 **How will programming in assembly differ from your mainstream high-level programming?** Quite a lot, assembly is extremely low level, so you get no handholding or much programming "safety" (apart from e.g. CPU operation modes), you have to do everything yourself -- for example assembly languages are **untyped**, i.e. no one is going to offer or check your data types, everything is just 1s and 0s. You will also be dealing with things such as function [call conventions](call_convention.md), call stack and call frames, [interrupts](interrupt.md), overflows, [system calls](syscall.md) and their conventions, counting CPU cycles of individual instructions, looking up exact hexadecimal memory addresses, studying opcodes, defining memory segments, dealing with [endianness](endianness.md), raw [goto](goto.md) jumps, manual [memory management](memory_management.md) etc. You have no branching (if-then-else), loops or functions, you make these yourself with gotos. You can't write expressions like `(a + 3 * b) / 10`, no, you have to write every single step of how to evaluate this expression using registers, i.e. something like: load *a* to register *A*, load *b* to register *B*, multiply *B* by 3, add register *B* to *A*, divide *A* by 10. As said, you don't have any [data types](data_type.md), you have to know yourself that your variables really represent let's say a signed value so when you're dividing, you have to use signed divide instruction instead of unsigned divide -- if you mess this up, no one will tell you, your program simply won't work. And so on.
 
+**Is assembly usable for programming complex programs?** Yes, it's perfectly possible and usable unless you're a retard, games such as Roller Coaster Tycoon or Pokemon Crystal were written in assembly, there is no reason why anything of any complexity couldn't be written in assembly.

 ## Typical Assembly Language
 
 Assembly languages are usually unstructured, i.e. there are no control structures such as `if` or `while` statements: these have to be manually implemented using labels and jump ([goto](goto.md), branch) instructions. There may exist macros that mimic control structures. The typical look of an assembly program is however still a single column of instructions with arguments, one per line, each representing one machine instruction.

As one starts playing chess, he seems to more and more discover that it's really all about studying and practice more than anything else, at least up until the highest master levels where the genius gifts a player the tiny nudge needed for the win -- at the grandmaster level intelligence seems to start to matter more. Intelligence is perhaps more of an accelerator of learning, not any hard limit on what can be achieved, however also just having fun and liking chess (which may be just given by upbringing etc.) may have similar accelerating effects on learning.

 **How to play chess with yourself?** Should you lack a computer or humans to play against, you may try playing against yourself, however playing a single game against oneself doesn't really work, you know what the opponent is trying to do -- not that it's not interesting, but it's more of a search for general strategies in specific situations rather than actually playing a game. One way around this could be to play many games at once (you can use multiple boards but also just noting the positions on paper as you probably won't be able to set up 100 boards); every day you can make one move in some selected games -- randomize the order and games you play e.g. with dice rolls. The number of games along with the randomized order should make it difficult for you to remember what the opponent (you) was thinking on his turn. Of course you can record the games by noting the moves, but you may want to cover the moves (in which case you'll have to be keeping the whole positions noted) until the game is finished, so that you can't cheat by looking at the game history while playing. If this method doesn't work for you because you can keep up with all the games, at least you know you got real good at chess :) { This is an idea I haven't tried yet, I'm leaving it here as a note, will probably try it one day. ~drummyfish } Also check out single player chess variants.

 **White is generally seen as having a slight advantage over black** (just like in [real life](irl.md) lol). This is because he always has the first move -- statistics confirm the claim as white on average wins a little more often (even in the world of computers which is spared of psychological factors). The advantage is very small, estimated by engines to be around a very small fraction of a pawn, and this slight imbalance doesn't play such as big role in beginner and intermediate games but starts to become apparent in master games where the play can be very equal. How big the advantages is exactly is a matter of ongoing debate, most people are of the opinion there exists a small advantage for the white (with imperfect, human play, i.e. that white plays easier, has more choices, tolerates slightly less accurate play), though most experts think chess is a draw with perfect play (pro players can usually quite safely play for a draw and secure it if they don't intend to win; world championships mostly consist of drawn games as really one player has to make a mistake to allow the other one to win). Minority of experts think white has theoretical forced win. Probably only very tiny minority of people think white doesn't have any advantage or even that black is in a better overall position. Some argue that even if black doesn't have an overall advantage, he still has a number of smaller advantages over white, as it's true that sometimes the obligation to make a move may be a disadvantage (this is called [zugzwang](zugzwang.md)). It's for example true that the theoretical fastest possible checkmate is delivered by black, not white. Probably no one thinks black has a forced win though, but as that's not disproved yet so maybe someone actually believes it.
 
