"My solemn promise is if we do build *net, we will all be very wealthy simply by using it. *net should be self sustaining without resorting to funding drives (like wikipedia) or commercialization at the fringes (linux)"
This is a basic premise, which is supported by the wealth of digital resources we have at our disposal. But how to translate this reality into an abundance of physical goods?
Ok, everything starts and ends with money at this point. But you can't eat it, can't sleep inside it, and by itself it can't get you from place to place. So, where does it fit in a scheme of common prosperity and the current trend toward "gift economy"?
