@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ So, from the European point of view, here is a short summary of why 90s were so
|
|||
- Professionals actually knew something about their profession, you could trust that if someone did something for living, he'd be kind of good at it. As a result things were generally of good quality, including for example movie dubbings and subtitles (nowadays it's standard that subtitles are made by people who cannot read or write or even talk at all), news, books, electronics, tools etc.
|
||||
- ALL computers had [CRT](crt.md)s!
|
||||
- People talked normally, there was no [newspeak](newspeak.md) [bullshit](bullshit.md)! The "issue" of politically correct pronouns didn't exist, such insanity would be seen as completely ridiculous, "he" was the default pronoun, everyone said "mankind", "spokesman", no one had an issue with it. If someone just mentioned that a pronoun can be "offensive" he would be probably be immediately put in a mental asylum.
|
||||
- There was absolute minimum of [ads](marketing.md) and they were somewhat bearable, not 100% aggressive brainwashing -- some even naively tried to pleasant and brings some actual art in. You could see a movie, then there would be two or three ads and another movie would follow, and that was on a commercial station, state TV had basically zero ads.

- [Internet](internet.md) was actually good and free of idiots, it was elitist and only for nerds with no life. [Web](www.md) was young, only 1.0, all sites were nice, lightweight, non-commercial. [Gopher](gopher.md) was just as popular.
|
||||
- [Programming](programming.md) and IT was still cool and didn't make you wanna kill yourself -- [C](c.md) was used a lot, game developers wrote their own [engines](game_engine.md), webmasters actually wrote [HTML](html.md) and so on.
|
||||
- No [women](woman.md) in tech or on the Internet, or at least a minimum of them -- no one cared about gender or shit like that back then. Thanks to this you could actually appreciate women in those fields, you knew a woman had to be real special to have made it.

# Czechia
|

|
||||
Czechia, or Czech Republic, is a small [Slav](slav.md) country in the middle of [Europe](europe.md), it's one of the most awful countries in the world. It split from Czechoslovakia in 1993, its capital is Prague, it has about 78000 square kilometers and population of 11 million, the political system and main religion is [capitalism](capitalism.md). In the past the country wasn't so bad, there was a good tradition of [socialism](socialism.md) so people had complete social security, education was completely free, everyone could afford food, there were very few [ads](marketing.md) in the media and generally people were quite happy, everyone would get healthcare and retirement pension; there was also quite diverse [culture](culture.md) of different villages with their own language dialects and traditions, there was zero crime, no one ever heard of guns or violence there, there was no [fear](fear_culture.md), and art was also somewhat nice, especially music, movies and movie dubbing. All of this disappeared swiftly once the country adopted [capitalism](capitalism.md) and [US](usa.md) culture after the so called *Velvet revolution* at the beginning of 1990s. Recently people were again made to vote -- the choices were to either make everything more shitty or to make things better. They voted to make everything shittier, so inflation is now skyrocketing, people are freezing in winter, TV is unwatchable, food is luxury, let alone things like houses, nothing works, everyone is enslaved, retirement age was postponed to something like 100 years of age plus you must have worked for about 80 years or something (this gets increased every year), ads torture you everywhere, there is no art anymore, health insurance payment is mandatory but you still have to pay for healthcare, but you won't find a doctor anyway, there are no doctors anymore (everyone went to do [marketing](marketing.md)). The country is only famous for its tradition of drinking a lot of beer. Czech people are mostly described by foreigners as cold, unfriendly, rude and ugly. One of the most famous politicians is a Czech Neonazi who's actually Japanese; another famous Czech is its ugly ex prime minister who is also not Czech but Slovak and is a mafia boss. Czechia has no historical, political or cultural significance. Czechs masturbate every day about Czechia.

- **Being a [capitalist](capitalism.md)**; by definition a capitalist only cares about himself, the only true value for him is self interest and he thinks that all other values stem from it (that's fundamentally why he accepts capitalism, he believes everyone thinks like that), hence capitalist is incapable of [love](love.md) or wanting any benefit for anyone else than himself, he can only ever pretend to do so if he sees it will benefit him in some way, he will only benefit others if he sees it will somehow lead to his own benefit in the future (this applies even to for example to caring about his own family etc.).