-**Blindfold play**: it's quite impressive that very good players can play completely blindfold, without any actual chessboard, and some can even play many games simultaneously this way. This is indeed not easy to do and playing blindfold naturally decreases one's strength a bit (it seems this is more of a case on lower level of play though). It is however not the case that only an exceptional genius could play this way, probably anyone can learn it, it's just a matter of training (it's a matter of developing an efficient mental representation of the board rather than actually exactly remembering the whole board -- in psychology called *chunking*).

It may possibly also be done very gradually -- for example start by covering just part of the board and every week cover yet more squares; eventually you'll have them all covered.

 On **perfect play**: as stated, chess is unlikely to be ever solved so it is unknown if chess is a theoretical forced draw or forced win for white (or even win for black), however many simplified endgames and some simpler chess variants have already been solved. Even if chess was ever solved, it is important to realize one thing: **perfect play may be unsuitable for humans** and so even if chess was ever solved, it might have no significant effect on the game played by humans. Imagine the following: we have a chess position in which we are deciding between move *A* and move *B*. We know that playing *A* leads to a very good position in which white has great advantage and easy play (many obvious good moves), however if black plays perfectly he can secure a draw here. We also know that if we play *B* and then play perfectly for the next 100 moves, we will win with mathematical certainty, but if we make just one incorrect move during those 100 moves, we will get to a decisively losing position. While computer will play move *B* here because it is sure it can play perfectly, it is probably better to play *A* for human because human is very likely to make mistakes (even a master). For this reason humans may willingly choose to play mathematically worse moves -- it is because a slightly worse move may lead to a safer and more comfortable play for a human. This fact has also recently been demonstrated by a modified Leela engine that specifically focuses on handicapped play (playing without one knight or rook) against humans -- even though Stockfish is objectively a better engine than Leela, this specific Leela version achieves better results under stated conditions, i.e. it more often beats human grandmasters in odds games, and that's because it learned to play moves that are not objectively methematically best, but rather best AGAINST HUMANS, i.e. creating confusion, tension, tricky and unusual situations and psychological pressure that favor precise engines.

This is an extremely dangerous argument because somehow 99.999999999999999999% people believe this could be true and accept it as a comforting argument so that they can continue their daily lives and do absolutely nothing about the disastrous state of society. The argument is of course completely false for a number of reasons: firstly corporations exclusively hire psychopaths for manager roles -- any corporation that doesn't do this will be eliminated by natural selection of the market environment because it will be weaker in a [fight](fight_culture.md) against other corporations, and its place will be taken by the next aspiring corporation waiting in line. Secondly corporations are highly sophisticated machines that have strong **mechanisms preventing any ethical behavior** -- for example division of labor in the "[just doing my job](just_doing_my_job.md)"/"[everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md)" style allows for many people collaborating on something extremely harmful and unethical without any single one feeling responsibility for the whole, or sometimes without people even knowing what they are really collaborating on. Saying corporation is like a human because it contains humans is like saying a human is like water because he's in big part composed of water.
 
 Somehow people are surprised when they see let's say a game company make huge hypes and promises of revolutionary new games and then delivering a completely different, absolutely shitty product (e.g. Warcraft Reforged, GTA "definitive" edition, Cyberpunk and countless other scams) -- "How can this company be so evil and lie so blatantly? Don't they know lying is bad? How can they promise something they can't make? Don't they care about their customers? Don't they think this will make people sad?" Of course not, lying is profitable and there is no one who's to blame in the company -- the [marketing](marketing.md) department's task is to just maximize hype and attention, their job is only to make promises and they know it's the developer's job to deliver on those promises, and on the other hand the developer's job is to just do what he can and not care about marketing and PR, from his point of view unrealistic promise is the marketing department's fail. I.e. both are just doing their job, they don't even have any other choice (else they get fired), no one is responsible, no one feels any guilt. This is a corporation using human intelligence while removing human conscience.

He spent his childhood happily in times when [memes](meme.md) didn't exist yet, when households didn't normally have computers, yet alone [Internet](internet.md), and people didn't even own cell phones, when TV with three channels in total was the peak of technology. Drummyfish's family got their first computer in 1997, with [Windows](windows.md) 3.1, of course, without any access to the [Internet](internet.md), just plain old horizontal-case PC with CRT, ball [mouse](mouse.md) and a floppy drive. At that time he became fascinated with games such as [Wolf3D](wold3d.md) and Duke Nukem 2 -- that's when he decided he wanted to one day be making his own [games](game.md). He became deeply fascinated with computers, cell phones and video games and asked himself "How are video games made? How is it possible to program ANYTHING?". He thought about this before sleep and even came up with an idea of [flowcharts](flowchart.md), a visual language with which it would be possible to "program anything". Even though his family didn't have too much money, he cried and cried all days until he achieved a [Gameboy](gameboy.md) Color, and later on even Gameboy Advance! He was extremely happy about it and played [Pokemon](pokemon.md) (Yellow, Crystal and Emerald) all day and night, however many years later he would realize the Gameboys were nowehere to be found and therefore lost -- what a disaster! As the family PC got upgraded, he was able to start playing the newest hits and came to love especially [Warcraft III](warcraft3.md) (played as Orc), [Trackmania](trackmania.md), [Quake 3](quake3.md), The Elder Scrolls (Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim) and much later also [World of Warcraft](wow.md) (since vanilla, quit during WotLK, played tauren warrior named *Drummy*). His family acquired permanent Internet connection at home in 2006, as drummyfish was leaving elementary school.
 
