This is a continuation of my last communique on this, titled “Re: Computers.”
‘Culture subsidization’ is simply a generalization of what we already know is Good: the subsidization of the public library.
It is in Our Civilization – The Whole World’s – interest to help People learn & grow as People, using, for this article’s purposes, cultural works like books, applications, audio lectures, movies, music, & documentary videos.
I am saying we need to import all the great ideas of written history into the
foundations of this new Information Age medium – the computer / The Internet –
Books especially.
That is because books carry 6,000 years of culture – the estimated history of writing;
We need to absorb, integrate, & graft books’ & all forms of cultural works’ ideas into this
new communications medium.
That is why I. today, present the strategic moves of both digitizing books & each category of cultural work – not by commercial forces like Google or Amazon, but not-for-profit & government organizations; & 2ndly making them free, thru what we just affirmed – cultural subsidization, like we do in public libraries – letting people learn & grow as people, & Our Civilization to culture – so we make smarter decisions in the future – as opposed to burning fossil fuels in high quantity for a century.
Let’s pay for People’s learning & also their personal growth, via (e)books, audio lectures & documentaries, movies & music, & other cultural works – just like we have for eons with the public library system.
We help pay for education, agriculture, & other basic staples in Life –
Digitizing & subsidizing essentially every book, & also digitizing & subsidizing documentaries, movies, audio lectures, music, applications, photographs, & the like will help us make make smarter choices, live more fulfilled lives, & just make the experience of Life more enjoyable for everyone.
Let’s Pay For Learning & Growth Thru Books, Videos, Audio, & All Cultural Works.
Thanks.

As a note: What I’m discussing is *not* becoming too fascinated with computers & their very recent ‘cave paintings’ ((that’s my new lyric by the way, don’t steal it =))), as novel & at times meaningful as they may be – but to drink of the whole of human culture, the true bottomless vintage wine-cellar of Man’s written works thruout history, that whets the tongue most-grandestly. Thanks