- **Using licenses that require giving credit**, such as [CC-BY-SA](cc_by_sa.md).

A good man will plan to arrive at least half an hour earlier so that even if he gets late, he'll still be on time, and if by some extreme miracle he still arrives late, he must pay the other one money or give him some other gift, for example free sex in case of woman.

No, that one favorite celebrity of yours is not an exception to this.

### You literally wrote this whole wiki yourself? How do you do it?
|
||||
|
||||
See previous question, it just became a habit to write down what comes to my mind plus note stuff I find useful and I like to read through it from time to time, add more comments, polish stuff, and after a few years of daily writing you get something like this. I can write every day without much effort because I do it instead of wasting my life on bullshit like [constantly migrating and updating](update_culture.md) my website framework (since I have none), checking my bank accounts, maintaining my car (since I have none), maintaining my castle sized house (since I have none), going to work (which I try to not have), masturbating all day (I just do it quickly), consuming TikTok, making smalltalk, arguing on the Internet, going to parties and shit like that. When I happen to talk to someone and we disagree on something, I immediately know it's a complete waste of life talking to him further so rather than trying to argue on I tell him he won the debate (this makes him extremely happy), then I go and write my counterargument on this wiki so that me spending time on formulating the argument will be seen by more people and hence may actually be useful, plus next time I can just provide a link to my article as my argument without any extra effort.

I am 10 IQ chimpanzee and I am ignorant of a lot of shit, sometimes accidentally and sometimes not, I like to derive conclusions myself and I think there is value in reinventing the wheel sometimes. Standing on the shoulders of previous generations and taking things as proven is efficient and comfortable, often a good decision, but sometimes one that will lead to missing things that could have been -- take civilizations that developed independently of each other, how different they ended up to be, they didn't necessarily converge to being the same. How can we be sure our ways are the best just because we managed to wipe out other civilizations that lived differently? Maybe they were onto something. Trying to invent things again from scratch helps us test if where we're going is really the only way, or perhaps reveal there is a better way.

### You Should Read More And Write Less.
|
||||
|
||||
Not a question but good point, I see what you are saying: some people talk too much when they should rather be listening. I am aware of this and appreciate the advice, I try to follow it but there are several factors at play here: firstly I am weird, probably retarded and autistic and I have trouble understanding other people, I've always had problems understanding what others wanted to say and so I learned to do everything myself, even if it meant reinventing the wheel. This is both my weakness, as in I am unable to collaborate with others, and an advantage as I became able to do a lot on my own, becoming more independent, including my thinking. I am also a slow reader, maybe also due to what's been said, and I have hard time reading about something that causes me anxiety, which is anything touching on politics etc. So even if there is literature on some topic I will often mostly ignore it and rather derive the conclusions myself, it's just how I am, and there are pros and cons: I will never keep up with the "experts" that stand on the shoulder of others, I will make mistakes and will be slower at making progress, but I will also be more independent, may get deeper insight and even discover new paths that the established research just missed or ignored (on purpose or not). I am not saying this is how everyone should always operate, but it is how I mostly operate. Secondly I also found that I can no longer trust anyone, so I HAVE TO do everything myself. Thirdly I sometimes also feel people went too much towards the other extreme: everyone is just listening and consuming without actively doing anything and I feel I must break this, for myself but also show others they should try it too, people have to become more active and independent in their thinking.

