"It's been my point all along that perpetuating or prolonging a model based on artificial scarcity needn't be achieved through openly obvious and direct means, but instead by simply prolonging and reinforcing the life-cycles of the types of architectures that support manipulation, thus making it possible in the first place. Such models continue to prosper long after their original deployments, but most interestingly, they survive and flourish now even more so after their architectural shortcomings were first revealed in the context of present-day realities and requirements." This goes to many issues discussed upstream, especially that of complexity itself. Thus, "Get out of the box." This is an idea that appalls many; it's equivalent to The Gordian Knot Solution. It's policy change. More importantly, it's recognition that the mass of self-perpetuating and contradictory dynamics has become an excessive burden, a problem in its own right. It requires political courage and direction, as Australia, South Korea and others have demonstrated. Whether the requisite elements for change exist in the United States is unclear, but present evidence on financial reform and health care suggests the answer is "No." There's no way to "evolve" out of the strangling snarl, not in our lifetimes. Law, regulation and jurisdictional separations all need to be rationalized before change can happen. Jim
