INTERNATIONAL INTEREST IN SERVIR AFTER U.N. CLIMATE CONFERENCES

PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENT FOR INFORMATION PROLIFERATION
(a.k.a. WHY IT WORKS)Position #1
• Information is power.• Power is freedom.• Therefore, information is equal to freedom.
Position #2 • Individuals exist to define and promote their own
freedom.• An individual cannot define their freedom alone, to do
so requires the freedom of an other.• Sharing information promotes the freedom of the other.• If an individual’s freedom is dependent upon the
freedom of an other, then the sharing of information with the other promotes the individual’s freedom.
