I built http://routastic.herokuapp.com/ to help make "rake routes | grep" more interactive. Try it out!

"We" don't help others, save people, or prevent them from dying because there isn't any money in it. It is a monetary society, and you can't have a strong sense of ethics when everyone is out to maximize profit. 1% of the population owns 40% of the world's wealth. The amount of money we spend in the US on our military is enough to send every teenager to a four year college.

Open source, the shining example of selflessness, really only works when people contribute to it for their own selfish reasons.

Technology is what the world needs to address poverty, lack of education, and prevent diseases and deaths. We are fortunate to be a in a field that disrupts the guardians of the status quo with new inventions. Now we just have to apply it to the social problems in the world.

So why haven't I reached out to help others that are less fortunate? I don't have an answer that absolves me of my ethical responsibilities to do so. Its a shame our government won't, and the "can't do" attitude has trickled down to me. Thanks for the call to wake up.
