Machine language is the beginnings at the heart of (sic) intelligent machines. We “people” do not naturally speak with machines on this level. The higher level languages are an on going effort for us to successfully control the machines to do our bidding.

Machines are neutral to our request within their design capabilities. It is this design capability we here ponder and hope to mediate. Corporate interests have only one objective; Material Profit. The biggest problem is to maximize profit, one must monopolize the market. We on the other hand, seek to empower and free the masses from the overreach of Corporate domination by creating individual economic reliance and open connectivity such that the individual is freed from the muting and debilitation effects of Monopoly.

Very good and fundamental quote for me. I think I will use it!
I feel we have to consider two positions now: http://open-stand.org and http://open-use.org while considering actively (IA assisted) intelligent use and ethitechnic design.
For the time being the OpenUse is in preparation and has two worked out pages on the IUCG (IETF mailing list for IUsers, hopefully some could from the "Civil Society").
