RE: The power of knowledge is unknown to most people, including you, perhaps.
I try to write from the perspective of a neutral observer.
I like to see only the truth, and not apply judgement or my own desires to it.
Reality is.
Yet there must be clear, solid reasons to desire freedom to persist.
Not just a fleeting spark of freedom, such as they do with open source software- where you get to see the source, but cannot modify it truly, but rather, a free software world where the source is truly open, modifiable, and not only that, but you cannot take information from the source, but not share it.
A person who uses previous good ideas to make a better idea should share the better idea. To keep it secret is a terrible thing, considering how dangerous technology can be.
Be it spying upon all whom exist, or being able to instantly exterminate entire cities, there are people with far too much power, and other people with very little power.
Thus there must be a moment of equalization.
