[Irtalk] Relation Between Medieval Renaissance and Today's Open Knowledge Dissemination

[Hilton Gibson]

Time has shown us how zero control by a handful of individuals over the
society and complete control of the community, as a whole, over itself
brings about positive changes. Less the control by individuals or groups
and more the control of the complete set of individuals, more is the
positive change. The history of the printing press is a case in point.
While history made a mockery of the control-freaks, it proved right the few
individuals, who believed in the intellectual capacity of the masses.
Intellectual Nazism should be a thing of the past and we should move away
from such self-defeating practices.
