Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Inconceivablezen]

In my opinion the discussion of "free subs" is misleading. I understand that not everybody has the money, but there are several free subs. You can still buy a 3G or a 4G sub that is not too expensive.
The question is why should Shannon "give more away for free"? He also has to survive and has a business to run. After the full development of 6G there will be new programs for free, the first program will be ASC. He will work for it, build it and earn nothing for it.
When was the last time you were developing and building something of value and give it for free to the world?
After EHPRA (one free program) you would like another one. Let's say you use the next one also for 6-12 months, then you will as for another free program. Did you benefit from it? How much are you planning "to take for free without giving back"? This is a question you should answer for yourself. What kind of a person or role model are you in society with your actions? Again, not a question to answer here but to yourself. Who do you want to be and what do you want to develop in.

Yeah, although, my response to this would be that giving out something free, an E2 freebie, in this case, would draw more people in and increase revenue/profit from a capitalistic perspective. So, I'm not recommending Shannon release E2 for free for altruistic reason, but purely for egoistical ones, instead (but, egoistical reason that will also benefit the entire world).
