Even though nowadays quite a lot of time has passed since times of [Marx](marx.md) and capitalism has evolved to a stage with countless disastrous issues Marx couldn't even foresee, it is useful to mention one of the basic and earliest issues identified by Marx, which is that economically capitalism is based on **stealing the [surplus](surplus.md) value**, i.e. abuse of workers and consumers by owners of the means of production (factories, tools, machines etc.) -- a capitalist basically takes money for doing nothing, just for letting workers use tools he proclaims to own (a capitalist will proclaim to "own" land that he never even visited, machines he didn't make as they were developed over centuries, nowadays he even claims to own [information and ideas](intellectual_property.md)) -- as [Kropotkin](kropotkin.md) put it: the working man cannot purchase with his wage the wealth he has produced. This allows a capitalist oppressor to make exponentially more money for nothing and enables existence of monstrously rich and powerful individuals in a world where millions are starving -- consider for example that nowadays there are people who own hundreds of buildings and cars plus a handful of private planes and a few private islands. It is not possible for any single human to work an equivalent of effort that's needed to produce what such an individual owns, even if he worked 24 hours a day for his whole life, he wouldn't get even close to matching the kind of effort that's needed to build the hundreds of buildings he owns -- any such great wealth is always stolen from countless workers whose salary is less than what's adequate for their work and also from consumers who pay more than it really costs to manufacture the goods they buy. Millions of people are giving their money (resources) for free to someone who just proclaims to "own" tools and even natural resources that have been there for billions of years. The difference in wealth and privileges this wealth provides divides society into antagonist classes that are constantly at war -- traditionally these classes are said to be the **[bourgeoisie](bourgeoisie.md)** (business owners, the upper class) and the **[proletariat](proletariat.md)** (workers, the lower class), though under modern capitalism the division of society is not so simple anymore -- there are more classes (for example small businesses work for larger businesses) but they are still all at war.

Nowadays **capitalism is NOT JUST an economic system** anymore. Technically perhaps, however in reality it takes over society to such a degree that it starts to redefine very basic social and moral values to the point of taking the role of a [religion](religion.md), or better said a brainwashing cult in which people are since childhood taught (e.g. by constant daily exposure to private media) to worship economy, brands, engage in cults of personalities (see myths about godlike entrepreneurs) and [productivity](productivity.md) (i.e. not usefulness, morality, efficiency or similar values, just the pure ability to produce something for its own sake). Close minded people will try to counter argue in shallow ways such as "but religion has to have some supernatural entity called God" etc. Again, technically speaking this may be correct, but if we don't limit our views by arbitrary definitions of words, we see that the effects of capitalism on society are [de facto](de_facto.md) of the same or even greater scale than those of religion, and they are certainly more negative. Capitalism itself works towards suppressing traditional religions (showing it is really competing with them and therefore aspiring for the same role) and their values and trying to replace them with worship of money, success and self interest, it permeates society to the deepest levels by making every single area of society a subject of business and acting on the minds of all people in the society every single day which is an enormously strong pressure that strongly shapes mentality of people, again mostly negatively towards a war mentality (constant competition with others), egoism, materialism, fascism, pure pursuit of profit etc. **Capitalism in a society ultimately leaves place for nothing but capitalism**, it seizes every place for itself, just like cancer, it will eventually smother religion, ethics, art, science, technology, culture, ... whatever it is you love you will have to give up to capitalism that in the end will only be making money for the sake of being able to make money; so a capitalist can really only be that who is either too stupid to see this or just loves the purely self serving existence of money more than existence of anything else.

Close minded people will try to counter argue in shallow ways such as "but religion has to have some supernatural entity called God" etc. Indeed, capitalism has its own Gods (money, the successful entrepreneurs, corporations, brands, ...), fairy tales, myths and invisible entities (economy, the invisible hand, ...), rituals (entrepreneurs in expensive suits giving stage speeches like preachers, people making sacrifices for the economy, ...) and completely irrational beliefs (if you try hard enough you try hard enough you can achieve anything! listen to this tape before sleep to unlock the secret power of your brain that leads to success!). Indeed, if one tries to come up with a definition of religion that technically won't fit capitalism because he doesn't want capitalism to be a religion, he can probably do it, but it has all attributes of a religion and if we don't limit our views by arbitrary definitions of words, we see that the effects of capitalism on society are [de facto](de_facto.md) of the same or even greater scale than those of a religion, and they are certainly more negative.

