00:00:04.795 --> 00:00:08.599
Open source as seen through the lens of 
the MIT gift license

00:00:08.809 --> 00:00:14.419
has the power to break us free from this 
overly rational, cost-benefit analysis

00:00:14.603 --> 00:00:19.819
bullshit that's impoverishing our lives 
in so many other ways.

00:00:23.899 --> 00:00:27.019
It's a lens that isn't smudged by the 
tragedy of the commons,

00:00:27.355 --> 00:00:29.624
where we "find meaning in our work"

00:00:29.857 --> 00:00:33.537
and I mean that in the broadest sense, not
just in what you're employed to do.

00:00:33.717 --> 00:00:37.457
To go beyond "getting the job done"
and to connect with other practitioners

00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:40.960
as other humans, and not just as market
participants.

00:01:01.795 --> 00:01:07.401
A way to create bonds free of quid pro
quo reciprocal expectations.

00:01:08.282 --> 00:01:10.822
Free from demands. Free from debt.

00:01:11.055 --> 00:01:14.628
Free from shame. Free from repayment.

00:01:16.847 --> 00:01:18.794
Free from having to sell.

00:01:19.413 --> 00:01:23.413
To reject measuring my worth
in the same bullshit measures

00:01:23.762 --> 00:01:27.762
of engagement that's driving the wider
world off a cliff.

00:01:29.847 --> 00:01:34.287
Free to pursue intrinsic motivation
from a quest for autonomy, mastery

00:01:34.796 --> 00:01:38.796
and purpose that isn't shackled solely by 
employment or business

00:01:39.286 --> 00:01:43.286
Free to reach for self-transcendence that
lies in giving away

00:01:43.420 --> 00:01:45.290
the best of what you got

00:01:45.497 --> 00:01:48.207
and asking nothing in return.

00:01:53.847 --> 00:02:02.187
[Trade-free means we ask nothing 
in return]