 { Why doxx myself? Following the [LRS](lrs.md) philosophy, I believe information should be free.

What's that schizo shit? It won't work, we don't even have to try. Our top [shamanism](soyence.md) popularizator says it's BS so we believe him. Numbers beyond 10? You mean infinity?

Drummyfish says things like "stop [competition](competition.md)", "stop nationalism", "stop bullshit like political correctness", "adopt true [minimalism](minimalism.md)", and people are like "LMAO stop that utopia bullshit [pedo](pedophilia.md), competition is necessary for human organism to physically function because Neil de grass told me that on TV, take your schizo potions, minimalism will never work because it's nonintuitive and it isn't good for the economy gods".

 Encyclopedia (also encyclopaedia, cyclopedia or cyclopaedia, from Greek *enkyklios paideia*, roughly "general education") is a large [book](book.md) (or a series of books) providing structured summary of wide knowledge in one or many fields of knowledge (such as [mathematics](math.md), [history](history.md), engineering, general knowledge etc.), usually structured as a collection of alphabetically ordered articles on terms used in the field. Paper encyclopedias are oftentimes printed in several volumes as the amount of contained information is too great for a single book (in large ones you may even see one or two volumes dedicated ONLY for the [index](index.md)). The largest and most famous encyclopedia to date is the online [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) created by volunteers in [free culture](free_culture.md) spirit, however Wikipedia suffers from significant issues such as [censorship](censorship.md), high political propaganda and low quality of writing, therefore it is crucial to also stay interested in other encyclopedias such as Britannica, Americana or [LRS wiki](lrs_wiki.md).
 
-**Encyclopedias are [awesome](awesome.md)**, get as many of them as you can, especially the printed ones -- they are usually relatively cheap (especially second hand books) and provide an ENORMOUS amount of information, FOREVER (no one can cancel your physically owned paper book, you will retain it even after the [collapse](collapse.md) when such books will become practically your only source of human knowledge). Also remember, paper books are still of much higher quality than online resources such as [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) -- even if they lose in terms of shear volume, they make up in quality of writing and still many times contain information that's not available online, and the older ones are more objective and trustworthy, considering the decline of [free speech](free_speech.md) online. Shorter articles may also do a better job at providing overall summary of a topic and filtering out less important information, as opposed to a gigantic Wikipedia article. Furthermore even if such a book isn't [free as in freedom](free_culture.md), the knowledge, information and data contained in it is in the [public domain](public_domain.md) as such things cannot (yet) be owned, therefore it is possible to legally paraphrase the information into a new source which we may make public domain itself (however watch out to not merely copy-paste texts from encyclopedias as text CAN be [copyrighted](copyright.md), as well as e.g. the mere selection of which facts to include; always be very careful).

 **Similar terms:** encyclopedias, which also used to be called **cyclopedias** in the past, are similar to **dictionaries** and these types of books often overlap (many encyclopedias call themselves dictionaries); the main difference is that a dictionary focuses on providing linguistic information and generally has shorter term definitions, while encyclopedias have longer articles (which however limits their total number, i.e. encyclopedias will usually prefer quality over quantity). Encyclopedias are also a subset of so called **reference works**, i.e. works that serve to provide [information](information.md) and reference to it (other kinds of reference works being e.g. world maps, tabulated values or [API](api.md) references). A **universal/general** encyclopedia is one that focuses on human knowledge at wide, as opposed to an encyclopedia that focuses on one specific field of knowledge. **Compendium** can be seen almost as a synonym to encyclopedia, with encyclopedias perhaps usually being more general and extensive. **Almanac** is also similar to encyclopedia, more focusing on tabular data. **Micropedia** is another term, sometimes used to denote a smaller encyclopedia (one edition of Britannica came with a micropedia as well as a larger macropedia). There are also **catalogs** which often serve commercial purposes but in practice can be useful as well. [World wide web](www.md) recently invented a new form of encyclopedia: a so called **[wiki](wiki.md)** that's essentially a purely electronic, constantly changing and [updating](update_culture.md) encyclopedia (i.e. changes aren't published periodically but instantly) with hyperlinked (containing clickable links in the text) articles, typically edited by many different people, very often unpaid volunteers.

