I agree. This work is being done in a spirit of pure profit seeking. Even when the individual contributors have altruistic intentions they cannot help that they are part of a larger system which seeks to extract profit from their work. And I also agree that a world's fair would only succeed in highlighting our willingness to pour money into profitable benefit while turning a eye from the growing need in our society.
I really wish we could recenter our society on collective benefit with the financial aspect considered as one of many values involved.
