Unless we make everything out of graphene I don't see that happening. You will still need to get the "ink"
Relative value of knowledge compared to the cost of ink will trend asymptotically towards infinity. Or stated the other way, the cost of ink relative to what you earn from knowledge, will trend asymptotically towards ZERO.
Click the link in the post below and look at the chart.
>So @esr, how do you align the long tail of maintenance into the sunk v marginal cost framework?
Er, simply by observing that it is neither of those things and cant be jammed into that framework.
He makes it clear that he didn't even consider that the lower transactional propagation cost of digital distribution of editable creations increases the frequency, granularity, and autonomy of those maintenance edits. He apparently doesn't remember that
Metcalfe's or Reed's Law says that as the number of those editing nodes increases, then the value of the knowledge network increases squared.See the interconnections are what causes the knowledge value to scale non-linearly at n^2.
You will miss out on that because you want to be isolated.
You don't have math on your side.