From a certain point of view capitalism is not really a traditional socioeconomic system, it is **the failure to establish one** -- capitalism is the failure to prevent the establishment of capitalism, and it is also the punishment for this failure. It is the continuation of the jungle to the age when technology for mass production, mass surveillance etc. has sufficiently advanced -- capitalism will arise with technological progress unless we prevent it, just as cancer will grow unless we treat it in very early stages. This is what people mean when they say that capitalism [simply works](just_werks.md) or that it's *natural* -- it's the least effort option, one that simply lets people behave like animals, except that these animals are now equipped with weapons of mass destruction, tools for implementing slavery, world wide surveillance etc. It is natural in the same way in which wars, murders, bullying and deadly diseases are. It is the most primitive system imaginable, it is uncontrolled, leads to suffering and self-destruction.

- **artificial crippling of technology**: It is nowadays the norm to create a high tier product, such as a CPU or a car, and then artificially cripple some of the manufactured units (limit car engine power by software, burn parts of the CPU, ...) so as to sell them as a lower tier of that product. It is cheaper than to separately invent several tiers of the product. So it costs the same (actually less) to create a high end CPU as the low end one -- we could all be using high end CPUs, but the poorer of us are forced to use the forcefully crippled versions, because "capitalism".

- **preventing progress, sustaining status quo**: Capitalism is extremely hostile towards social progress (more leisure time, more social security, ...), i.e. the main kind of progress (all progress should eventually serve well being of people, otherwise it's just artificial self-serving burden). It is also, contrary to popular belief, against technological progress -- the established corporations want to perpetuate their established businesses and will attack and destroy new ideas that endanger it (i.e. electric cars vs fuel powered cars, food corporations vs the solution of world hunger etc.). Capitalism prevents realization of any idea that's physically possible but which is **economically impossible**, ruling out e.g. many solutions to global heating etc.

Czechia, or Czech Republic, is a small country in the middle of [Europe](europe.md), it's one of the worst countries in the world. It split from Czechoslovakia in 1993, its capital is Prague, it has about 78 square kilometers and population of 11 million. 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 in the media and generally people were quite happy, everyone would get healthcare and retirement pension; there was also quite diverse culture 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, 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. Czechia has no historical, political or cultural significance.

In technology forking generally means splitting, or better said duplicating an abstract entity (such as a computer process or development project) into two or more such entities so that each one can from then on develop differently; this is very similar to how biological cells duplicate by splitting. The term *fork* is used in many contexts, for example in software development (project forking), in [operating systems](operating_system.md) ([process](process.md) forking), in [cryptocurrencies](crypto.md) (blockchain forking), [nondeterministic](determinism.md) computing (computation forking) etc.

Free (as in freedom) hardware is a form of ethical [hardware](hardware.md) aligned with the philosophy of [free (as in freedom) software](free_software.md), i.e. having a free [licensed](license.md) designed that allows anyone to study, use, modify and share such designs for any purpose and so prevent abuse of users by technology. Let us note the word *free* refers to user freedom, not price! Sometimes the term may be more broadly and not completely correctly used even for hardware that's just highly compatible with purely free software systems -- let us rather call these a **freedom friendly hardware** -- and sometimes people misunderstand the term *free* as meaning "gratis hardware"; to avoid misunderstandings [GNU](gnu.md) recommends using the term **free design hardware** or **libre hardware** for free hardware in the strict sense, i.e. hardware with free licensed design. Sometimes -- nowadays maybe even more often -- the term *"[open source](open_source.md)" hardware* or *open hardware* with very similar meaning is encountered, but that is of course a [harmful](harmful.md) terminology as open source is an inherently harmful [capitalist](capitalism.md) movement ignoring the ethical question of freedom -- hence it is recommended to prefer using the term free hardware.

Indeed we will find many different definitions of *free hardware* and *free technology*, usually with same core ideas but sometimes in disagreement; for example the [Trash Magic](trash_magic.md) manifesto states that free hardware and technology is that which "gives more than it takes", that it's only that which can be made from the available waste stream of current society even by a non-expert (i.e. being free not just legally but also [practically](de_facto.md)), which is further not encumbered by any intellectual property etc.; for this it excludes "open source" hardware from inclusion under free hardware (as "open source" hardware may require factories, high expertise etc.).

