Some of us are creating change and others are acting in a very nice little production of “change theater”. So kudos to everyone who has ever participated in an open source project—making available for free what some big corporation would otherwise charge an arm and a leg for. Hats off to the teams at Kickstarter, Donorschoose, Meetup, Twitter, GroupMe, etc for building the tools that enable self-organization, democratization, and disruption of the status quo. I support the efforts of Skillshare, Codecademy and others that are trying to make education—the greatest weapon we have against injustice—more freely available. This is the change we should be in the world.
