Agree.

The problems are not due to technical abilities of governments or 
sociaties. Problems are in how both coexist ;) And these are of more 
spiritual nature, not technical.

The fact itself that we consider things in terms of that duality is warring.

As of that, Stallman is certainly not a visioner, for me. Well, he still 
crowls well with his ideas.