Freedom denotes the possibility to act as one desires without suffering negative consequences. The opposite of freedom is [slavery](slavery.md). Clearly the word *freedom* is so vague, general and [culturally](culture.md) significant that whole libraries could be filled up to the roof only with books exploring this single concept. Aiming to describe what the word means in general we could say freedom is the size of the set of options an entity has available to freely choose from at given moment: the fewer option there are, the less freedom it has. Very important in this is to realize that options which are formally available but [de facto](de_facto.md) excluded must be treated as unavailable as long as we're interested in REAL freedom, as opposed to just "freedom on paper", i.e. if for example one has the legal right ("freedom") to criticize a mafia boss but the option is de facto excluded because doing so will lead to one being killed by mafia, there is no REAL freedom to criticize the mafia boss -- the freedom is only illusory.
|
||||
|
||||
[Freedom](freedom.md) is an essential value of [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md) which aims to increase happiness of all life: a living being having many choices can choose the one it really likes, as opposed to an enslaved being which [has to do](work.md) a thing it most likely dislikes.
|
||||
|
||||
From the definition it can be deduced that **freedom can almost be equated with [minimalism](minimalism.md)** and those looking for genuine freedom start following minimalism very soon. At first it may not exactly be clear why, but in fact freedom and minimalism are inevitably connected: minimalism means [needing](dependency.md) a little; needing something enslaves us by FORCING us to satisfy the need and freeing ourselves of the need gives us the extra choice: to do something or not to do it, as it is now no longer obligatory. Therefore minimalism implies more choice and so, by definition, more freedom. Minimalism is not about having little, but needing little; a minimalist won't have a car or luxury house not because he couldn't achieve to have one, but because it's pointless to do so, just as it's pointless to buy something that will never be of any use or value. In the same fashion minimalist technology offers more choice: more people can understand it, repair it, improve it; minimalist software is less demanding and so there is more choice of where it can be installed and used, it is smaller so there is more choice in how to share it (unlike big software it may be shared via floppy disk, low bandwidth connection or even on paper), and so on. It is only natural that people who seriously look for attaining mental/spiritual freedom have often resorted to [asceticism](asceticism.md), at least for a period of time (e.g. [Buddha](buddha.md)) -- this is very commonly not done with the intent of actually giving up all materialistic pleasures forevermore, but rather to let go of the [dependency](dependency.md) on the them, to know and see that one really can live without them if needed so that one becomes less afraid of losing them, which is often what internally enslaves us. It's a way for attaining minimalism. Without even realizing it we are nowadays addicted to many things (games, social media, overeating, shiny gadgets, ...) like an alcoholic is to booze; it is not necessarily bad to drink alcohol, but it is bad to be addicted to it -- to free himself the alcoholic needs to abstain from alcohol for a long period of time. Our chains are often within ourselves: for example we often don't have the freedom to say what we want to say because that might e.g. ruin our career, preventing us from enjoying our expensive addictions -- once we don't worry about this, we gain the freedom to say what we want. Once you rid yourself of fear of jail, you gain the freedom to do potentially illegal things, and so on. Additionally going through the experience of letting go of pleasures very often opens up your eyes and mind, new thoughts emerge and one reevaluates what's really important in life.
|
||||
|
||||
By the same reasoning we'll find that **[generalism](generalism.md) and self sufficiency** increase freedom because, once again, they decrease dependence and reliance on others, opening up more possibilities and becoming harder to enslave. If one can grow own food, he can still choose to work and buy food for money he makes, but he also has up his sleeve the option to stop working and make his own food if for example the employer starts to abuse him, force him to work more for less money etc. So just BEING self sufficient alone may force the employer to treat the employee better, seeing he HAS the card and could leave if treated badly; a specialized robot however has no other option than to accept whatever conditions the employer establishes -- he is a slave. This is why [capitalism](capitalism.md) pushes people towards specialization: specialization comes at the cost of abandoning generalism and self sufficiency, making the individual depend completely on the system, becoming slave and someone who will be very easily blackmailed -- if you don't do what the system wants, you won't get what you need to live.

On one hand human languages are cool when viewed from cultural or [artistic](art.md) perspective, they allow us to write poetry, describe feelings and nature around us -- in this way they can be considered [beautiful](beauty.md). However from the perspective of others, e.g. programmers or historians, **human languages are a [nightmare](nightmare.md)**.

