brian land who created c-span.
jeff bezos at amazon, jimmy
whales at wikipedia.
larry page and sergei bren at
google.
they brought knowledge to the
world, transparency, we get to
find out more or less what
politicians are up to because
of this.
john: but some of this did it
to make money.
>> some didn't, jimmy whales
created a charity.
he may wish he didn't do that.
sure they do it to make money,
by the invisible hand as adam
smith put.
if you set out to make money,
the only way to do it is to
provide people with something
they want.
>> one of the things that's a
challenge talking about media
and filmmaking, the invisible
hand is hard to film.
john: that's a good point.
back to hollywood, i'm struck
many of the left wing movies
work on me, their arguments are
wrong, in the movie american
president, i cheer when
president shepard finally comes
to his senses, agrees with
leftist girlfriend and trashes
a conservative law.