- **How do you think it is realistic to achieve abundance of resources for all?** Nowadays it is easily possible to produce enough resources for everyone, i.e. food, electricity, clothing, buildings to live in etc. -- in fact this has been possible for many decades to centuries now, today all the technology for 99% automated production of most basic resources such as food and electricity is available and well tested, it is just kept in private hands for their sole profit. Nowadays our society is putting most of its effort to artificially made up "businesses" that keep the status quo, partly out of social inertia and partly by the (mostly decentralized and to a degree not even self admitted) conspiracy of the rich. Imagine people stop engaging in marketing, market speculation and investing, bureaucracy, public relations, law (copyrights, patents, property laws, taxes, ...), economics, military, meaningless technology (DRM, spyware, cryptocurrency, viruses and antiviruses, ...), artificial meaningless fashion, drug abuse business, organizing political parties, campaigns, unions, counter unions, cartels, strikes, and so on and so forth (this of course doesn't mean hobbies and art should disappear, just unnecessary industries). We will gain millions of people who can help achieve abundance, land that can be used to produce food and build houses to live in (as opposed to skyscrapers, unnecessary factories, parking lots etc.), and we will let go of the immense burden of bullshit business (millions of unnecessary workplaces having to be maintained, millions of people having to commute by car daily, communicate, organize, be watched by employers, ...). People will get healthier, more rested, cooperative and actually passionate about a common goal, as opposed to depressed (needing psychiatrists and antidepressants), lethargic and hostile to each other. Of course this can't happen over night, probably not even over a decade, but we can make the transition slowly, one step at a time and in the meanwhile use rules based e.g. on the following principle: that which is abundant is unlimited for everyone, that which is scarce is equally divided between all. The question is not whether it's possible, but whether we want to do it.

Civilization by definition means resisting the cruelness of nature, however our proposed society is to live as much as possible in harmony with the nature and is much more natural than our current society which e.g. pushes sleep deprivation, high consumption of antidepressants, eating disorders, addiction to social networks and so on.

- **Won't people get bored? What will motivate people? If they have everything why would they even get out of bed? Haven't you seen the mouse utopia experiments?** It is a mistake to think that competition and the necessity of making living is the only or even the main driving force of human behavior and creativity (on the contrary, it is usually what makes people commit suicides, i.e. lose the will to live). Human curiosity, playfulness, the joy of collaboration, boredom, sense of altruism, socialization, seeking of life meaning and recognition and many other forces drive our behavior. Ask yourself: why do people have hobbies when no one is forcing them to it? Why don't you bore yourself to death in your spare time? Why don't rich people who literally don't have to work bore themselves to death? Why doesn't your pet dog that's not forced to hunt for food bore himself to death? Maslow's hierarchy of needs tells us that once people fulfill basic needs such as that for obtaining food, they naturally start to pursue higher ones such as that for socializing or doing science or art. Unlike rats in small cages people show interests in seeking satisfaction of higher needs than just food and sex, even those that aren't scientist try to do things such as sports, photography, woodwork or gardening, just for the sake of it. It's not that there would be a lack challenges in our society, just that we wouldn't force arbitrary challenges on people.

- **Without violence, how will you prevent capitalists from continuing capitalism?** As also stated e.g. in the [Trash Magic](trash_magic.md) manifesto, we can simply destroy the economy by refusing to participate in it -- a capitalist cannot sell a thing that's abundant, available everywhere for free, he can't sell services if those services are provided for free. Capitalism is depending on the fact that those who it abuses have nowhere to run away to, once enough of us start building such place and provide a bette place to live, suddenly more people will leave the capitalist system and even if some capitalists remain, they won't be able to do anything, economy won't work anymore.

