+## Step By Step Instructions For Dummies To Determine Copyright Status Etc.
+
+DISCLAIMER: Fuck you.
+
+NO ONE EXCEPT [DRUMMYFISH](drummyfish.md) UNDERSTANDS COPYRIGHT for some reason, not even copyright lawyers, judges, people with 10 Nobel prizes in law and people dealing with copyright for their whole lives, it's incredible how people somehow cannot grasp the basic idea of copyright. It is a bit more complex than wiping your butt but it's not rocket science, for some reason everyone keeps coming up with weird conspiracy theories about how copyright works when there are relatively simple rules that allow us to analyze every single case exactly, save for subjective judgments such as where the threshold of originality lies etc. Here is an attempt at dumbing it all down to a simple summary that anyone with half a brain can hopefully follow.
+
+Preface: we must reiterate that copyright is NOT the only form of intellectual property, there are many others (trademarks, patents, personal rights, trade dress, ...). Here we will focus on copyright because that's usually what causes us trouble, but even if we check that copyright isn't burdening a specific work, it's still possible it will be burdened by another shit, always keep this on your mind. Also copyright laws differ by country etcetc., you know the drill.
+
+Next, STOP ASSUMING WEIRD COMMON SENSE THEORIES, that's not how law works, law is not about common sense or feelings or fairness or justice or morality or anything else but completely arbitrary rules established by drunk idiots for fun which must be followed absolutely blindly even if it makes zero sense because we live in a dystopia full of idiots who do fucked up shit. To understand copyright you must first understand this as reality, copyright doesn't work as you would wish or assume it worked. To understand copyright just learn the rules and don't ask why they are so because if we wanted to be reasonable, first of all we'd get rid of whole copyright altogether. Some shit theories people often come up with include:
+
+- "I put a lot of work in X so I deserve copyright on it." DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER, NO ONCE CARES
+- "The guy made a tutorial on how to make X so he actually kinda gave up his copyright on X because he wants people to make X." DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER
+- "The author uploaded it on the Internet by which he kinda gave permission to people to download it." DOESN'T FUCKING MATTER, HE CAN SUE YOU FOR YOUR LAST PENNY
+- "People normally do this and I've seen even Wikipedia did it so it's fine." NO ONE FUCKING CARES
+- "The guy said do whatever you want so it's basically public domain." NO
+- "I got permission of the author on using X in my libre game, so my game remains libre." NO unless he released X under a libre license
+- "The author [abandoned](abandonware.md) X and no longer cares about it so it's kinda free now." NO
+- "The author died so no one has copyright on it now." NO, copyright typically lasts at least 70 years after the author's death
+- "[AI](ai.md) (or insert any new technology) was involved in this so we have no idea about how copyright works here." NO, AI IS LITERALLY A COMPUTER TOOL, WE HAVE 100% IDEA ABOUT HOW COPYRIGHT WORKS HERE
+- "I used some convoluted process (such as letting 1000 monkeys type random things for 1000 years) to produce a derivative work of a copyrighted work so I bypassed the rules and it's not a derivative work haha." NO, IT IS DERIVATIVE WORK, DERIVATIVE WORK IS ONLY BASED ON SIMILARITY, NOT THE PROCESS OF CREATION (see below)
+- "I bought this texture (font, soundfont, image, sound effect, ...) so I can use it in my libre art." NO, you probably bought a license to use the texture in a certain way but it most likely doesn't allow literally making the texture free, i.e. literally making it free as in freedom for everyone on the planet (which is required for every part of a libre work), that would completely break the whole business of the seller on the spot
+- ...
+
+Now suppose we have an intellectual work *W*, such as a picture, video game, an invented word, circuit schematic, sound effect, logo, music, font, book, fictional character, book translation, mathematical formula, language, a collection of quotes by famous people and so on -- anything that's a non-physical work, anything that can by any stretch be considered a creative [art](art.md) requiring some intellectual "work", i.e. thinking, intuition, creativity etc. Of course this intellectual work MAY be mixed in with a physical work (for example a painting will be PHYSICALLY present on a canvas, or a car design will be present on a PHYSICAL car) -- here we must see that these are two works connected together: the intellectual work and the physical work. There is no issue here, we are still dealing with intellectual work, even if it's only a part of something that's inherently a combination of the abstract and the physical.
+
+Now let's examine the intellectual work's status in terms of copyright. Again, we will now make a simplification (that often holds in practice, but not always) and suppose the work is NOT further burdened by other intellectual property such as patents or trademarks, so we're assuming that the only form over the work *W* that can now be present is copyright. We'll ask who holds the copyright, if the work is free etc.
+