[Syntax](syntax.md) (i.e. the rules that say which sentences are valid and which are not) doesn't pose such a problem, we can quite easily define what's grammatically correct or not (it's not as hard to write a program that checks gramatical correctness), it is semantics (i.e. meanings) that is extremely hard to grasp -- even in rigorous languages (such as mathematical notation or programming languages) semantics is a bit harder to define (quite often still relying on bits of human language), but while in a programming language we are essentially able to define quite EXACTLY what each construct means (e.g. `a + b` returns the sum of values *a* and *b*), in a natural language we are basically never able to do that, we can only ever form fuzzy connections between other fuzzy concepts and we can never have anything fixed.

|
||||
|

Due to this fuzziness human languages inevitably change over time no matter how hard we try to counter this, any text written a few thousand years ago is nowadays very hard to understand -- not because the old languages aren't spoken anymore, but because the original meanings of specific words, phrases and constructs are distorted by time; when learning an old language we learn what each word meant by reading its translation to some modern word, but the modern word is always more or less different. Even if it's a very simple word such as "fish", our modern word for fish means a slightly different thing than let's say ancient Roman's word for fish because it had slightly different connotations such as potential references to other things: fish for example used to be the symbol of Christianity, nowadays people don't even commonly make this connection. Fishermen were a despised class of workers, to some fish may have signified food and abundance, to others something that "smells bad", to others something or someone who's "slippery". Some words may have referred to some contemporary "[meme](meme.md)" that's been long forgotten and if some text makes the reference, we won't understand it. The word "book" for example meant something a bit different 2000 years ago than it means now: back then a book might have been just a relatively short scroll, it was expensive and people didn't read books the same way as we do today, they commonly just read them out loud to others, so "reading a book" and the word "book" itself doesn't conjure the same picture in our heads as it did back then. Or another example showing the difference between languages existing at the same time is this: while the Spanish word "perro" translates to English as "dog", the meanings aren't the same; some English speakers use the word as a synonym for "friend" but in Spanish the word can be used as an insult so shouting "perro" and "dog" in the street may lead to different (possibly completely opposite) images popping up in the heads of those who hear it. Westerners who spend a lot of time in eastern countries will confirm that it is absolutely the case that many eastern spiritual terms and texts are untranslatable to English, or translatable only very, very imprecisely: there are words for concepts that western culture simply lacks and even words that have more or less direct translation may carry different connotations, such as the word "void" which in the east has often a positive connotation, unlike in the west. When you study philosophy, you'll be told you have to read philosophers in their original language in order to really understand them. Imagine you speak to an isolated bushmen tribe somewhere in Africa and you have to translate the word "vaporwave" or "doomer meme" when they don't have a word for Internet, computer or electricity, they don't know what depression, multimedia or technological addiction is and can't even comprehend the concept of a social network because they have hard time imagining there could exist many more people in the world, being unable to count beyond 10, thinking the world probably ends beyond the horizon -- you may perhaps say "vaporwave" is "funny music" and "doomer meme" is a "sad idea", but you know it's actually a very poor translation. It's not because their language was poorer than yours (in fact many of such languages have been found to be extremely hard to learn), it will just have evolved to express other things, ones you can't understand, complex things about nature, jungle, hunting, hundreds of different plants, what's edible and what's poisonous (in which ways, to whom, with what certainty, in which quantities, under which circumstances, ...), subtle distinctions of many different species of animals, rocks, water, trees, fire, weather and so on. Even within our own culture we struggle to communicate, depressed people have hard time explaining what depression really is to people who never experienced true depression, we use words like "sadness", "emptiness", "exhaustion", but once again, only as rough approximations to the true, indescribable feeling.

