New: Information Commons
Edit this Page
globalvillagesinfo: I just suggested that there would be an Area "Information Commons" that
focuses on fields where Intellectual Property is outruled. It is one
aspect to discuss intellectual property and something different to
review copyright-free practises in all fields of human endavours. So I
think its not about "fairness" or "unfairness" of patents, but about
the ways a patent-free social contract works.
Wikipedia and free Software are just two examples of the enormous potential of non-patent endavours, and there might be a lot of people interested in the fact how things could (and do!) work in this way in agriculture, medicine etc. in a patent-dominated world.

I really like the technologies developing like all the work on Emotional Intelligence. It's so important in changing people and making them happier and more effective. The problem is people, the solution is people, because together seven billion people can probably solve anything. However working against one another they can almost cancel each other out. Techniques are now available for people to be able to make a mind shift to higher consciousness. It seems our superconscious already has most of our answers before we ask. It can be accessed by having an open mind rivaling that of even most scientist. It seems the subconscious is at least totally unbiased, manipulating images with only regard for matches and irregularities. That still small voice of intuition accesses it, if we become open enough to listen. It is the relatively quiet ideas that we discard that have all our creativity and genius. All the greats seem to use their muse, intuition and inspiration, even the symbolism in visions and dreams. The brain uses vision logic and frankly it seems to be far superior in getting at truth. I find foregiveness, thankfulness, hopeful thinking (as it is the part of the brain that answers questions, solves issues, is unbiased) and all the basics of spirituality access it for me. Words seem to be how it receives and gives instructions and suggestions. When the public accesses this tiger within it will lead us to a new world. I would like to see more on positive psychology, noetic science and all the breakthroughs on the nature of our world as the problem and solution is within as much as it is without. As the saying goes, if you don't go within you go without, without understanding, solutions and the big picture.

I support your suggestion, particularly as a way to facilitate the supply of medicine to areas of the world unable to afford western prices for drugs. Here is a site that promotes open source medicine which might feature in the area.. http://www.nationalreviewofmedicine.com/issue/2004/09_23/government_medicine02_17.html