+**Who has the copyright over work W (i.e. who "owns" it)?** If the work is copyrightable (see below), then that who created it (even multiple people or a company etc.) automatically has the copyright (without registering it or declaring it or anything, also note that sometimes the creator sells the copyright to someone else, e.g. a recording studio, and so transfers the copyright to someone else), UNLESS the work is a **derivative work** of some already existing copyrighted work, in which case the creator of the original work has the copyright on the "copied" parts while the creator of the new work has copyright over the independent, newly added parts only. Derivative work PRACTICALLY means that the work was "not created from scratch", i.e. that it is rather a modification of something else and so that who created it can't own it as a whole, it contains something "owned" by someone else -- for example a fan fiction of [Harry Potter](harry_potter.md) is a derivative work because it's heavily based on an existing copyrighted work of Harry Potter, so the owner of Harry Potter now also own parts of all Harry Potter fan fictions, ok? However anything "completely new and original" (such as a completely new invented character) that was added to the original work can SEPARATELY be considered an original work owned by the creator of the derivative work (the fanfiction). Makes sense, right? There is a (sometimes quite subjectively drawn) fine line between a derivative work and a work merely lightly inspired by something that already exists, the latter of which is NOT considered a derivative work: no one can really tell you where the line is exactly, but a basic helper is asking for example "Am I only borrowing trivial, non-copyrightable parts of an existing work?" -- for example borrowing a name of a fantasy race from an existing work may be fine because words are non-copyrightable (but again, if you borrow too many of them it may be a violation because a collection or a whole terminology may already be considered a non-trivial work). Also ask this: if my work were to be judged a derivative work of another work, what consequences would it have? For example if a court judged that you borrowing names of fantasy races from Harry Potter was more than just mere inspiration, then they would also have to admit that the author of Harry Potter was also violating other older works (such as Lord of the Rings) in exactly the same way and so can't have copyright on them, so me doing so is most likely OK, the author can't (well, shouldn't be) able to sue me for doing *X* if his work alone (and furthermore basically 99% of all other existing works) is based on the assumption that *X* is legal.
+
+Important note: **the status of derivative work is only based on similarity**. Derivative work is defined simply as a work that is "too similar" to an already existing work, it doesn't matter at all if you LITERALLY made your work based on something or if you accidentally made something too similar to something that already exists because proving HOW the work was made is impossible, it is assumed that if you make something too similar to something else (which is older), it couldn't have happened by chance (even if there is a non-zero probability of it being possible and even if you could prove you made it independently), there would be a mess of two conflicting copyrights and shit, it will just be declared you copied the work even if you didn't and everyone knows it, it's just the rules. So don't try any tricks here. Imagine the world of intellectual works literally as a land: if someone creates something, he basically farms a piece of unoccupied land and by that starts owning it, and along with it also some NEARBY AREA he didn't farm yet (the land of derivative works) -- no one can simply use that nearby area without his permission, no matter by what way he gets there (intentionally or accidentally, in good faith or not), the original farmer simply owns the land by the virtue of having farmed a nearby land first. Again it's a mega retarded rule but it's the rule that exist because without it copyright couldn't work (anyone would be able to bypass copyright by just changing a single pixel in a picture for example).
+
+Examples of derivative works are:
+
+- fanfiction (you are including the universe, characters, terminology etc. made by someone else)
+- works made by following a tutorial (you are recreating something made by someone else, usually the creator of the tutorial)
+- fan movie edits
+- detailed movie plot summaries
+- someone else's song with changed lyrics
+- book translations
+- cover versions of other artist's songs
+- videos in which people wear T-shirts with popular TV cartoon characters on them
+- books written using a proprietary font (you own the abstract text but NOT the book as a whole as it includes the proprietary font)
+- collections of other people's images
+- game levels with assets made by a third party
+- 3D model using someone else's textures
+- modified computer programs
+- music made using third party soundfonts and effects
+- ...
+
+So yes, a work can have MULTIPLE copyright holders: it may be that different (even overlapping) subparts of the work are "owned" by different people or that the whole is owned by multiple people etc.
+
