Information-43.

It is not just information that must be free,
but the knowledge of how to use it. Information in
itself is a mere thing. It requires an active,
subjective capacity to become productive.
Information is free not for the purpose of
representing the world perfectly, but for
expressing its difference from what is, and for
expressing the cooperative force that transforms
what is into what may be. The test of a free
society is not the liberty to consume information,
nor to produce it, nor even to implement its
potential in private world of one's choosing. The
test of a free society is the liberty for the
collective transformation of the world through
abstractions freely chosen and freely actualised.
