       I had a late night epiphany last night lying in bed.Because of the origins of the "Free Software" movement with ivory tower academics, many of it's issues are the same ones that we routinely deal with when it comes to things produced in the ivory tower.Completely out of touch with the real world, chock full of all the standard barriers and assumptions endemic to the classist nature of the tower, and constructed in such a nature that it's nearly impossible to practically use for anyone outside of the tower or closely adjacent.This is why critical theory is of utmost importance.

       @dorian (things don’t tend to sell unless they’re accessible. commercial software is under darwinian selection pressure.)
