       | capital's innovation comes from harnessing hacker communities

         | I think I'd rephrase this slightly: capital's innovation comes
         | from harnessing hacker communities like one uses lumber (or
         | oil) for warmth. The resource is consumed in the process. Rent
         | seeking, not sustainability, is capital's primary instinct.