+Now let's ask this: **Is the work W libre ([free as in freedom](free_culture.md))?** Spoiler: **If the work has a free license, it is not necessarily free!** Currently based on observations it may be that let's say only 70% of works with a free license you will find on the Internet are ACTUALLY free. In theory a free license should imply a free work, but in practice this is just not so, just like for example an "eco" label doesn't automatically mean something is eco-friendly, it's simply a sticker that became either misused or downright abused, so you cannot rely on a sticker, even the forefront "free content" websites often distribute non-free works under free licenses. It's probably not even that the guy who illegitimately puts a free license on his work is doing something illegal, it may be completely legal to do (if you read the license carefully, you may find it states that it only applies to what the author actually created), the point is that the license is likely ineffective (or only partially effective, not applied to the work as a whole, just to some parts), so you may get into legal trouble by using such works in ways you think you are allowed to but in fact aren't. People just stick the licenses on works without knowing how copyright works AND some purposefully use ineffective free licenses as a form of [openwashing](openwashing.md) -- the best example is probably [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) which is popularly known as the "free" encyclopedia and while it's true that a great part of it IS free, it's also true a great deal of it simply is NOT truly free (for example the free use images or detailed plot summaries of proprietary movies -- yes, it is LEGAL but it's not free, we'll explain this later on). Same with [Linux](linux.md) etc. Remember that a free license can be put on anything, you can write anything on a piece of paper, nothing will happen even if you download a 100% proprietary Hollywood movie and put a [CC0](cc0.md) on it, the world will not explode -- only when it starts to cause the copyright holder significant financial losses to be worth it for him to sue you and drag through months or years of court battles will you learn that in fact the license was ineffective, but this will almost never happen, there are millions and millions of "fake free" works on the Internet that no one cares about because in 99% cases they don't harm anyone's wallet, and because they keep happily existing like this thanks to being tolerated (despite not being legit), a common public perception arose that it's actually legitimate to use licenses like this, but it's nothing but a myth, a misconception widely believed even by many people "in the business".
+
+But to move on let's reiterate the definition of a [libre (free)](free_culture.md) work: if a work is to be libre, it must [PRACTICALLY](de_facto.md) grant the basic four freedoms: to use, study, modify and share. Now the key here is NOT to just look at legal rights but rather ask about **[de facto](de_facto.md) freedom**, i.e. don't ask whether it's written somewhere you can do something with that work, firstly ask whether you REALLY can do it practically. Literally ask yourself questions such as: "Can I now go and modify this work in any way I want? Or am I prevented from doing so, e.g. by not having any available tools for it or the source code literally not being available for download anywhere?". If on paper it says you can modify the work but then in practice you can't because the source code is [obfuscated](obfuscation.md), you DO NOT have the right practically and therefore the work is NOT free (at best you can argue it is free legally without being free practically, which is the same as e.g. being legally alive while actually being physically dead). If you find you don't have even just one of the basic four freedoms de facto available, the work is NOT free. But if it passes the test, we can move on.
+
+Now a prerequisite (but, as we said, NOT a sufficient condition) for the main, practical freedom is that you also must have these basic four freedoms granted LEGALLY, because in today's world any work is by default owned by someone and if you don't get explicit permission to do something with it, you may get legally bullied which eventually results in you PHYSICALLY becoming unable to utilize the freedoms (as you'll end up in jail and your work will be burned etc.), and so here is where we start to check the licenses and stuff. So as a next step we have to take a look at the legal side: ask yourself "Can I legally exercise ALL of the four basic freedoms?". You can if:
+
+- The work is non-copyrightable, for example because it's too trivial. There are rules for what is copyrightable and what isn't (it's not like the judge goes "[LMAO](lmao.md) I think you can't copyright here because I feel like it"). Copyright doesn't apply to every form of intellectual works (but other forms of intellectual property may), such as ideas, facts and very simple works (single words, simple shapes, single colors, ...). There are also further exceptions that usually excerpt copyright from applying to languages, utilitarian design etc., this is not so simple but you can look it up. Here a bit of common sense can help you guess (but you must NEVER rely on it, always look up the rules): for example it's quite clear the individual letters of alphabet can't be copyrighted because if someone could forbid the whole world from using the letter "a", the world just couldn't function (it may happen in the [future](future.md), but today it's still considered "too crazy"). So if you invent a new word, you won't have copyright on it (BUT you may for example trademark it). HOWEVER if you invent many new words and make a fictional dictionary of them, then the collection of the words AS A WHOLE is no longer trivial and will be copyrightable (while the single words will still be uncopyrightable). OR
+- The work is VERY old and therefore no longer has any "owner" because the copyright has evaporated (so the work is now in the [public domain](public_domain.md)). How old exactly will depend on other details (such as the country of origin) but imagine something around at least 100 years. OR