Even that who is normally anti fascist has a breaking point, under extreme pressure of fear one starts to seek purely selfish goals. This is why e.g. [capitalism](capitalism.md) fuels [fear culture](fear_culture.md): it makes people fascists which is a prerequisite for becoming a capitalist.

feminism.md

@@ -12,7 +12,7 @@ A quite nice article on feminism can also be found on the [incel](incel.md) wiki
 
 If anything's clear, then that feminism is not at all about gender equality but about hatred towards men and female superiority. Firstly feminism is not called *gender equality movement* but *feminism*, i.e. for-female, literally "womanism", and as we know, [name plays a huge role](name_is_important.md). Imagine this: if you asked feminists if they could right now implement matriarchy in society, i.e. female ruling over man, how many of them do you think would answer "no"? There is not even a shadow of a doubt a vast majority would absolutely answer "yes", we may at best argue about if it would be 85% or 99% of them. So the question of feminist goals is absolutely clearly answered, there is no point in trying to deny it. To a feminist a man is what a [jew](jew.md) was to the Nazi or what the Christian was to the Romans who famously hunted Christians down and fed them to the lions because they refused to bow to their polytheist ideology (nowadays analogous to e.g. refusing to practice [political correctness](political_correctness.md)). The whole story is repeated again, we have yet again not learned a bit from our [history](history.md). Feminism is exactly the same as [Nazism](nazism.md), just replace "Aryan race" with "woman gender", "jew" with "man" and Nazi uniforms with pink hair. Indeed, in some areas women might have historically been "oppressed" (even though in other areas they were highly privileged, such as not having to die in wars, not having to work as hard, being saved first, ...) and often needed support, but once women reach social equality -- which has basically already happened a long time ago now -- feminist movement will, if only by [social inertia](social_inertia.md), keep pursuing more advantages for women (what else should a movement called *feminism* do?), i.e. at this point the new goal has already become female superiority. In the age of capital no one is going to just dissolve a movement because it has already reached its goal, such a movement present political capital one will simply not throw out of window, so feminists will forever keep saying they're being oppressed and will forever keep inventing new bullshit issues to keep [fighting](fight_culture.md). Note for example that feminists care about things such as wage gap but of course absolutely don't give a damn about opposite direction inequality, such as men dying on average much younger than women, committing significantly more suicides or much more often (over 70%) being homeless etc. -- feminism cares about women, not equality. If the wage gap became reversed, i.e. women earned on average more than men, do you think a Feminist wouldn't be happy? No answer is needed. And of course, when men establish "men rights" movements, suddenly feminists see those as "fascist", "toxic" and "violent" and try to destroy such movements. Closing gaps is not how you achieve equality -- on the contrary it's only how you stir up hostility and physically reshape women into men (by closing the height gap, boob size gap, penis length gap, brain size gap and any kind of gap that may potentially have any significance in sports, art or culture at all). [Making gaps not matter](less_retarded_society.md) is how you truly achieve equality. But Feminists won't go that way exactly because they are against equality.
 
-Due to feminism it is [nowadays](21st_century.md) completely normal and socially accepted to promote "woman pride"; in bigger companies for example it's common for female employees to end their emails with a signature stating "woman power". But what if a male employee used "male power" in his signature? He'd be fired on the spot, if not sued for "hate speech". Is this supposed to be the equality promised by feminism?

 Gopher **doesn't use any [encryption](encryption.md)** (though some servers allow access via [Tor](tor.md)... actually there's also some kinda encrypted "gophers" protocol too, but still it seems encrypting is thankfully not so popular at this point). **This is good, encryption is [bloat](bloat.md)**. Gopher also doesn't really know or care about [Unicode](unicode.md) and similar bloat (which mostly serves trannies to insert emojis of pregnant men into readmes anyway, we don't need that), it's basically just [ASCII](ascii.md) (of course you can employ Unicode as gopher just transfers files really, it's just that Unicode is not part of gopher's specification and most people prefer to keep it ASCII). Gopher's simple design is intentional, the authors deemed simplicity a [good](good.md) feature. Gopher is so simple that you may very well write your own client and server and comfortably use them -- **you can even browse gopher just by manually using [telnet](telnet.md)** to communicate with the server.

 **How big is/was gopherspace?** In 1994 there were over 1300 gopher servers (source: 1994 book *Finding it on the Internet"*), around 1995 there were already more than 6000  (source: 1995 video *Searching the Internet - Gopher | The Internet Revealed*). Most of them are now gone, in 2005 there were only 145 servers reported by Veronica search engine (source: *2007 gopher archive*), though Gopher recently saw a new wave of popularity. As of 2023 the Veronica search engine reported 315 gopher servers in the world with 5+ million indexed selectors, which they estimated was 83% of the whole gopherspace (the peak server count was in 2020 at almost 400). Quarry search engine reports 369 servers and 1+ million indexed selectors. Contrition search engine reported even 495 servers and 7+ million selectors. The "grawler" crawler of gopherspace.de reported 192 active servers at the beginning of 2016, 182 in 2020, 413 in 2023 (bumped its search list) and 380 in 2024. Gopher LAWN directory (made by [bitreich](bitreich.md)) contains 281 selected quality gopher holes.
 
