   The internet and world wide web has revolutionised everything in human society and our everyday-life, which we take for granted. The benefits of the internet far outweigh the disadvantages, and we should embrace that to the full. This organised collective system of exabytes of information, together with cheap but efficient search technology, is allowing poeple to communicate, to learn, to create.

    Libertarianism is supposed to be all about freedom, free minds, free speech, free markets, free societies. Libertarianism has been claimed by many different people to mean very different things, and there will often be heated debates between people who call themselves libertarians. I see it as being opposed to any authoritarian influences, such as big corrupt governments, big corrupt  corporations/monopolies, far-right-wing conservatives, or far-left communists, or lawless anarchists, who wish to do uncalled harm to others. It seeks to promote individual liberty of individuals. Each person owns their own body and their own mind, and should express themselves the way they want, as long as they don't physically impose this on someone else.

    My work as a scientist and this website is rooted in a digital libertarianism philosophy, which means promoting open-source open-access science to everyone who has an internet connection. We can argue whether or not free open information (or free speech or education) and access to it, should be a right or not; but certainly no intelligent person would want to prevent people, including children, from learning, and making the world a better place for themselves and others. I want to help the online community push for a fully decentralised system of open science, open data, open research, DIY Labs, and open education, while of course giving credit to the people who create and innovate the scientific content of the system, by respecting intellectual property and privacy. I predict a world where people can easily share any resources or services or products, from the comfort of their home, with no 'middleman' intervention of any sort. Here I will make a case that progress in society is based on progress in science is based on making it as open as possible to innovate as quickly as possible. Open Source Science & DIY Labs are the future. OS Science is what this website is based on, and I will be posting more links and works on this page ASAP.
