305 | No gatekeepers

If born in our age, Thomas Paine, Picasso, Mozart or Voltaire would have loved to have been bloggers, or YouTube video makers, having instant access to the world for their ideas. da Vinci, Michelangelo, and van Gogh would have had websites, thrilled to get commissions via Kickstarter and PayPal from complete strangers, freeing them from working only at the frustrating whims of popes and kings. Making music, film, books or almost anything at all is cheaper than ever in history, and can be put out into the world without a single person's approval. We are free! The gatekeepers are gone!