 From the user's perspective **the most important distinction from the Web** is that gopher is based on **menus** instead of "webpages"; a menu is simply a column of items of different predefined types, most importantly e.g. a *text file* (which clients can directly display), *directory* (link to another menu), *text label* (just shows some text), *binary file* etc. A menu can't be formatted or visually changed, there are no colors, images, scripts or [hypertext](hypertext.md) -- a menu is not a presentation tool, it is simply a navigation node towards files users are searching for (but the mentioned ASCII art and label items allow for somewhat mimicking "websites" anyway). Gopher is also often **browsed from the [command line](cli.md)**, though graphical clients are a thing too. Addressing works with [URLs](url.md) just as the Web, the URLs just differ by the protocol part (`gopher://` instead of `http://`), e.g.: `gopher://gopher.floodgap.com:70/1/gstats`. What on Web is called a "website" on gopher we call a **gopherhole** or just *hole* (i.e. a collection of resources usually under a single [domain](domain.md)) and the whole gopher network is called a **gopherspace**. [Blogs](blog.md) are common on gopher and are called **phlogs** (collectively a *phlogosphere*). As menus can refer to one another, gopher creates something akin to a **global [file system](file_system.md)**, so browsing gopher is like browsing folders and can comfortably be handled with just 4 arrow keys. Note that as menus can link to any other menu freely, the structure of the "file system" is not a [tree](tree.md) but rather a general [graph](graph.md). Another difference from the Web is gopher's great emphasis on **[plaintext](plaintext.md) and [ASCII art](ascii_art.md)** as it cannot embed images and other media in the menus (even though of course the menus can link to them). There is also a support for sending text to a server so it is possible to implement [search engines](search_engine.md), guest books, [games](game.md) etc.

 Morality is very similar to **[ethics](ethics.md)**, to the point of often being used interchangeably, however we may still find slight differences. While morality is seen as something personal and intuitive, greatly driven by conscience and judged on a case-by-case basis, ethics is perceived more as a set of informal, often unwritten shared rules to assure morality in a larger group of individuals, i.e. ethics is an agreement on a way of behavior between individuals, each of which may have slightly different personal morals. Ethics is also sometimes defined as the branch of [philosophy](philosophy.md) concerned with examining morality.
 
-**Morality is much different from legality.** Ideally it is said that laws should be the minimum (a proper [subset](subset.md)) of morality, i.e. laws should be the officially codified, approved and enforced rules that ensure the very basic moral behavior is sustained, such as people not murdering others, however laws CANNOT with the best of our effort ever capture the infinitely complex nature of morals (no one can ever write down EXACTLY what is and isn't moral in every single imaginable situation that can arise in real world), so it is seen as inevitable that laws will always allow some slightly immoral actions (imagine e.g. someone giving a bad advice to someone else on purpose just to see the other one fail -- this may be legal but is likely immoral). This is accepted because the other option, i.e. law trying to prevent ALL immoral behavior, would be too restrictive and would also inevitably prevent a huge amount of moral, useful and essential behavior; imagine e.g. law trying to prevent giving bad advice by banning all communication altogether. However, this ideal of "laws as a minimum of morals" doesn't hold in practice because law is hugely abused and manipulated to serve the evil, so not only does it allow immoral behavior (which would be kind of OK), it BANS moral behavior (which is unacceptable from the idealist point of view), for example it is prohibited to share useful information ("[intellectual property](intellectual_property.md)"), repairing ([DRM](drm.md)), living in an abandoned house one doesn't "officially own" etc. Furthermore laws themselves in principle have a negative effect on morality because **people unfortunately start replacing morality with legality**; as laws get more complex and in control of our everyday lives, people only start deciding and judging actions based on a question of "is it legal?" rather than "is it moral?" -- indeed, if nowadays you accuse someone of doing something wrong, he will almost definitely reply something along the lines of "I can legally do that so shut up." (perhaps just with varying degrees of politeness). Indeed, whenever a new issue appears [nowadays](21st_century.md), people hardly even think about solving it in any other way than by making laws to solve the issue -- as an example shortly after a few fatal incident occurred some time in early 2010s due to the new trend of "planking" (people making photos of themselves lying face down in weird places), people immediately started to call for LEGAL bans of planking, not even thinking of what consequences this would have -- literally making it illegal to lie face down on the ground. Laws destroy morality, hence laws have to be canceled (see [anarchism](anarchism.md)) and we have to focus only on developing our sense of morality better.
+Let's also stress that **morality is much different from legality.** It is said that, ideally, laws should be the minimum (a proper [subset](subset.md)) of morality, i.e. laws should be the officially codified, approved and enforced rules that ensure the very basic moral behavior is sustained, such as people not murdering others, however laws CANNOT with the best of our effort ever capture the infinitely complex nature of morals (no one can ever write down EXACTLY what is and isn't moral in every single imaginable situation that can arise in real world), so it is seen as inevitable that laws will always allow some slightly immoral actions (imagine e.g. someone giving a bad advice to someone else on purpose just to see the other one fail -- this may be legal but is likely immoral). This is accepted because the other option, i.e. law trying to prevent ALL immoral behavior, would be too restrictive and would also inevitably prevent a huge amount of moral, useful and essential behavior; imagine e.g. law trying to prevent giving bad advice by banning all communication altogether. However, this ideal of "laws as a minimum of morals" doesn't hold in practice because law is hugely abused and manipulated to serve the evil, so not only does it allow immoral behavior (which would be kind of OK), it BANS moral behavior (which is unacceptable from the idealist point of view), for example it is prohibited to share useful information ("[intellectual property](intellectual_property.md)"), repairing ([DRM](drm.md)), living in an abandoned house one doesn't "officially own" etc. Furthermore laws themselves in principle have a negative effect on morality because **people unfortunately start replacing morality with legality**; as laws get more complex and in control of our everyday lives, people only start deciding and judging actions based on a question of "is it legal?" rather than "is it moral?" -- indeed, if nowadays you accuse someone of doing something wrong, he will almost definitely reply something along the lines of "I can legally do that so shut up." (perhaps just with varying degrees of politeness). Indeed, whenever a new issue appears [nowadays](21st_century.md), people hardly even think about solving it in any other way than by making laws to solve the issue -- as an example shortly after a few fatal incident occurred some time in early 2010s due to the new trend of "planking" (people making photos of themselves lying face down in weird places), people immediately started to call for LEGAL bans of planking, not even thinking of what consequences this would have -- literally making it illegal to lie face down on the ground. Laws destroy morality, hence laws have to be canceled (see [anarchism](anarchism.md)) and we have to focus only on developing our sense of morality better.

