You have absolutely zero knowledge of history, I'm embarrassed for you.
We're very clearly not talking about history, we're talking about the ridiculous hypothetical of if Hammering Nails to build Houses was patented today.
I can understand why you'd think that was fucking silly, my original response to it was "jfc this guy"
Yeah pretty much, that comment set the mood. I'm cool, I hope you are too.
It is interesting as a thought experiment if very basic human improvements could have been shut out from other people using them.
What if, for example, Plato was able to "copy right" his ideas. Or if any of the ideas from the Renaissance where prevented from being iterated on. Would we have the scientific method today?
Edit: Electricity? Pfft have fun with only one person owning the right to use it for 175 years. Next to no improvements for almost two centuries.
Again, people are not shut out from patented ideas. Tbey're shut out from selling them to third parties. And Electricity WAS patented in the USA, they lasted 17 years from the date of issue.
We're making two different points.
It's fine.
My point is that ya'll lie every time your moutha open.
Are you mental? Where did that come from?
I think someone just pissed in his Cheerios this morning.
Thank you. I thought we were discussing things. Apparently not lol
