I have thought long and hard about this particular aspect, in the face
of economic interests that would rather something weren't free, and I
see one advantage of doing this, and that is that it would stimulate
interest in the product, theory or invention. If any yokel could build
it from the patent or freely distributed plans in his
backyard/kitchen/garage and impress his friends, the local press, it
would be much harder to suppress. There would just be too many people
doing it. People are bored and hypnotized watching TV, they really need
something creative to do. This would give them something.
But what was given away doesn't have to be the final, finished product
or idea. It could be just the beginnings of it, so that others could
prove for themselves that the idea is workable, that it flies in the
face of established physics theories.
The problem with man is that he has a tendency to suppress vital
information, to the detriment of his own species. Vital information is
just that, VITAL, and means better survival for mankind. But somehow man
thinks that the more vital it is, the more it should be suppressed out
of sight!
Except for Jerry Decker, thank you! Hands down to him for his efforts!
If anything is going to blow the lid off this effort to suppress vital
information, it is going to be the internet, and I will bet
someone/someones are very worried about this and wondering what to do.