 **[Venn diagrams](venn_diagram.md) are excellent for visualizing probabilities**. Imagine the space of all possibilities as a circle with area equal to 1 and then events as other smaller circles inside this circle. Area occupied by each circle is the corresponding event's probability. Now imagine performing an experiment as choosing ta random a point in the the big circle, for example by blindly throwing a dart. It's clear that the larger an event's circle is, the higher chance it has of being hit. Events with non-overlapping circles are mutually exclusive as there is no way the dart could ever land simultaneously in two non-overlapping areas. It's clear that the probability of one of several mutually exclusive events occurring is the sum of the corresponding circles' areas, just like stated by the equation above. Overlapping circles represent events allowed to happen simultaneously. Should events *x* and *y* overlap, then the conditional probability *P(x|y)* is the proportion of *x*'s area inside *y* to the whole area of *y*. And so on.
 
-**Probability distribution [functions](function.md)**: until now we've implicitly assumed that the all possible outcomes (events) of an experiment are equally likely to occur, i.e. that for instance each marble in a box has the same likelihood of being picked etc. In real life scenarios this frequently doesn't hold however, for example the likelihood of a human being born with red hair is lower than that of being born with dark hair (considering we don't have further information about parents etc.). This is modeled by so called *probability distribution function* -- this function says how likely each possible outcome is. For a finite number of discrete outcomes, such as possible hair colors, the functions may simply state the probability directly, e.g. *p_hair_color(black) = 0.75*, *p_hair_color(red) = 0.01* etc. For continuous values, such as human height, the situation gets slightly more complicated: the function cannot directly state a probability of a single value, only a probability of a value falling within certain INTERVAL. Consider e.g. asking about the probability of a human being exactly 1.75 meters tall? It's essentially 0 because anyone getting even very short of said height will always be at least a few micrometers off. So we should rather ask what's the probability of someone being between 1.75 and 1.76 meters tall? And this already makes good sense. For this continuous values are rather described by so called **probability density functions**, which must be [integrated](integral.md) over given interval in order to obtain a direct probability. There further exist equivalent kinds of functions such as cumulative distribution functions that say the probability of of the value being *x* or lower, but we won't delve into these now. Some of the most important probability distributions are **uniform** (all events are equally likely), **normal**, which is continuous, has the bell curve shape and describes many variables in nature, for example [IQ](iq.md) distribution or height of trees in a forest, and **binomial** (described below), which is a discrete distribution, in shape similar to normal distribution, saying probability of given number of successful experiments in a fixed number of experiments.

