It's well understood that big pharma has no incentive to cure diseases: they make more money by developing unique, patentable chemicals rather than using existing (unpatentable) natural compounds & remedies. Also, they seldom seek a *cure* - they make far more money from a lifelong treatment, ideally one with side-effects requiring further treatment.

The software industry is precisely the same - they want to sell you a treatment you pay for every month, not "buy once, problem solved".

Hot Take:

Most internet culture (memes, video game mods, "pirating", etc) is a great example of a "Gift Economy" where people contribute to the culture simply because they want to.

People work really hard for no direct gain. Hours of work, for free and little credit.

tea is the ideal beverage for meticulously preparing, and then forgetting about, leaving it to get ruined by time

One of my #RedRaspberries has revealed itself to be of the ever-bearing variety, after I got berry educated and changed my care routine. Depending on the variety and your specific climate, ever-bearing berries may make fruit for longer periods in the summer or can produce a second/fall crop. These fruiting canes began to grow in June, when the canes that grew after last winter were fruiting.

Industry is not incompatible with ecology- and anyone claiming they are is either a reckless capitalist looking to consume the natural world for profit, or a luddite with a very poor understanding of what actually makes current industry unsustainable.

Every product must last, and be recyclable. We also need to capture toxic and dangerous byproducts: storing them if we can't use them. And at that we should be a lot better off.
