1's and 0's would be just the same as a well designed building.
there are buildings that can house a whole family and there are buildings that are dumb art sculptures that cost 1000x more than they are worth.
ill even go on to say that there are games that can help people learn as everyone learns differently, games are a great way to simulate the "doing" learning method in a safe environment.
I think the point is more that you're paying for information, which can be infinitely and cheaply copied (like a real life Star Trek replicator). Information does not work the same as physical goods, and the market price of information is $0
but that is also unsustainable. who in their right mind would spend time making those things when they get nothing out of it? that is why copyright laws and intellectual property were created, to give business to intelligence.
literally the entirety of the free open source software project does that. youve just been brainwashed into thinking any altruism is cuckery. or any work for the community or "free" must be communism.
FOSS projects are the power of passion and humanity working together on focused projects. like stacking rocks to build a wall as a whole people than just alone.
the entirety of modern technology today would not be possible or function without this free work gifted to the world by millions and millions of foward thinking ungreedy passionate generous intelligent people.
Yes indeed, basically the entire internet is based on open source code: web browsers are open source, servers are open source, all the infrastructure and protocols are open source, all the underlying libraries and APIs (e.g. SSL) are open source, etc.
Open source is the biggest refutation to the idea that money is the only thing that matters, or that development is unsustainable without money. Of course being able to fund open source development with money would be even better, but not by selling software.
If you are being sold software you are more than likely either paying someone to control your devices or are paying someone to profit off of your devices.