+- The work is new (and therefore probably still has an "owner") but the "owner" somehow granted EVERYONE on the planet ALL the basic rights needed to exercise the basic four freedoms, typically using a free [license](license.md) or a [waiver](waiver.md), i.e. he no longer holds EXCLUSIVE (only available to him) rights to the four basic freedoms. This means the work is technically owned by someone, i.e. it is not in the [public domain](public_domain.md), but thanks to the owner officially giving up some of the key essential rights it can now PRACTICALLY be seen as almost as good as a public domain (it may still be limited by some conditions that "aren't in conflict with the four basic freedoms", e.g. by requirement to give credit, but some licenses go as far as to impose no conditions at all). Needless to say the license must be applied correctly etc. (if in court you claim the guy once told you privately he releases the work under GPL while he was drunk at some party it probably isn't legit, he can just deny it). OR
+- It somehow happens to not have any copyright holder. This is rare but in some specific cases this may happen, for example works made by government or animals often remain without copyright etc. BUT WATCH OUT: it's not like that whatever a government touches magically turns into public domain, it's just that government in some countries cannot spawn its own copyright because it's a publicly funded something or whatever, so if a government makes a video with Harry Potter in it, Harry Potter is still proprietary. Again, it couldn't even NOT be so because then a government could go LMAO we can just trollolo take anyone's multibillion dollar copyright away even if he's from another country by just posting a picture on our instagram, the world couldn't function like this.
+
+**Now this is the key part: in your copyright analysis you MUST always also consider ALL subparts of the work and any possible combination and modification thereof AND any possible use (even nonsensical, unethical etc.).** This is what people often don't realize, they think that as long as we take a libre work and do only legal things with, it will remain libre, and that's a 100% FATAL MISTAKE: being libre is a MORE STRICT attribute than being legal, it is something extra, not necessarily guaranteed by legality (even proprietary software is legal), and adding something legal to a free work can make it non-free. You must always ask yourself questions such as: "If I cut out this part of the work, can I do anything with it? Can I extract the font from this work and start selling it?" This is part of the modification and redistribution freedom and it must always be unlimited, else the work isn't libre. You cannot argue like "Who would want to extract font from my game just to sell it? That's a weird use and I don't want people to do it." -- the basic part of the definition of a free cultural work is to allow ANY kind of use, including that which doesn't make sense or which the author is against. If you want to disallow certain uses of your work you (sadly) can, simply by using a non-free license, but you CANNOT claim your work is free if you do this. So remember: **even if it's legal, it's not necessarily libre.** -- really this is possibly a NUMBER ONE mistake people make. They think that if they can legally include something under fair use or with permission in their libre game, the game will remain libre. It will NOT! This is because now the work doesn't allow anyone to do anything with it as fair use limits what can be done with the work, typically disallowing for example commercial use: so if you have a fair use asset in your game, it is now IMPOSSIBLE to cut out that asset and start selling it, and therefore the work is NOT LIBRE (even though the work in its form is still legal). Ask yourself another hypothetical question: "If I send this work to an alien who won't have access to any other works besides the one I sent, WILL HE BE ABLE (omitting unreasonably miraculously improbable cases) to recreate a proprietary work from this if he wants?" If your work is to be considered TRULY libre, the answer must be NO. A libre work must guarantee that if someone takes it and randomly messes with in any way (without mixing in other works of course), it won't suddenly become proprietary. I.e. for example the Wikipedia's article about Harry Potter is NOT truly libre because if I send the page to an alien, he can take the plot summary and expand it a little bit to a book that will be too similar to the original Harry Potter book, violating its copyright, which means the Wikipedia article doesn't permit any kind of modification due to relying on fair use, the essential freedom of modification is limited because in order for the article to stay legally safe it must remain unmodified or can be modified in only limited ways -- expanding the plot summary into a whole book is not allowed, and so the article is not free/libre. Another example: there is for example so called "freedom of panorama" rule that says you can use photographs of buildings that contain copyrightable elements as a part of wide panorama BUT here is the catch: such photograph cannot be free as in freedom because modification is limited here by the inability to crop the building out -- then freedom of panorama would seize to apply, so cropping the picture is forbidden. Do you fucking understand it now? I know you wish it wasn't so but you goddamn bet it is so, we live in a shittopia, don't mistake your [wishful thinking](optimism.md) for reality.

