The Big IP Lie

Happy Thursday!

On one hand this is not Irreni World Scale related. Irreni World Scale has no policy about intellectual property law. None whatsoever.

On the other hand Irreni World Scale enables new governments called MGOs to establish juxtaposed laws. In this case I am going to write about IP, or intellectual property laws. Some MGOs will have IP laws, some won't. I am definitely against IP laws.



In 200 years sovereign nations will of fixed size thirty people. Today what would mean 200-300 million sovereign nations. MGO nations can have juxtaposed laws such as with pro-gun versus anti-gun; pro-abortion versus anti-abortion; or pro-intellectual property versus anti-intellectual property. Enforcement of shared environment will be via contract law and economic sanctions.

I personally am looking forward to a day when I can live without laws allowing gun,  IP,  or religion in my MGO.  Recently I've mostly focused on anti-theist topics regaling religion. On my social media sites recently I've made quite a few anti-theist posts lately due to the religious impact on politics and their coronavirus irresponsible behavior. However, it is better stated as I am evidenced based rather than just anti-theist. Ignorance is the fundamental problem. Ignorance has infinite possibilities in manifestation. This is why we anti-ignorance people hold no delusion that ignorance based system removal can work as a viable agenda. It becomes a game of whack-a-mole. No, the only correct agenda is pro-education.

There are many extant ignorance-based businesses in society that cause great harm where religion is just one. The list is long and includes astrology, homeopathy, multi-level marketing schemes, and on and on. Wanna know what my number one is? It's not religion. If I was given a wish by a genie to eliminate just one ignorant based system then I would wish away Intellectual Property laws. IP laws dwarf religious laws in tyranny and oppression by a country mile.

I bring this up because Trump's latest Twitter tantrum exposes the ignorance of IP laws. You see social media companies force you to give away your IP rights if you use their platform. They do this to prevent you from suing them, not because you are going to see your ugly mug in Facebook's next ad campaign. However, since social media companies own the copyright they are entitled to the royalties and revenues for said content. Also, holding the copyright also means they can be sued for that content as well as making money. As publishers they could revenue share and allow users to retain copyright. Ha! That ain't ever going to happen. This exposes the ludicrous stupidity of the entire concept of IP. Billions of users post creative content on social media sites for no money. Social media companies in turn make billions in ad revenue off of content created for no payment. Money is not the incentive then, thus undermining the central tenet of IP laws. Social media enjoys all the billions in royalties off of freely given creativity and take none of the responsibility.

The entire premise of IP is built on unproven claims. Social media proves them wrong. People create without profit. The claim is IP encourages creativity. There is no evidence for this. None whatsoever. Zero. You can find no scientific basis to support the need for IP law. IP law is a about the rich getting a free lunch. The rich make far more money off of content than the content creators in 100% of all markets. There is as much scientific evidence for IP claims as there is for Maya Angelou's claim in the meme attached. Or, as the blues line goes, "It's in him, it's gonna come out."



IP law is 100% ignorance based in its claims, no different than claims of the supernatural. However the evil inflicted is far more killing and oppressive in the modern world. IP law is the ultimate evil system of ignorance base and nowhere is that more on display than with social media companies that take all of the ad revenue money for content you create but take none of the responsibility.

You Need To Start Making Political Decisions

Image
Hi! Happy Wednesday! Yesterday Jimmy Carter was interviewed where in essence he was saying the US is no longer a Democracy, but an oligarchy. But that is actually being nice. It is corruption plain and simple. The US has become like Mexico, China and most other countries around the world. Corruption rules. I posted Carter's interview on Facebook yesterday and made two important arguments yesterday regarding Carter's observation: Root cause was scale. Our success has become our failure. Our success has been since WWI the US has become the richest country in the world, by orders of magnitude. In Silicon Valley we say that your success becomes your failure when something "goes viral", or the scale of growth quickly overwhelms either the company or the technology. Internet start ups fail because ten, twenty or even one-thousand times more web visits can bring down a site. Going viral means scale grows orders of magnitude too quickly to manage. This is ca

Irreni Manages Bad Reasoning

Image
Bad Reasoning Bad reasoning. We all have it and do it. Some of us more than others. How many times have we heard the average person doesn't understand finances? And yet everyone is expected to have their retirement invested? What kind of mad world is this? We demand financial savvy where none exists? It is almost as if the system is rigged to rip us all off while telling us it is our fault and we buy it hook, line, and sinker? The sad fact is we do let them get away with it because we do think it is our fault. Irreni World Scale manages bad reasoning. Some people may naively think that ignorance of something like finances is the only cause. Not at all. I know people with degrees in Math who buy lottery tickets. When I ask them if they know they are just throwing away money they say yes. On a more personal level I know I should be exercising but I don't. I guess in some ways one could consider this bad decision making over bad reasoning because I know the right answe