-Binomial distribution tells us the probability of seeing exactly *x* successful experiments if we perform *n* experiments in total. Given success probability *p*, it is computed as:
+The most basic distribution is **uniform**, one under which all events are equally likely, i.e. that which was our default assumption. It is kind of "most random" in the sense that we just lack any clue about what to expect. There is not much more to add here.
+
+**Normal** distribution is probably the second one to mention as it's very common and describes plenty of variables measured in [real life](irl.md), such as [IQ](iq.md), height of trees in a forest etc. It's a continuous distribution and always has two parameters: mean and standard deviation. Mean says the "center", "average" value, for example 100 for IQ. The curve has the bell shape, a kind of "hill" that's centered on the mean value, and whose width depends on the standard deviation parameter. In essence this distribution says that most likely values to be measured are the ones around the center (e.g. IQ 100), and values further and further away from the center (e.g. very low or high IQ) get progressively less likely to be observed. Normal distribution is so common in the nature because it is what we get when we average many variables with uniform distribution. Consider for example we let a computer generate 3 random numbers in the range 0 to 10 -- the likelihood of the average of these numbers being close to  the middle value, 5, is quite high because there are MANY WAYS to obtain such average (0, 5, 10; 5, 1, 9; 5, 5, 5; ...); however the likelihood of obtaining the average of 10 is very low because there is only one way to get it (10, 10, 10).
+
+**Binomial distribution** is another useful one -- a discrete distribution telling us the probability of seeing exactly *x* successful experiments if we perform *n* experiments in total. Given success probability *p*, it is computed as:
 
 *Bi(n,p,x) = binomial(n,x) * p^x * (1 - p)^(n - x)*

Of course it's not necessarily wrong to take the word of an expert, nonetheless the point here is that this simple idea is twisted and taken to such an extreme that it becomes a tool for exploitation of the people: now it is FORBIDDEN to NOT take the word of an "expert" on practically every part of your life that is not the one tiny and insignificant niche that you specialize in such as selling cars or photographing weddings (and even there if you oppose the consensus you'll likely be canceled and labeled "no longer an expert in that area"): there are now eye experts that will tell you what your eyes are seeing and ear experts telling you what your ears are hearing and unless you have a [PhD](phd.md) in eye or ear "science", you must trust them. So now a common folk is completely rid of all thinking, it is possible to implant any "facts" to everyone's heads. For example (this may happen to [the author](drummyfish.md) sooner or later) it is absolutely possible for the system to imprison an absolute pacifist -- who only ever advocated against any violence at all -- for the crime of inciting violence, even if there is complete and undeniable evidence, such as his website with all his writings, that the man never called for violence and in fact did the absolute opposite -- this is possible because no one will bother reading the evidence even when it's right in front of his eyes, or he just won't believe his eyes because he is simply waiting for an "expert" to translate the real world for him, and if said expert is skilled enough in mental gymnastic -- or just plain and simple lying -- he can just translate a sentence "NEVER use violence" into it "actually" meaning "I call everyone to use violence now!". This sounds stupids and it is, and it's how reality is nowadays -- just ask yourself this: when you see a mass shooter on the news, will you go download his manifesto, read through it and make your own judgment, or will you just wait for the summary of the manifesto they'll give you on the news?

 **Slavery has NOT been abolished.** On the contrary, more people than ever are enslaved, and the conditions don't much differ from those of slaves in older times -- they are sometimes even worse. How is it so? Well, firstly slavery back then wasn't as bad as you see in the movies (just like for example a typical day of a cop is much different from what you'll see in a movie, it's a fucking movie) where you usually see black men whipped to row ships or slaves dragging stones to the pyramids while being constantly whipped until falling dead from exhaustion -- indeed that did happen, as it still happens today here and there, but it wasn't so common, slaves were often owned by a family and were part of it. Yes, they were owned, but your [dog](dog.md) is also owned by you, and you still love it and take good care of it, don't you? The slave was a worker but many times had a good relationship with his master, just as you can have a good relationship with your boss (who by the way also owns you, this ownership was just renamed to a "work contract"); the master didn't take pleasure in torturing the slave or overworking him to death for fun, he wanted to keep him in good shape and happy so that he would live long and do work for him. The slave might have had a relatively good life -- if he could read and write he might have been a transcriber or teacher of the master's children; [Diogenes](diogenes.md) for example was a wise slave who had great respect of his master. A slave could many times save up money and buy his freedom in a few years if he desired. This is practically the same as a work contract: yes, you can TECHNICALLY cancel your work contract, but then you won't get food for living, so [de facto](de_facto.md) you are in exact same situation -- you must keep saving money to be able to buy your freedom, there is absolutely zero difference except for using different [words](euphemism.md). Today's propaganda paints historical slavery as much worse so as to make seem today's slavery not so bad -- yes, it was bad back then but it is possibly even worse today (12 or 14 hour shifts, working whole year round, repetitive psychologically draining work in a catacomb under constant camera surveillance, ...) -- the only changes that we made are just cosmetic: for example we don't call slave masters *masters* but *managers* or *bosses*, your employer still owns you through your work contract (which again you technically "may quit", but won't because you need money, or because you would simply have to go to another slave master who will treat you exactly the same), we (at least in the first world) don't use DIRECT physical force (though we do use indirect one, e.g. police punishing [homeless](homelessness.md) thieves who HAVE TO steal in order to survive without working) on people anymore but we use a much more effective and cruel psychological, economical and social pressure (it works just as well and keeps the slave in better physical shape, and we can call it "[progress](progress.md)"), we no longer physically chain people in place because we can tie people down by holding their families hostage or making them dependent on drugs, and we can track down any individual no matter where he goes, physical chain is not needed anymore, another cosmetic change we call "progress". People commit more [suicides](suicide.md) from overworking than ever, that alone says something. Many modern capitalists put people under much worse conditions than old slavemasters, for example at one point Henry Ford allowed his workers only 10 minutes for lunch -- that's as fucked up as it gets. If you think slavery doesn't exist, see for example the documentary *Shipbreakers* in which you'll see today's people -- men, women and children -- in India in conditions as miserable as you could ever image, being forced to dismantle ships all day long just to earn a few dimes for food, breathing toxic fumes, getting [cancer](cancer.md) and going blind, dying on daily basis from no work safety, living in small huts on beaches soaked with toxic chemical poison. It's just a tip of the iceberg, and it is [today's world](21st_century.md).