**What does love of all life mean exactly?** As hinted above, it does **NOT** necessarily mean maximizing specific measures such as abundance of life (which could lead to overpopulation and in turn to suffering), the sum of happiness of all life (which could lead to just dosing everyone with drugs or killing unhappy individuals), elimination of negative emotion such as hatred (which would likely prevent us from recognizing wrong directions of our society), it doesn't mean respect towards everyone etc. It doesn't even mean that we will never kill anyone on purpose, our society may support [euthanasia](euthanasia.md) without violating its principles. Love of all life mostly means that **we start behaving [selflessly](selflessness.md) and [altruistically](altruism.md) instead of pursuing self interest**, at least as much as we practically can. It means that we start seeing the life on our whole planet (and possibly in the whole universe) as our own family, not as our enemies. This doesn't mean we will like everyone, that we'll agree with everyone's opinions, that we won't criticize anyone or that we'll be [politically correct](political_correctness.md) etc., it just means that we will never try to cause suffering to others, that we'll try to not exploit others, that we'll be aware of the needs of others and try to behave towards them with empathy and love. Importantly **we will try to pursue these ideals even if we can't achieve perfection**.
|
||||
|
||||
We will further set a few principles to which we'll stick on the way towards the goal. Firstly **we will never force anything** as forcing any idea, whatever it may be, always ends up being [evil](evil.md). To us **ends NEVER justify the means.** We want to increase happiness of life mainly through **increasing its [freedom](freedom.md)** -- and it's important to note we mean REAL freedom, i.e. increasing the number of choices anyone has [de facto](de_facto.md) available at any moment. This must never be confused with so called "pseudofreedom" which just means "law of the jungle".

## Basic Description
|
||||
|
||||
The following is a basic description of just some features of the ideal society, some of which are however only speculative. Keep in mind it is impossible to plan a whole society exactly -- even if some of the speculations here turn out to be somehow erroneous, it probably still doesn't present a fatal obstacle to implementing our society, things may simply just turn out differently or to be more or less challenging than we predict.

@ -98,6 +100,7 @@ A paradise is achieved on [Earth](earth.md).
|
|||
- **Do you really think you can convince even diehard neonazis to accept these ideas?** Not in their lifetime -- some people can't practically be convinced, it would take longer than they will be alive. 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).
|
||||
- **Can't you achieve happiness of all life simply by dosing everyone with drugs?** Yes, but this is not what we'll do for several reasons. Firstly this is short sighted: if everyone is dosed with cocaine, everyone dies and there will be no more life that could feel joy anymore, i.e. we have achieved the absolute opposite of our goal. Secondly, as mentioned, one of the key principles of LRS is to never force anything: we rather want to achieve happiness through increasing [freedom](freedom.md). This means there WILL be the freedom to take drugs, anyone can do it out of his free will and some people may choose to do so for example to deal with chronic pain, however we believe that if people (unlike today) have the option to live a happy and meaningful life even without drug abuse, most will choose to not abuse drugs.
|
||||
- **Would such society be stable? Wouldn't people revert back to "old ways" over time?** We believe the society would be highly stable, much more than current society plagued by financial crises, climate changes, wars, political fights etc. The longer a good society stays, the more stable it will probably become as its principles will become more and more embedded in the culture and there will be no destabilizing forces -- no groups revolting "against the system" should appear because no one will be oppressed and therefore unhappy about the situation. Furthermore, like mentioned above, once competitiveness becomes unnecessary, evolution will slowly start removing the competitive trait of humans as it will no longer be needed, just like it removed our fur for example; humans will become less and less aggressive like domesticated animals have, and then it will be as rare to see an aggressive human as seeing a cow behave like a predator. Evolution is normally slow, but only because environmental changes are slow; with rapid change of society (for the better) a quite rapid evolution should be seen as well (this has already been observed in nature); just like humans degenerate very quickly by society getting rapidly worse (allergy, bad immunity, worse eyesight, more cancer, depression, autism and plethora of other things we see), they should start rapidly improving with fast changes for the better.
|
||||
- **Will you allow abortions?** There is no strict YES/NO answer here, as with everything there will be no simple allowing or forbidding laws, decisions about abortions will be made in the spirit of the common goal, handled on a case-by-case basis and strong prevention of unwanted and/or risky pregnancy. There will be more people willing to adopt children, birth control means will be better and accessible to anyone for free, children will not pose any financial burden or be an "obstacle to one's career", so this issue won't be nearly as great as it is today.
|
||||
- **You say you want equality of all living beings -- does this mean you will force animals to not kill each other or that you will refuse to e.g. kill viruses?** Ideally we would like to maximize the happiness and minimize suffering of all living beings, even primitive life forms such as bacteria, and if that cannot be achieved at the time, we will try to get as close to it as we can and do the next best thing. Sometimes there are no simple answers here but the important thing is the goal we have to keep in mind. For example provided that we want to sustain human life (i.e. we don't decide to starve to death) we have to choose what to eat: nowadays we will try to be vegan so as to spare animals of suffering but we are still aware that eating plants means killing plants which are living beings too -- we don't think the life of a plant is less worthy of an existence than that of an animal, but from what we know plants don't show signs of suffering to the degree to which e.g. mammals do, so eating plants rather than animals is the least evil we can do. Once we invent widely available artificial food, we will switch to eating that and we'll stop eating plants too.

