      Let’s argue about how the estimated number that’s probably rounded up is wrong and not the fact that this price gouging should be illegal.

        If you think they are charging too much perhaps you can compete with them and make a cheaper one.

          Not the point of my statement. Regulations need to be set for things like this. Knowledge needs to be shared. Humanity needs to progress past competitive behavior.

            Knowledge needs to be created. profit is a good motivator. removing it is harmful. you need to take a broader view and consider how the knowledge you want to be shared is createdin the first place instead of taking it for granted.

                Start by not taking things for granted and try to see the world from a causal perspective. It also helps to be objective so be aware of your biases. Studying history can also provide you a broader understanding.

                  I’m confused. I work hard, I pay my bills and taxes I don’t think I’m taking anything for granted. I just personally believe that knowledge shouldn’t be gatekept behind trade secrets.

                    ask yourself where does knowledge come from. if you can put yourself in a position where you actually generate knowledge you might gain an appreciation for the efforth it takes.
