      The market is not interested in controling as much as it is in extracting - through exchange asset (value) for asset (value) a pricing game.
  • The social web flies in the face of this wisdom with users wanting and learning to leverage “free” for self expression,

      The lack of an entrance fee does not necessarily constitued "free" - it only means that a different market mechanism is compensating for the fee not contributed by the user - namely advertising.
  • The irony of this is that old “beliefs systems” are based on a philosophy of scarcity rather than abundance.

      The notion of "irony" presupposes that there is an in group that knowlingly is mstating a statement so as to mock those that are not in the in group. So the only way your statement could be be ironic is that those in the in group use the term to really mean their is no scarcity.

  • Blinded by old beliefs those that continue to try and contain and control will loose to those that leverage free for greater value for a larger market of people willing and wanting to participate in the new “philosophy”.

      What is this "new" philosophy? If the point you are suggest is the antheis to "contorl" that would discribe anchchism - which is fairly old. In fact I would suggest that you read Robert Paul Wolff's "In Defense of Anarchism" published in 1970. Much of is an out growth of the Romantic period that dates back into the 16th Centry or if you want to back even further there is Sophist of the Third Centry BC.