# LRS Wiki

LRS wiki, also Less Retarded Wiki or LRW, is a [public domain](public_domain.md) ([CC0](cc0.md)) non-commercial anti[capitalist](capitalism.md) (precisely [anarcho pacifist](anpac.md)) [encyclopedia](encyclopedia.md) focused on truly good, [minimalist](minimalism.md) [technology](tech.md), mainly [computer](computer.md) [software](sw.md) -- so called [less retarded software](lrs.md) (LRS) which should serve the people at large -- while also exploring related topics such as the relationship between technology and society, promoting so called [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md). LRS wiki is a source of high quality truth and the voice of reason in the [age of lies and brainwashing](21st_century.md). The basic motivation behind LRS and its wiki is unconditional [love](love.md) of all life, and the goal of LRS is to move towards creating a truly useful, [selfless](selflessness.md) technology that maximally helps all living beings as much as possible -- it does so while at the same time developing its own [culture](culture.md), one that's much more sane and compatible with the desired goal, unlike the [toxic](toxic.md) [modern](modern.md) [fascist](fascism.md) culture of the [21st century](21st_century.md). As such the wiki rejects for example [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) (and [capitalism](capitalism.md) itself), [bloated](bloat.md) software, [intellectual property](intellectual_property.md) laws ([copyright](copyright.md), [patents](patent.md), ...) [censorship](censorship.md), [pseudoleftism](pseudoleft.md) ([political correctness](political_correctness.md), [cancel culture](cancel_culture.md), [COC](coc.md)s ...) etc. It embraces [free as in freedom](free_software.md), simple technology, i.e. [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md), [suckless](suckless.md) software, [anarcho pacifism](anpac.md), [racial realism](racial_realism.md), [free speech](free_speech.md), [veganism](veganism.md) etc. As a work promoting pure [good](good.md) in a [time](21st_century.md) of universal rule of [evil](evil.md) it is greatly controversial, misunderstood and often met with hostility. However it already gained at least a few englightened followers.

The wiki is not funded by anyone, it doesn't have to be funded because it's not a capitalist project and it cost literally zero [monies](money.md) to make, it is not even a non-profit, so it doesn't have to obey by any laws or suck some bureaucratic dick, it is also not affiliated with anyone, its author has no career for which he would have to fear, he has no friends, family, community or collaborators, no material desires, no fear of demonetization/demonization, bans, [cancelling](cancel_culture.md), jail or [death](death.md), so he can write truth without being limited by anything.

# Name Is Important
|
||||
|

Name of a philosophy, project, movement, group, [ideology](ideology.md) etc. plays a more significant role than a common man believes. A naive view is that name is just an arbitrary identifier whose value lies at most being "catchy" and "easily remembered" (see also [marketing](marketing.md)), a common man will rather believe promise of politician than the name of his party which he will disregard just as a "bunch of unimportant words"; however name is much more than a mere string of letters, it is the single most stable defining feature of an entity; everything else, all the books and knowledge associated with it may be distorted by [history](history.md), but the name will always stay the same and will hold a scrutiny over all actions of the entity, it will always be a permanent reminder to every follower of what he is trying to achieve. But what if the name of the movement changes? Then it will be by definition a new, different movement, and everyone will have to decide if he wants to abandon the old movement to join the new. The name very often points towards the one true goal.

