**Logistic map** is often given as the typical example of a chaotic system. It is the series defined as *x[n + 1] = r * (1 - x[n])*, which for some constant *r* (interpreted as speed of population increase) says how a population evolves from some starting value *x[0]*; for low *x[n]* the population will be increasing proportionally by the rate of *r* but once it reaches a higher value, it will start decreasing (as if by starvation), resulting in oscillation. Now if we only start to be interested in changing the value *r* and then seeing at what value the population stabilizes (for a big *n*), we make some interesting discoveries. This is best seen by plotting the stable values (let's say *x[1000]*) depending on *r*. For *r* approximately between 3.57 and 4 we start to see a chaotic behavior, with results greatly depending on the initial population value (*x[0]*). This demonstrates chaotic behavior.

The basic principle of free speech says that **if you don't support freedom of speech which you dislike, you don't support free speech**. I.e. speech that you hate does not equal hate speech.
|
||||
|
||||
Free speech is based on the observation that firstly limiting speech is extremely harmful, and secondly that **speech itself never harms anyone**, it is only actions that harm and we should therefore focus on the actions themselves. A death threat or call for someone's murder doesn't kill -- sure, it may lead to someone being killed, but so may for example playing sports. If any kind of speaking leads to people dying, you have a deep issue withing your society that definitely does NOT lie in not applying enough censorship; trying to solve your issue with censorship here is like trying to solve depression by physically deforming the depressed man's face into a smile and pretending he's OK. Offending someone by pointing out he's an idiot also doesn't count as speech causing harm, it's just a sad case of someone who is unable to bear hearing truth (or a lie), in which case he shouldn't be listening to people any more than someone with epilepsy should be watching seizure inducing videos.

Some idiots (like that [xkcd](xkcd.md) #1357) say that free speech is only about legality, i.e. about what's merely allowed to be said by the law or what speech the law "protects". Of course, **this is completely wrong** and just reflects this society's obsession with law; true free speech mustn't be limited by anything -- if you're not allowed to say something, it doesn't matter too much what it is that's preventing you, your speech is not free. By the twisted logic of "free speech with consequences" you always have free speech, even in North Korea -- you aren't PHYSICALLY prevented to speak, you just have to bear responsibility for your speech, in this case a bullet. A bullet is a bullet, be it from a government gun or a drug cartel gun, a gun pointed at one's face always makes one not want to talk, no matter who the gun belongs to. If for example it is theoretically legal to be politically incorrect and criticize the LGBT gospel but you [de-facto](de_facto.md) can't do it because the LGBT fascist [SJWs](sjw.md) would [cancel](cancel_culture.md) you and maybe even physically lynch you, your speech is not free. It is important to realize **we mustn't tie free speech to legal definition** (also considering that a [good society](less_retarded_society.md) aims to eliminate law itself), i.e. it isn't enough to make speech free only in legal sense, a **TRUE free speech plainly and simply means anyone can literally say what he wants without any fear at all**. Our goal is to make speech free [culturally](culture.md), i.e. teach people that we should let others speak freely, even those -- and especially those -- who we disagree with.

**Free speech extends even to such actions as shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre.** In a good society with free speech people don't behave like monkeys, they will not trust a mere shout without having a further proof of there actually being fire and even if they suspect there is fire, they will not panic as that's a retarded things to do.

Despite what the propaganda says **there is no free speech in our society**, the only kind of speech that is allowed is that which either has no effect or which the system desires for its benefit. **Illusion of free speech is sustained by letting people speak until they actually start making a change** -- once someone's speech leads to e.g. revealing state secrets or historical truths (e.g. about [Holocaust](holocaust.md), human [races](race.md) or government crimes -- see [wikileaks](wikileaks.md)) or to destabilizing economy or state, such speech is labeled "harmful" in some way (hate speech, intellectual property violation, revealing of confidential information, instigating crime, defamation etc.), censored and punished. Even though nowadays just pure censorship laws are being passed on daily basis, even in times when there are seemingly no specific censorship laws and so it seems that "we have free speech" there always exist generic laws that can be fit to any speech, such as those against "inciting violence", "terrorism", "undermining state interests", "hate speech" or any other fancy issue, which can be used to censor absolutely any speech the government pleases, even if such speech has nothing to do with said causes -- it is enough that some state lawyer can find however unlikely possible indirect link to such cause: this could of course be well seen e.g. in the cases of [Covid](covid.md) flu or Russia-Ukraine war. Even though there were e.g. no specific laws in European countries against supporting Russia immediately after the war started, government immediately started censoring and locking up people who supported Russia on the Internet, based on the above mentioned generic laws. These laws work on the same principle as [backdoor](backdoor.md) in software: they are advocated as a "safety" "feature" and allow complete takeover of the system, but are mostly unused until the right time comes, to give the users a sense of being safe ("I've been using this backdoored CPU for years and nothing happened, so it's safe"); unlike with software backdoor though the law backdoor isn't usually removed after it has been exploited, people are just too stupid to notice this and governments can get away with keeping the laws in place, so they do.

# Thrembo
|
||||
|
||||
Thrembo is a fictional whole number lying between numbers 6 and 7, it's a subject of [jokes](joke.md) and [conspiracy theories](conspiracy.md), it is represented by a symbol with [Unicode](unicode.md) symbol U+03EB. It originated as a schizo post on [4chan](4chan.md) in 2021 by someone implying there's some kind of conspiracy to hide the existence of number called *thrembo*, who was of course in turn advised to take his meds, however the [meme](meme.md) has already been started.
