## Quote — verbatim

> We humans physically stopped evolving about 10,000 years ago — our brains did not get bigger — but we got extremely smart... because we can coordinate and we can share knowledge... the most important thing for the evolution is open access to information. The more open and more frictionless there is a way to access information, the faster we can \[evolve\]... that's why I think open source is not just beneficial to one single entity like Akash but beneficial to the whole ecosystem.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

His philosophical case for open source; he adds the DePIN/decentralized compute ecosystem exists because of Akash's open code.
