First, we need a public domain — a public commons — of ideas, inventions and cultural works for the betterment of society, hence the limited terms of copyrights (and patents).

I agree with Mithrandir: the teaching system sucks. Ironically, what I want to do in my “old age” when I am no longer a console cowboy is teach. However, the problem is that I need to find a forum that doesn’t disgrace humnaity.

Now, let’s make a school system that teaches KIDS that they are geniuses; let’s teach them that they can change things; let’s teach them that the wisdom of a single person can be more powerful than the blabbering of a thousand fools.
