Now guess why we have libgen and boox.
Imagine walking into a library or bookstore and needing three or four pairs of different glasses to read different books manufactured to specific viewing equipment. Or buying a book and then having to arbitrarily destroy it after say, two weeks. That’s just nuts. But it’s the current situation we’re in with ebooks.

2wheels4change began in the spring of 2009, when tyle met Felix and Lena at the TransYapit Festival in Istanbul. tyle was searching for musicians for a bicycle band, and Felix wanted to travel by bicycle to Mongolia to visit Lena who was going to study there.

Slave State.
Let us take an illustration. Suppose that, at a given moment, a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world, everybody concerned in the manufacturing of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked. In this way, it is insured that the unavoidable leisure shall cause misery all round instead of being a universal source of happiness. Can anything more insane be imagined?

Von Mächtigkeit reden Achtjährige und meinen nicht Könige oder Kanzler, sondern Mengen von Haselnüssen und Rosinen. Und wenn sie sagen, irgend etwas sei irgend etwas anderem "eineindeutig" zuzuordnen, dann stottern sie nicht, sondern sind stolz darauf, daß sie dem Vater auch dann überlegen sind, wenn er Abitur und Doktortitel besitzt. Laut Mengenlehre-Gegner Hans Stahl (Stuttgart) "sehen die Kinder früh, zu früh, ihre Eltern hilflos und unwissend. Damit schwindet die Achtung, die Kinder können nicht mehr ihre Eltern fragen, deren Vorbild verblaßt".
