Ich sah des Sommers letzte Rose stehn,
Sie war, als ob sie bluten könne, rot;
Da sprach ich schauernd im Vorübergehn:
So weit im Leben, ist zu nah am Tod!
— Christian Friedrich Hebbel, Sommerbild

When the net slowly becomes populated with non-hackers, who aren’t part of that community, and don’t do anything productive for the net at large, much of the motivation driving the current system will die. (Yes, of course there will be non-hackers who find some usefull thing to do that is beneficial to the net. I think most will just be TV-watching drone types though.)

Do you know what’s worth fighting for,
When it’s not worth dying for?
Does it take your breath away
And you feel yourself suffocating?
Does the pain weigh out the pride?
And you look for a place to hide?
Did someone break your heart inside?
You’re in ruins.
— Green Day, 21 Guns*
