Call & Response

i love open source. quite simply it's an inevitable outcome of the information age and it's beaauuuuuutiful. it's cool that justin dillon took that idea and applied it to a humanitarian movement and it seems like he understands open source.

so where will open source take us? the question goes back to what the world looked like before technology. people are always driven to do stuff, and things had to get done. but without blackberries to keeps everyone connected to everyone else, people naturally formed structures that were hierarchical. kinda like standard deviation. but things are shifting now, and we're seeing a shift in power to the masses. do you see the change? humanity is not being dragged from the top, but moving in harmony. injustice and corruption is being exposed and punished. the gears and hinges are being polished and greased. the definition of self is shifting from 'I' to 'We' and identity will fade to black. humanity itself will form a consciousness and humanity itself will determine our fate. singularity.

one more thing. no one needs to be explained that human trafficking is "wrong", yet it still exists. there's players on both sides that are constantly moving the issue in different directions. i dont question justin's intentions but i ask myself, where does he think this is going? he mentioned several times that he had no idea what he was doing. he just found something he thought needed to be changed and went around trying to change it. honestly, that's awesome. but at the same time, like anyone else who strives for change, his efforts are ultimately
