Service Capitalism in Selfdestruction

With the establishment of industrial capitalism the machine was the capital, and it was privately owned. The machine as means of production is for quite some time now -unexpectedly?- replaced by mind!
So in Service/Information Capitalism the capital is now the information and the mind. Mind as the machine, and information the currency (and patent offices the banks), though we could well be already shifting to its financial counterpart, the "Patent" Capitalism.
But these evolutions pose a paradox, what about the individual interest the self pursuit and privacy? the other pilar of capitalistic systems. Are we in for another transformation? Back to the feudal age? keep the capital privately owned? or keep self pursuit and publish the capital? The capitalists of old had never such problems, their machines stayed where they placed them, their machines didn't join the competition, their machines didn't work for free for a third party, and generally their machines had no other agenda.
The third way could be to stage the drive for the privacy of capital and self pursuit in one man shows, ie freelancing as the only way to make bussiness in the service industry, but that would stress the current exchange infrastructure to the point of paralysis.
Either way capitalism is about to retire.

Hail Shift All Hail Noosphera

Fire is rebirth

Generation Z (Ω)

Let the discredit of natural serve us.
Let the ignorant view that nature holds no profit blind us.
Let us burn in the winds.
Let us be the last ones that hold beauty for granted.
Let us be the ones that get exiled from paradise.
Let us bear all the blame.
Let us be the last born in nature.
Let it all burn, until nothing remains.
Let us become ash.

So that the ones that follow appreciate what we discarded.
So that they aknowledge the true price.
So that they become the wind of change.
So it will be them, that will get the delight of the rebirth and rebuild.
So it will be them that will be the guardians and keepers of earth.
So they will be born wronged.
So it will be them, born yearning for nature.
So they will begin everything anew.
So they be called phoenix.

Hail Fire All Hail Destruction
