 **How is this different from other ideologies and "life philosophies"?** Well, one principal difference is that **LRS doesn't want to [fight](fight_culture.md)**, in fact LRS adopts a **[pessimistic](pessimism.md), [defeatist](defeatism.md) mindset** to not compromise [morality](morality.md) by any desire to "win the game", behaving correctly is more important than achieving a goal, ends do NOT justify the means. In order to establish a truly good society a crucial realization is that **harm is only ever done by those trying to force their ideas** -- it is even irrelevant what the ideas are, whether it's self-interest, equality, collectivism, sharing, important is only that forcing any idea will do harm, so giving up force and violence is the absolutely essential first step we have to make. That's in stark contrast with today's mentality. Nowadays as well as in the past society has always been about conflict, playing a **game** against others (nowadays e.g. market competition, employment competition, media competition, ...) in which some win, some can manage and some lose. Most political parties nowadays just want to change the rules of the game or downright switch to a different kind of game, some want to make the rules "more fair", or to make it favor their represented minority (so called [fascism](fascism.md)), some just want to [hack](hacking.md) the game, some want to [cheat](cheat.md) to win the game easily, some want to play fair but still win (i.e. become "successful"). LRS simply sees any kind of such game as unnecessary, cruel, unethical and harmful in many ways not just to us, but to the whole planet. LRS therefore simply wants to stop the game, not by force but by making everyone see how bad the game is. It says that **competition and conflict must seize to be the basis of society**. There is no value in achieving anything by violence, such a change will soon be reverted by counter revolution, people themselves have to understand what's good and choose it voluntarily. That is one of the reasons why we are **[pacifists](pacifism.md)** and **reject all violence**, only wanting to promote our ideas by [education](education.md). We accept we may not achieve our goals and we most certainly won't achieve anything during our lifetime and that gives us the freedom to behave truly morally. We try to **never be [proud](pride.md)** of anything, as pride leads to violence and fascism. We are also in many ways aligned with the ideals of **[cynicism](cynicism.md)**.
 
-Note that less retarded society is an ideal model, i.e. it can probably not be achieved 100% but it's something that gives us a direction and to which we can **get very close** with enough effort. We create an ideal theoretical model and then try to [approximate](approximation.md) it in reality, which is a [scientific](science.md) approach that is utilized almost everywhere: for example [mathematics](math.md) defines a perfect sphere and such a model is then useful in practice even if we cannot ever create a mathematically perfect sphere in the real physical world -- the mathematical equations of a sphere guide us so that with enough effort we are able to create physical spheres that are pretty close to an ideal sphere. The same can be done with society. This largely refutes the often given  argument that *"it's impossible to achieve so we shouldn't try at all"* -- we should try our best and the closer to the ideal we get, the better for us.

 In current society people wake up in the morning and go banging a head against a wall for the whole day, then they suffer from major headaches, sometimes acquire brain damage and their walls are red from all the blood. They try to solve this by investing into development of anti-headache medicine and researching paints that are cheap while covering the blood on the wall, some people spend centuries developing a wall material that's strong enough to hold the house but also locally soft so that it doesn't hurt that much to hit it with a head, but they created a system in which the material can only be used if some people throw enough pieces of paper that says "yes" into some kind of box and then some guy has to also draw a certain shape on a piece of paper, because otherwise it would be too easy. There are two major parties, one says you should hit the wall with your head as quickly as you can, the other one says you should hit it slowly but much stronger, then some smaller parties are something in between. Some very underground parties promote extremely progressive ideas such as leaving out the wall altogether and rather hitting yourself with a hammer because that's more efficient and the word *efficiency* [sounds good](shortcut_thinking.md). There are also organizations that overlook the discussion between these parties but they are corrupt so there is another organization that overlooks the previous organization. If you think it's all idiotic you're right -- the only sane group in the world is LRS that simply says: stop hitting walls with your heads you retards, it will solve everything and you'll get rid of all the [bullshit](bullshit.md) around as a bonus.