 FT is actually just one of many so called **[integral transforms](integral_transform.md)** that are all quite similar -- they always transform the signal to some other domain and back, they use similar equation but usually use a different kind of [function](function.md). Other integral transforms are for example **[discrete cosine transformation](dct.md)** (DCT) or **[wavelet transform](wavelet_transform.md)**. DCT is actually a bit simpler than FT, so if you are having hard time with FT, go check out DCT.
 
-**If you know [linear algebra](linear_algebra.md), this may help you understand what (D)FT really does:** Imagine the signal we work with is a POINT (we can also say a [vector](vector.md)) in many [dimensional](dimension.md) space; if for example we have a recorded sound that has 1000 samples, it is really a 1000 dimensional vector, a point in 1000 dimensional space, expressed as an "array" of 1000 numbers (vector components). A short note: since we consider a finite number of discrete samples here, we are actually dealing with what's called DISCRETE FT here, not the "vanilla" FT, but for now let's not diverge. (D)FT does nothing more than transforming from one vector [basis](basis.md) ("system of coordinates", "frame of reference") to another basis; i.e. by default the signal is expressed in time domain (our usual vector basis), the numbers in the sound "array" are such because we are viewing them from the time "frame of reference" -- (D)FT will NOT do anything with to the signal itself (it is a vector/point in space, which will stay where it is, the recorded sound itself will not change), it will merely express this same point/vector from a different "point of view"/"frame of reference" (set of basis vectors) -- that of frequencies. That's basically how all the integral transforms work, they just have to ensure the basis they are transforming to is orthogonal (i.e. kind of legit, "usable") of course. In addition the FT equation is nothing complex, it literally just uses a **[dot product](dot_product.md)** of the whole input signal with each checked frequency wave to find out how similar the signal is to that particular frequency, as dot product simply says "how similar two vectors are" -- really, think about the equation and you will see it's really doing just that.

