This seems a bit odd.<p>Leading with abstract discussion regarding technology as a solution, only it’s too hard to enforce royalty rights (people just keep doing whatever works for them regardless of who had a good idea first.)<p>Next, classifying solutions to technology problems which use technology (coal burning for instance) as being a superior alternative to “social solutions” which never quite work.<p>The article appears to subtly suggest it unfair for anyone not paying in royalties for technology based solutions to their problems.<p>The presentation appears to claim “social” solutions don’t work or are insufficient, and only technology innovators (and their intellectual property) solve real problems.<p>Looks like a think piece laying a conceptual framework for promoting intellectual property technology as universally superior to “social solutions” whatever they make that out to be.<p>Have I missed something?