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.

 Friendly reminder that even the agricultural peasant only used to slave during summer, in the winter he just chilled and ate the food he farmed in the summer. Gorillas sleep 12 hours a day and the rest they spend having fun, they don't work at all. [Capitalism](capitalism.md) made so much "[progress](progress.md)" that everyone is now a slave all year round :-] Even in feudalist times the peasants were obliged to donate just PART of their work to the overlord leech, the rest of time they spent working on their own fields -- today you donate practically 100% time to your slavemaster, you own nothing, you have no practically usable skill, you spend 100% time in your job and just go home to sleep and take a shower, you live in rented flat, you watch rented movies, you use rented software, you're renting your digital devices (you have to replace them every year or so because they stop working), you take drugs to make you not suffer a mental breakdown from it and you probably call this historically unprecedented [freedom](freedom.md).

 For lawyer cunts: we officially DO NOT ADVISE any illegal methods mentioned here. However unofficially we highly welcome them. Also for lawyers: fuck you. Here are some ways in which it might IN THEORY be possible to avoid work:
 
 - **Becoming as independent as possible**: living frugally, stopping consuming, using old technology, growing own food, making one's electricity etc. Even if one needs some money, needing less is always better, as one can work less.
-- **Just saying fuck you to any work [lol](lol.md)**: fuck everything YOLO style can be fun, just stop doing anything, go beg for money. You'll probably lose any social security such as healthcare and old age pension, but you may still get some minimum life support, and if you are extremely sick just lay down in front of main hospital entrance, they'll probably have to save your life even without health insurance. Even if not, living fewer years in freedom is probably better than living longer in slavery.

Even if not, living fewer years in freedom is probably better than living longer in slavery.
 - **Saving [money](money.md)**: obviously, saving a lot of money makes one able to retire soon. Watch out for inflation that destroys savings, it's nice to put some part of it e.g. in gold so that it keeps the value.
 - **Begging**: in some regions beggars make very good money, sometimes even more than a regular salary. Trying to look like a "street artist" may help, however just asking people NICELY for money will probably work in bigger cities where people can afford the expense. Again, be NICE, don't smell or look disgusting, DO NOT be drunk or smell by alcohol, say you need it for food or accommodation, don't fight with people who shittalk you, just politely leave and ask someone else. Find tricks that work (e.g. asking a couple may be more successful as the guy won't want to seem like a greedy bastard in front of the lady). Watch out for for places where this may be illegal. Change your spots or even cities often so that you don't become a annoying to the degree that someone would want to get you removed.
 - **Some professions come with long holidays**, typically e.g. teachers get about two months off each year, so you can try to find something like this. Also some seasonal work and so on. In some countries an employer is required to still pay you a portion of salary even if there is no work to be done and you have to stay at home -- you can strategically search for work in an industry that is going to stagnate.

 - Text web browsers like [links](links.md), [lynx](lynx.md) and [w3m](w3m.md) -- these are excellent! Check out especially the `-dump` option. Not only do they handle all the crap like parsing faulty HTML and handling shitty [encryption](encryption.md) [bullshit](bullshit.md), they also nicely render the page as plain text (again allowing further use of standard Unix tools), allow easily filling out forms and all this kind of stuff.
 - [Libraries](library.md) and scraping specific tools: there exist many, such as the BeautifulSoup [Python](python.md) library -- although these tools are oftentimes very ugly, you may just abuse them for a one time [throwaway script](throwaway_script.md).
