't make the open source community obsolete. There will still be a distinction between people who openly share their source and solution and those who try to hide it from everyone.

I hear you but utopias are not possible.

It happened with communism, and a bunch of more political ideologies.

Remember the underwater hellhole from bioshock?