The Amercian Anthem: Drawing Cartoons of Muhammed

Image
Hi! Happy Thursday! Irreni World Scale is about solutions, not political punditry. This solution presented is how to think about the current national turmoil about NFL players taking the knee during the playing of the national anthem. No one can disrespect anyone unless someone lets them. That's worth repeating: No one can disrespect anyone unless someone lets them. What is the correct morality with respect to this national outrage? What is good? The Good: No one can disrespect anyone unless someone lets them. The Evil: Anything else. When I was but a wee young lad I read a couple of books that brought this point home to me. One is a book by Piers Anthony, "Xanth",  Worthless people's opinions are worthless. -Piers Anthony, "Xanth" Another book with a positive spin on the same message is, "Dorsai!", by Gordon Dickinson. I respect those people's opinion whose opinion I respect. -Gordon Dickinson, "Dorsai!

Introduction to the book "Irreni World Scale"

Image
What is Irreni? Introduction to the book "Irreni World Scale" Irreni World Scale is a political, scientific laboratory for proving claims of politics. What is Irreni World Scale? Irreni World Scale is new kind of governing. Irreni World Scale has nothing in common with today's central governments of Democracy, Communism, Socialism, etc. As such Irreni World Scale is going to be strange to you. It is going to be weird. However, don't let that stop you from reading this book. Just take a few deep breathes when needed. Perhaps set the book down when things get too weird. Take as much time as you need to digest things, perhaps even taking days in between reading chapters. What we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly. Obtaining the understanding in this book will not be cheap because the worth is a heavy esteem. Irreni World Scale is not a central government. Irreni World Scale is not a "rule of law" system. Irreni World Scale is a distributed system that uses

Kavanaugh Debrief

Image
Kavanaugh Debrief Hi! Happy Tuesday! Who should you believe: Kavanaugh or Ford?  I don't know. One of my throw-away lines with respect to atheism is that religion is for people who cannot accept "I don't know" as an answer. I could brag that a religious inability to accept "I don't know" is due to a lack of humility. But that's not the case. The reason people cannot accept "I don't know" is that "I don't know" is unsatisfying, it doesn't satisfy to provide ground for traction to move forward in life. But that's not true. I don't know is an actionable and tractable answer, and so I give to you this debrief. For example, in science a hypothesis starts with "I don't know" as the only actionable answer to the initial hypothesis. The answer is only known after an experiment is run and results analyzed. So how is "I don't know" actionable with respect to Kavanaugh vs. Fo

No Party, No Government

Hi! Happy Thursday! <3 An excerpt from The Hitchhicker's guide to the Galaxy* Chapter 36           The flying saucer in which Ford Prefect had stowed away had stunned the world  [and] there marched from it, down the ramp, an immense silver robot, a hundred feet tall.      It held up a hand.      "I come in peace," it said, adding after a long moment of further grinding, "take me to your Lizard."      Ford Prefect, of course, had an explanation for this, as he sat with Arthur and watched the non-stop frenetic news reports on the television, none of which had anything to say other than to record that the thing had done this amount of damage which was valued at that amount of billions of pounds and had killed this totally other number of people, and then say it again, because the robot was doing nothing more than standing there, swaying very slightly, and emitting short incomprehensible error messages.      "It comes from a very ancient democr

Legalize Prostitution? We Are Not Computers.

Image
Hi! Happy Sunday! Should we legalize prostitution? Yes. And No. We are not computers. There has been news lately surrounding Amnesty International's proposed new platform to decriminalize prostitution.  Should we? From the linked article above: But equally, critics and anti-trafficking activists say decriminalisation fails to take into account backgrounds of economic deprivation, pimp coercion and the intrinsic link between prostitution and sex trafficking.  Let us look at the word 'intrinsic': " belonging to a thing by its very nature: " This is not mere word parsing. Dogma can be manufactured anywhere at any time. And given there is no single world-wide religion and further given topics such as prostitution, abortion, and climate change are world-wide then expect rapidly growing non-religious dogma in public opinion. What is going on here is an attempt by the author to make human trafficking and prostitution one-and-the-same and t

Empathy for All to Data Center On The Moon

Image
Hi! Happy Wednesday! Your daily hug is at the bottom of the page. This may be a lengthy post so take the time, get your hug, and come back to the top. Originally I thought about entitling this blog "Empathy for All" and not "Irreni". Empathy for all is how one thinks in scale of a planet of seven billion people. There is no us versus them: just us. On this planet. Us on this planet. Us on this planet we call Earth. And wait for it...! I will get to the Data Center on The Moon by the end of this post. When I was growing up I ran into a narrative that I could not empathize with. I was raised to be Christian. I was raised that in order to be moral and do good one needed to be a Christian.  The only problem with that narrative is that it did not fit with my reality. As a child I had already met many non-Christians, non-religious and none of the non-Christians were axe wielding murderers. In fact I could not distinguish between a Christian and a non-Christian just