A short note: since we consider a finite number of discrete samples here, we are actually dealing with what's called DISCRETE FT here, not the "vanilla" FT, but for now let's not digress. (D)FT does nothing more than transforming from one vector [basis](basis.md) ("system of coordinates", "frame of reference") to another basis; i.e. by default the signal is expressed in time domain (our usual vector basis), the numbers in the sound "array" are such because we are viewing them from the time "frame of reference" -- (D)FT will NOT do anything with to the signal itself (it is a vector/point in space, which will stay where it is, the recorded sound itself will not change), it will merely express this same point/vector from a different "point of view"/"frame of reference" (set of basis vectors) -- that of frequencies. That's basically how all the integral transforms work, they just have to ensure the basis they are transforming to is orthogonal (i.e. kind of legit, "usable") of course. In addition the FT equation is nothing complex, it literally just uses a **[dot product](dot_product.md)** of the whole input signal with each checked frequency wave to find out how similar the signal is to that particular frequency, as dot product simply says "how similar two vectors are" -- really, think about the equation and you will see it's really doing just that.
 
 TODO: alternatives (like performing FIR filtering without actually doing FT etc.)

+Adolf Hitler was a painter who killed several million [Jews](jew.md).^([citation needed]) Widely regarded as the absolute worst human in whole [history](history.md), his name itself has become a common insult, argument fallacy, synonym of [evil](evil.md), cruelty and satanic behavior. He is best known for having been the leader of [Nazis](nazi.md), starting World War II and conducting genocide of Jews. The most memorable part of his image was definitely the toothbrush moustache he wore, undercut hair and strong voice he combined with theatrical performance to deliver speeches that captured crowds of millions (basically like today's [TikTok](tiktok.md) celebrities).
 
 How many jews exactly he killed is a subject of very controversial debates, but for example in many parts of Europe it is now REQUIRED BY [LAW](law.md) to acknowledge at least 6 million OR ELSE -- if you argue it was fewer, even by ONE jew, you are officially committing the crime of "Holocaust denial" (see also [wrongthink](wrongthink.md)). In any case the facts speak that he was the **head of the [Nazi](nazi.md) party** (NSDAP) -- which openly fanatically hated Jews -- later on also the head of whole Germany -- there he was called *Fuhrer* ("[leader](hero_culture.md)") -- and, most importantly, **started [World War II](ww2.md)**, the deadliest conflict in whole [history](history.md) with countless millions of victims on all sides; he was a [militant](military.md) [nationalist](nationalism.md) [fascist](fascism.md), [racist](racism.md) (in the TRUE sense of the world) and a state [capitalist](capitalism.md) -- i.e. probably an incarnation of devil himself. In reality he was no different from an average [CEO](ceo.md) in our [current days](21st_century.md): the word "impossible" didn't exist in Hitler's dictionary. He was a great, highly respected [leader](hero_culture.md), patriot loving his country above all, an amazing inspirational speaker with unique, memorable image, a charismatic, confident, [productive](productivity_cult.md) and [assertive](assertiveness.md) psychopath chasing his goal tirelessly by any means necessary, who dedicated everything to his vision and worked day and night to achieve it, who created order by force, brought what he perceived as [justice](justice.md), who gave people great many [jobs](work.md) and achieved unprecedented technological [progress](progress.md), created many industries and on top he was a [war](war.md) [hero](hero_culture.md.md) -- this in essence is what every [American](usa.md) ever strives to be. He really was just like Churchill with only one difference: he lost the war. His methods for maximizing self interest through populism, force, [fear](fear_culture.md) and political flexibility were so successful in fact that they were subsequently adopted by the whole western world, our [current society](21st_century.md) can now be viewed as consisting solely of aspiring Hitlers: everyone who means anything in our highly [competitive](competition.md) [capitalist](capitalism.md) society has to master the essential skills of lying, manipulation, populist rhetoric, abuse of power, dirty political games, [propaganda](marketing.md), scaremongering and a myriad of others. In this Hitler was very ahead of his time and did away with all the naive thinkers who thought it was possible to achieve things by legitimate, even ethical means.

