Google Offers a Million Bucks For a Better Inverter

specific information about named individuals, so Jamie's extension from "information" to "freedom" is just Jamie being as moronic as ever.

If a resource is being harvested from someone, in this case information from people, then those people have lost something that belonged to them that was of inherent value. Information and freedom are tightly linked in this world, due to the competitive nature of existence. Google builds a competitive advantage against others by collecting information. In many ways on the spectrum from "easy to see" and "theoretical and hard to grasp". Your comprehension isn't anywhere on that spectrum.

Not just that as well, but also information and freedom go hand in hand as freedom requires making choices based on information, which is obvious how many people lose aspects of their freedom due to not having correct information, or misleading information, ie from companies doing targeted and misleading advertising based on google's gathered data. Another example is all the incorrect health advice (misinformation) that restricted people's freedom and still does due to health issues etc. Basically big corporations often make their money by restricting freedom of the average person, with misinformation as a very important part of that, in order to maintain the illusion that the model presented by the corporations is correct. Obviously this hairbrained way of living is coming to an end with REAL information being spread easily now, but there are still a few dinosaurs holding onto the old model..

Information isn't devalued by being spread. The amount of money you can mak e by retailing the information is reduced, but the information is just as u seful as it ever was to the end-user.

Or not understanding the information they are accessing - which does happen to be Jamie's major problem.

Jamie is a sucker for really bad health advice - which leads him to spend m ore on drinking unpasteurised milk, which is potentially dangerous. If it w ere reliably dangerous, he'd probably be in a TB sanitorium, but cows only rarely get exposed to the tuberculosis bacterium (and other nasty bugs) so he's been lucky so far.

Small corporations can be just as greedy and even more willing to lie, sinc e there's less money to be made from taking them to court.

His enthusiasm for spreading bad information that seems to be designed to i ncrease the profits of "organic food" suppliers does suggest that his advic e is less than reliable.