- **If you say it's possible, why wasn't it done before?** Firstly big and small scale communities working on [anarchist](anarchism.md), [communist](communism.md) and peaceful principles have existed for a long time in environments that allow it, e.g. those that have abundance of resources. Globally society couldn't reach this state because only until recently we lacked the technology to provide such an ideal environment globally or even on a scale of a whole country, i.e. only until recently we have been forced by the nature to compete for basic resources such as food and space to live. However with computers, factories, high level of automation and other technology and knowledge we posses, we now have, for the first time in history, the capability to establish an environment with abundance of resources for everyone on the planet. Nowadays only social inertia in the form of [capitalism](capitalism.md) is ARTIFICIALLY keeping scarcity and social competition in place -- getting rid of this obsolete system is now needed to allow establishment of our ideal society. Part of the answer to this question may also be that reaching such an advanced state of society requires long development, technological, cultural and intellectual, just as many other things (things like abolishment of death sentence or even accepting the existence of irrational numbers all required a long time of cultural development).

We believe most bullshit activities that were invented by capitalism, such as marketing, will simply naturally disappear once capitalism ends -- there is no need to force disappearance of something that dies out naturally.

Minesweeper is a simple but entertaining singleplayer puzzle [game](game.md) whose objective is to deduce locations of all mines hidden in a square grid given certain numeric clues. You will most often see the game treated as a [minigame](minigame.md) but indeed it can be taken to much higher level for example with [speedrunning](speedrunning.md) or by expanding the concept to create a more complex game; as a matter of fact there is a dedicated community around competitive play of the game (see minesweepergame.com, their wiki nicely explains advanced strategies and techniques such as so called "1.5 click"). Minesweeper falls under the kind of games highly appreciated by [LRS](lrs.md) perspective -- it's very simple, easy to program (try it as an [exercise](exercises.md)) and learn but still highly [fun](fun.md) to play, it's mathematically [interesting](interesting.md) (example: the *Minesweeper theorem* states that any given board has the sum of its clue numbers same as that of its complement board) and can in theory be played even without a [computer](computer.md) (if someone else prepares you the board). Current form of the game seems to have evolved from 1980s games such as *Mined-Out* or *Relentless Logic* (which were in turn likely inspired by older games like *Battleships*), later it became popular mainly due to being one of default games that came with [Windows](windows.md).

Minimalism and simplicity increases freedom even of [proprietary](proprietary.md) technology which can be seen e.g. on [games](game.md) for old systems such as [GameBoy](gameboy.md) or [DOS](dos.md) -- these games, despite being proprietary, can and are easily and plentifully played, modified and shared by the people, DESPITE not being free legally, simply because it is easy to handle them due to their simplicity. This just further confirms the correlation of freedom and minimalism.

# Trash Magic
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Trash Magic is a term present at the basis of a philosophy/ideology/movement created by white male physicist Lfae Spietz (known as *Dirt Wizard*, formerly as *Trash Robot*), in short it stands for harnessing the potential of capitalist waste to create technology for a new, better society. The term "[magic](magic.md)" was deliberately chosen to be provocative, it tries to completely rethink all basic assumptions about [technology](tech.md) and society, it creates a whole new mindset that shatters the borders erected by capitalism, e.g. those between technology and [art](art.md), users and creators, students and teachers and so on. The "movement" itself is in many ways similar to and aligned with our [LRS](lrs.md), mainly by opposing [capitalism](capitalism.md), being largely non-violent and aiming for creating a world full of abundance and true freedom with good technology for all living beings; but of course like with any other "movement" even here we will find disagreements.

