Xanadu: A tool worthy of chronicaling and creating the achievements, documents,
and
discussions * of all mankind ( * scientific, political, artistic, literary,
mathematical,
personal, social, religious, etc.).

Making a Movie in Xanadu
http://hyperworlds.org/xanadumovie.html

Participate in and read various discussions (a combination of what we now call
groups,
chats, and e-mail lists). When you read a good quote or part of a discussion,
book-mark it
and add some keywords for your index of resources. Listen to some music, read
books,
watch movies; doing the same in all these. Continue this process throughout the
making
of the movie. This will provide some of the dialog, plot, music, and even some
video you
will include. Since much of the discussion will be video chat, this could become
good
material for a movie that includes discussion of philosophy, religion, politics,
science, art,
music, etc. (see Mindwalk). Not that these are isolated areas of thought, as
there will be
much overlap and interconnectedness (intertwingularity). Other people could be
making
movies similar to yours. You could make a version based on theirs, and visa
versa. A lot of
movies could then be hyperlinked together in a variety of diagrams that point
out the
relationships and viewpoints. Since everything in Xanadu is fully quoteable and
editable,
you won't need anyone's permission to use anything, and they won't need your
permission
to use your contribution, and everyone gets paid fairly for all they have
created, every time
it is used. This happens automatically, without complication, because the
structure of
Xanadu supports it. So if you say something in a discussion that someone else
quotes in a
screenplay that is edited by someone else and is made into a movie by someone
else; then
every time someone watches that part of the movie (even inside another movie),
you
automatically receive a small payment. You can choose to give away your words,
music,
pictures, video for free if that's what you prefer. After the "official" editor
releases the
movie, the out-takes and bloopers that got cut can be included in comedy or
longer
versions by other editors.