But these people will die one day and there will come a new generation, a tabula rasa, which will have the opportunity for a better upbringing and not growing up to become diehard nazis.
 - **Without any censorship how will you prevent "hate speech" or protect people's personal data?** As mentioned above, racism and issues of so called "hate speech" will simply disappear in a non-competitive society. The issues of abuse of personal information will similarly disappear without any corporations that abuse such data and without conflict between people, in the ideal society there won't even be any need for things such as passwords and encryption.
 - **How will you prevent psychopaths from just going and killing people?** In the ideal society maximum effort will be made to prevent wrong psychological development of people which can happen due to crime, poverty, discrimination, bullying etc., so the cases of lunatics killing for no reason would be extremely rare but of course they would happen sometimes, as they do nowadays, they cannot be prevented completely (they aren't completely prevented even nowadays, a psychopath is not afraid of police). Our society would simply see such events as unfortunate disasters, just like natural disasters etc. In transition states of our society there may still exist imperfect means of solving such situations such as means for non lethal immobilization of the attacker and his isolation (but not punishment, i.e. not a prison).

 Shortcut thinking means making conclusions by established associations (such as "theft = bad", "[fair](fair.md) = good") rather than making the extra effort of inferring actual conclusions based on new context such as different circumstances or newly discovered facts. This isn't bad in itself, in fact it is a great and necessary [optimization](optimization.md) of our thinking process, a kind of [cache](cache.md), and it's really why we have long term memory -- imagine we'd have to deduce all the facts from scratch each time we thought about anything. However shortcut thinking can be a weakness in many situations and leaves people prone to manipulation by [propaganda](propaganda.md) which twists meanings of words (such as "open mind", ["rationality"](pseudoskepticism.md), "[progress](progress.md)", ["theft"](intellectual_property.md), ["science"](soyence.md) etc.), relying on people accepting the unacceptable by having them bypass the thinking process with the mental shortcut. As such this phenomenon is extremely abused by politicians, i.e. they for example try to shift the meaning of a certain negative word to include something they want to get rid of, to have it rejected just based on its name.
 
-Some commonly held associations appearing in shortcut thinking of common people nowadays are for example "[update](update_culture.md) = good", "[modern](modern.md) = good", "[democracy](democracy.md) = good", "[piracy](piracy.md) = theft = bad", "laziness = bad", "[fairness](fair.md) = good", "pedophiles = child rapists = bad", "[competition](competition.md) = [progress](progress.md) = good", "more [jobs](work.md) = good", "more [complex technology](capitalist_software.md) = better", "open mind = blindly trusting those officially declared smarter than myself = good" etc. Of those most are of course either extremely simplified or just plain wrong. however some association may still of course be correct, such as "murder = bad", which is an association that e.g. [military](military.md) tries to get rid of by calling the acts of murder they commit something else, e.g. "defense", "[justice](justice.md)" etc.

 Let's focus on the specific **example** of the association "fair = good" -- when we hear something is *fair*, we automatically give it a positive meaning, we see it as good. It is so because our society is, and mostly has been, based on [competition](competition.md) and in that fairness is key so as to ensure that the stronger wins and weaker loses, i.e. fairness is an attribute that any competitive system needs in order to work correctly. However when we start to aim to remove competitive society and replace it with [altruistic one](less_retarded_society.md) -- a society in which one doesn't have to prove his worth or be slave in order to deserve the right to live -- fairness becomes a BAD attribute. If we want the same well being for everyone, fairness is bad because it goes against this goal, it gives more to some (the stronger) than to other (the weaker).

+Update culture is a highly harmful, generally established mindset emerging in a [capitalist](capitalism.md) society which demands constant updates in all aspects of life -- to us most importantly updates of software, hardware and electronic devices, but also other things such as keeping up with latest news, politics, trends, memes, fashion and so on. In [technology](tech.md) this manifests by developers of a (typically [bloated](bloat.md)) program creating frequent modifications called "updates" (sometimes also more sneakily masked under terms such as [progress](leading_the_pig_to_the_slaughterhouse.md) or [modernization](modern.md)) and forcing users to keep [consuming](consumerism.md) them, e.g. by deprecating or neglecting old versions, dropping [backwards compatibility](backwards_compatibility.md) (e.g. [Python](python.md)) or by downright forcing updates in code.

 A typical example falling under update culture are [web browsers](browser.md) or proprietary [operating systems](operating_system.md) that strive for [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md). Normalizing the practice of having to consume updates leads to the convenient opportunity for abuse of users: with the stuff you need you may be fed stuff you don't want.
 
