What are pragmatic things that we can do to push for open access for academic papers?

Imagine the live map of the money-flow around the research/review/publishing/usage. It could give us some hints.

Pain becomes palpable If one think about it. Maybe some thermodynamically provable illustrations of the energy around the issue would help us illustrate the problem (read: the scale of sickness of the 'intellectual property')

My hunch is that we're at the stage where KWh could - and should be used as the universal money (with all implications and hurdles it may signal)

Like purified BTC.

(I think it meant) "If you visualize the monetary flow in the article publishing business, the "sickness" involved («pain») becomes visible: the energy waste becomes so apparent that it suggests replacing money directly with energy".

Concept that its author wanted to stress by crafting an energy consuming post.

(Joeberon, you never had to extensively decrypt the texts of theoretical philosophers of the latest centuries, had you ;) )