HOWEVER, it may also not be completely true -- few things in Universe hold absolutely. Hear this **warning**: firstly [human language](human_language.md) itself (i.e. meanings of all words that exist in it) changes, the process is slow but in several hundred years this effect becomes significant. Secondly although the power of name is great, it is not infinite, the discussed stress of the importance of name should just remind us that the force of the name is greater than one might expect, but may still be broken if stronger forces are at play -- there have been many cases of **name abuse** in history, notably e.g. by [Nazism](nazi.md) whose name stands for "national socialism" but whose actions were completely antisocialist, or so called ["Anarcho" capitalism](ancap.md) which abuses the name *[anarchism](anarchism.md)* despite being completely antianarchist. The moral of the story here is that we should put a great effort in choosing a name, but we shouldn't think we'll be safe as long as we do -- we will probably never be safe from the fuzziness of language and its potential to be abused, but we should try to do our best.

||||
|
@ -19,4 +19,8 @@ Let us comment on a few examples:
|
|||
- **[Anarchism](anarchism.md)**: anarchism means "without a ruler" which has shown to be a good name, clearly opposing the idea of one man standing above another and so, again, keeps resisting attempts at being twisted to go against this basic goal. We rarely see the name being abused by the powerful because someone who wants to rule others simply cannot promote something that clearly indicates there should be no rulers. Indeed, there exist attempts at abusing the name, such as ["Anarcho" capitalism](ancap.md), but we observe the shear absurdity of such attempt is quickly spotted by most people who know what the word *anarchism* means.

Open source unfortunately (but unsurprisingly) became absolutely prevalent over free software as it better serves [capitalism](capitalism.md) and abuse of people, and its followers are more and more hostile towards the free software movement. This is very dangerous, [ethics](ethics.md) and focus on actual user freedom is replaced by shallow legal definitions that can be bypassed, e.g. by [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) and [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md). In a way open source is capitalism reshaping free software so as to weaken it and eventually make its principles of freedom ineffective. Open source tries to shift the goal posts: more and more it offers only an illusion of some kind of ethics and/or freedom, it pushes towards mere partial openness ("open source" for proprietary platforms), towards high complexity, inclusion of unethical business-centered features ([autoupdates](autoupdate.md), [DRM](drm.md), ...), high interdependency, difficulty of utilizing the rights granted by the license, exclusion of developers with "incorrect" political opinions or bad brand image etc. In practice open source has become something akin a mere **brand** which is stick to a piece of software to give users with little insight a feeling they're buying into something good -- this is called **[openwashing](openwashing.md)**. This claim is greatly supported by the fact that corporations such as [Microsoft](microsoft.md) and [Google](google.md) widely embrace open source ("Microsoft <3 open source", the infamous [GitHub](github.md) acquisition etc.).

Zoomers are dangerous by no longer being people, they don't know what looks good or bad, they don't remember what good is because they never lived during times when good still existed, they think that [modern](modern.md) things are the best we can achieve, it's pretty scary. Once older generations that zoomers die out, the world will be destroyed.
|
||||
|
||||
Contrary to past predictions stating the generation would be one of "technology natives" possessing unprecedented technological skills, absolute opposite turned out to be the case: **zoomers are awfully terrible with technology and don't know basic things about it**. In this they are the first generation with worse technological skills than the preceding one (they are also less cool than millenials etc.). This is not their fault of course, they are a failure because they were so unlucky to be born into dystopian [ultracapitalism](capitalism.md) that obscures technology and enforces consumption: hence the skills of a zoomer are limited to manipulating a device he is given so that he can use it for consumption of content. A zoomer cannot use [computer mouse](mouse.md), he sometimes doesn't even know what a [file](file.md) is, he only thinks of "content in cloud" or "photos in an [app](app.md)", and we're not even talking about serious stuff like [assembly](assembly.md) programming -- this to him is rocket science. The highest skill a zoomer can have is probably [ricing](ricing.md) and [distro hopping](distro_hopping.md).

Zoomers also don't know what headphones are, they just walk and play music or videos at full volume, not giving a single shit about the fact this is pissing off everyone around, a zoomer can't even comprehend anything so complex as empathy.
