Amen Brother.

I imagine a world where closed source software is looked down on in disgrace as unsafe and nonsensical. Soon we're going to see more and more successful closed source software companies switch to an open source model. One day hopefully people will have the knowledge to realize we can code everything our selves. 90% of our goods and services can be augmented or automated. We could and should have 3 hour work days and we should be retiring after 4-5 years.

In a world where we all had 3-hour workdays or some sort of guaranteed minimum income, my argument that "significant software projects require some sort of revenue stream in order to pay developers" becomes invalid. We don't yet live in that world.
