    Again, you’re missing the dystopian guild-nature of art that would result from your proposal. I do not understand why this is the hill you want to die on.

    College textbooks are not a racket, but rather a result of monopolization of publishing. Why would you want to limit access further?

      Unlike some people, I simply enjoy interesting conversation. Not crusading to change the world by fighting for my beliefs or whatever. I like intellectual exploration and discussion.

      It’s not a “hill” and I’m not “dying”. It’s a conversation. Not my fault if I’m surrounded by internet geeks.

        I don’t believe you like conversation when you get so defensive of bad ideas.

          There it is again, insulting. Calling me defensive and my ideas bad, but not actually elaborating. I think we’ve found a troll.
