information will get out eventually

In today's news, hackers are getting into a lot of US government files (though, officially, not the classified ones). This illustrates the points that
  1. people want information
  2. they will get it eventually
The more information we have, the less we support inefficiency. Land rent is the most efficient way to distribute wealth (See the website for details). So land rent is inevitable in the long term.

I think if I spent a few hours with you on land rent, I just might imagine how it works. I do understand your basic premise that those who create wealth own it, but in the real world I don't quite seeing how it could really work.

I've been thinking the same thing lately. I often get confused myself, and I'm writing this blamed thing! :)

I haven't spent any time on the important question - "how would it work." I've been wasting time spouting off on my pie-in-the-sky ideas like universal justice and choosing your own government. But that was the reason for starting this blog - to refine my ideas, and I'm grateful to anyone who has the patience to read this lengthy "test phase."

I think that my next step is to re-work the web site so that it focuses only on the core idea, land rent, without talking about replacing governments or anything else. That will probably take a few weeks. meanwhile I'll give my weird opinions as usual. :)