||||||
|
## Details
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The author's books can be downloaded at https://colfax.site/books/trashrobot/ (sadly needs [JS](javascript.md)), they are all free (both gratis and, if the waiver is valid, also [free culture](free_culture.md)). The main work seems to be **Trash Magic Manifesto** written in 2016, other important works include *Geometron Magic* and *First Book of Geometron*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The author sadly seems to be a [type A fail](fail_ab.md), i.e. leaning toward [pseudoleftist](pseudoleft.md) fascism, erecting [gay fascist](lgbt.md) flags, using "personal pronouns" on his social media, using GitHub and even tiktok. But the books themselves seem to be quite free of all this, they are pretty readable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
{ The following is a summary based on my quick reading of the *Trash Magic Manifesto* -- I didn't read it super carefully, I skipped some parts, but think I got a gist of it. It's at times hard to understand and everything here is just my poor interpretation, so to get the clearest picture read the books yourself. ~drummyfish }
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a small **summary of the manifesto**. The text has over 200 pages, the start is very good, the work identifies very well issues of current society and mainly [capitalism](capitalism.md) in a way very similar to us, also like us it for example defines morality as a set of axioms which shouldn't be discussed further (arguing with capitalists is explicitly discouraged as a futile task, also agreeing with us) -- this is the same thing we do with [less retarded society](less_retarded_society.md). [Anarchist](anarchism.md) views are embraced, all life (not just human) is seen as precious (in agreement with us) and the text goes into nice details (e.g. lack of freedom, doctors can't work without technicians, technicians can't work without factory workers, capitalism enslaves us through health care by refusing it to the nonconformant, criticizes Universities, mainstream "science", shits on Bitcoin, the whole concept of intellectual property, refuses money etc.), it states that capitalism is a religion and [cancer](cancer.md) by which our society is dying: we are [consumerist](consumerism.md) society that digs up resources, makes them into product that are consumed and thrown away, creating scarcity and heading towards consuming up all resources -- it is stated our society has to switch to a replication society instead and proposes to utilize what capitalism calls waste or "trash" -- things that have no value to a capitalist, things thrown away or found in nature. From this we should build a new technology from the ground up, using so called "Trash Magic", a kind of art of making this new technology -- this would be practiced by *Trash [Wizards](wizard.md)* who for now will dwell in "cracks" of current system, e.g. in places that may be technically someone's private property but which can be secretly utilized anyway. Definition of free technology is provided which is very aligned with our own: it is stated such technology mustn't be just legally free (i.e. without [copyright](copyright.md), [patents](patent.md) etc.) but also mustn't e.g. require high expertise and most people must be able to create it (i.e. it must be [de facto](de_facto.md) free, with which we agree greatly). Principles of the "movement" state that, besides others, all technology must be free, all country borders must be abolished as well as the wage system and that capitalism can't be reformed, it has to be destroyed (by starting to give away free things that help those oppressed by capitalism, slowly creating a parallel world that will displace capitalism). The Trash Magic technology wouldn't be the same as it is today, it wants to erase all borders -- not only e.g. those between engineers and users but also for example between technology and [art](art.md); the aim is to automatize as much as possible with the use of [robots](robot.md), but the robots wouldn't be "cold machines", they would be "slimy" and "dirty", more similar to biological life, roaming the land and helping people. To be honest, the later part of the manifesto gets a bit weird, it's hard to tell if the author goes [schizophrenic](schizo.md) (most people would 100% call it autistic here) or really has some grand vision, but he goes on to stating thing such as that the kind of orderly, cold computer design of today is a product of white supremacists, that we have to get rid of hard numbers and incorporate more things such as "alchemy" and "potion making" to make liquids for the "slimy" robots, using things like "magic wands" and "[slimezistor](slimezistor.md)". It is advised to start by creating things from tree sticks, but the sticks must be picked from the ground to not harm the trees (this cute advice we appreciate). The book does have some clear, logical arguments, but is also a bit esoteric and spiritual (aside from being a manifesto it's also a coloring book) -- we understand this and also want to combine spirituality, art and technology, but here the author sometimes seems to go a bit over the line as if under an influence of some drug; while to [us](lrs.md) an elegant mathematical formula is art, it seems (but maybe we're wrong) that the author rather imagines infantile colorful drawings (like [xxiivv](xxiivv.md) for example) in a math paper to be "art" (to us this is a very shallow view of what art is). The manifesto states each piece of technology should come with a "tale" and "lore" to have some kind of sentimental value (that's supposed to oppose its price, the capitalist quantitative value), it's almost as if this was written by a [woman](woman.md). Further on great speculation follows, very detailed descriptions and propsitions of various robots are given, new terms are defined, there is even a small section of fiction. The other works go even much deeper, defining thing like the *Geometron* ("thinking about technology in geometric terms") etcetc., but that's already all too complex to all summarize here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All in all Trash Magic seem net good so far, some parts are very good, some are at least entertaining, many ideas are very close to [LRS](lrs.md) but we have to be aware of the lurking [SJW](sjw.md) danger.

USA also has the worst justice system in the world, they literally let angry mob play judges in actual courts, they pick random trash from the streets (similarly to how they choose their presidents) and let them decide someone's guilt for giving them free lunch, which they call "jury duty". This is not a [joke](jokes.md), look it up, in USA you'll literally be judged by random amateurs who have no clue about law and will just judge you based on whether they like your face or not. You can't make this up.
