A quick thought on Anderson’s thoughts just posted
Does it strike anyone else as odd, that in a world where:
1 billion people don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water
1 billion people don’t get enough food or have basic nutriotion needs met
4 million people have died in the DRC in the last decade due to genocide and the consequences of war
Darfur is still happening
we can, with a straight face (myself included), discuss time and attention as “scarcities”?
More to come on this, methinks. The intersection of the “new scarcities”, American captialism, neo- and technological-colonialism, intellectual copyright, the plausibility of “free”, and basic human goodness seems an interesting and complicated one.
