The knowledge filter is getting tighter. Libraries wouldn't be a thing if someone tried to invent them today. (www.theverge.com)

I just like to wonder the kind of stuff you could learn in the libraries of people like Rothschild. The wealth of old world knowledge is probably unfathomable to plebes like us.

I'd really like to know how a publishing company thinks someone going to a library was ever going to purchase books. This lawsuit is nonsense, and librarians are exactly who to ask how to pirate.

I'm in full support of the internet archive; however, they made a very foolish decision to arbitrarily lend out books without limit during covid. If you wanted to 'borrow a book' they lent it to you by ignoring existing law.

I think it's publisher greed. There's already been one boycott of publishers recently over pay. There needs to be another over this. Libraries pay more for books because they intend to share them. If publishers want to play these games, they can deal with bad sale due to piracy.

a) LI'BRA, noun - "balance" + LI'BER; adj. - "free"

b) free will of choice within the dominance of balance (free-dom) aka free (living) within dom (process of dying)

c) balance represents the momentum of motion; choice represents the center of balance, hence each one perceiving the ever changing moment (um) of perceivable motion.

d) choice requires a "moment" to be able to adapt to balance, hence life operating in-between input (inception) and output (death), which represents choice operating in-between need (perceivable) and want (suggested).

e) ones mind/memory represents the tool required for choice to operate within a moment (um), hence a memory that can handle perceivable inspiration (like a ram) and suggested information (like a hard-drive)...the former needs to be adapted to, while the latter tempts one to want to hold onto it.

f) knowledge represents perceivable inspiration, ones perceiving free will of choice represents ones conscious opportunity to draw inspiration for the growth of comprehension from it, hence shaping temporary growth (life) out of ongoing loss (inception towards death).

g) knowledge (perceivable inspiration) is always available to everyone within aka a constant flow of input. Suggested information tempts one ignore the constant flow of inspiration by filling up ones conscious memory, which in return forces one to constantly "filter" which suggested information one allows in.

A mind/memory adapting to perceivable inspiration does not need to accumulate information, it can utilize the ongoing flow of inspiration to adapt on the fly to whatever inspires. One cannot run out of inspiration; one can only feel filled with information, while lacking access to inspiration.

Filled with fiction (suggested information) yet starving within reality (perceivable inspiration)...
