Do you think a new system designed for tinkerers can take over from commercial interests?

Why has Linux, despite many successes, not taken over in that way? And what are you doing differently?

you run into giant blobs of complexity that are just plain no fun to code.

Thank you for your answer. There's a lot to think about there. An old programmer I know had the goal of making every function he created into an addition to the programming language, in effect, so that he never had to re-code. It meant a lot of granular functions in libraries but he could write his apps in what looked like pseudo-code but was actually giant strings of these functions. Neat stuff when it worked.

Belgians, and more generally today's First World populations, basically need no government at all -- and our governments have lived down to this challenge.

Government may be obsolete in the first world, but do they need leadership? After all, they elected these incompetent governments.

Would it be sensible to state that politics is the applied wing of philosophy?
