nigini commented on A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark
"Where the capitalist class sees education as a means to an end, the vectoralist class sees it as an end in itself. It sees opportunities to make education a profitable industry in its own right, based on securing of intellectual property as a form of private property. It seeks to privatize knowledge as a resource, just as it privatizes science and culture, in order to guarantee the scarcity and their value. To the vectoralists, education is more “content” for commodification as “communication.”" #066