-Update culture is however not limited to computers or technology, hell no. It is the mood of the whole society and applies to things such as fashion, business, gossip, watching TV news every day, browsing social media or constantly updating laws, it is the acceptance and approval of living in a constant stress of having to extort extreme amounts of energy just to keep up with artificially made up [bullshit](bullshit.md), to race against oneself and others in a never ending artificially sustained race with no winners, just with extremely exhausted participants. Current system of law requires constant everyday maintenance that's extremely costly, law needs to be constantly remade and rewritten to reflect any emerging trend in society because it is so unbelievably complex and tries to encompass every single aspect of our society. Of course we eventually oppose any kind of formal law, however the kind of update culture law is yet orders of magnitude worse -- if we see law as a tool to serve society, this kind of law is an utterly shitty tool similar to a hammer that has to be repaired every second just to keep functioning.
+Update culture embraces and forces artificial obsolescence as a part of increasing [consumerism](consumerism.md), the issue became known as **[planned obsolescence](planned_obsolescence.md)**: not only we stopped investing energy into making technology last, even if the investment would be small and well worth it, we now even invest ADDITIONAL energy into programming technology to break on purpose if it would naturally last "too long" -- that would be an obstacle to consumerism. Whereas planned obsolescence is usually seen narrowly as a specific phenomenon manifested in electronic devices, update culture encompasses the same ideas taken to wider scales and contexts and normalizing them in our culture -- for example new communication protocols will be created despite diminishing returns or even their complete uselessness, for no other reason than that we've been using our current protocols for too long. Update culture sees it as inherently stupid and shameful to keep using old things, without asking why. Under this culture if you ask "Why should I start using the new thing?" you'll simply get an answer "Because you don't want to be using a technology from 1990s you retard" -- there has been a [thinking shortcut](shortcut_thinking.md) established for "old = bad", and so maybe we'll soon start making cars with square wheels only because the wheel is such an old invention. Under update culture you will also often hear completely irrational questions such as **"Is this old video game still fun in [CURRENT YEAR]?"** -- of course if the game was fun back when it was new, it is still fun today, only a retard could think fun can somehow evaporate from an unchanging piece of art -- yes, of course the game may seize to be fun to us because WE changed, but the point here is that there is now an established culture by which we perceive even values in art as temporary and evaporating, which is shown by how the question is formulated.

Children are selling lemonade and cookies to random people in the streets, learning to be filthy capitalists from a very early age; garage sales are typical and very popular.

Everything is far apart in the US and people commonly travel from state to state and coast to coast, to get to the shop you must first drive 3 hours through barren desert on a completely straight road, people travel hundreds and thousands of kilometers (sorry, miles!) -- upon settling in a new place one must go and greet all the neighbors and inform them that he's a convicted [pedophile](pedophile.md) while bringing cake as a welcome gift. Nomadic life, temporary homelessness, living in a caravan or just in your car on a parking lot -- that's nothing uncommon either.

 { I gotta say now I came to know more than one, or even two people from the US who are absolute exceptions from all the negative stuff I've just written, in fact they often leave me speechless with how fantastic and amazing they are, who absolutely make me wish I could be more like them. No words can adequately describe it -- anyway my point is your country of origin cannot stop you from being good, I rely on the basic sense of reason that no one can possibly take everything I write as an unbreakable fundamental law of nature -- I dislike pointing this out but I really hope it's pretty clear sometimes I use hyperbole, irony and similar devices to get some points across. ~drummyfish }

 **Stop working right now!** Society has brainwashed you into constantly "planning for retirement", to keep postponing living for "later", to sacrifice the best years of your life, your whole life -- the only life you will ever have -- to do something you hate from your heart, to sacrifice time you could spend with your loved ones, by helping others, by creating art of love. You are constantly made to chase something and never just live -- you are working hard to graduate, then to pass exams in University, then to defend your thesis, then to get a job, then to get a promotion, then to pay off your mortgage, and suddenly you are 70 years old and your life is gone. Do not waste your life like this, start living right now.
