**Brain game** is brain software which is a [game](game.md), i.e. servers to entertain the user. This kind of brain software may be also very important, for example it can make being in prison more bearable and therefore makes an individual less afraid of prison. **Brain game** is brain software which is a [game](game.md), i.e. serves to entertain the user. This kind of brain software may be also very important, for example it can make being in prison more bearable and therefore makes an individual less afraid of prison.
Example of brain software (and brain game) can be the [game](game.md) of [chess](chess.md). A chess master can easily play the game without a physical chess board, only in his head, and he can play games with someone else just by saying the moves out loud. He may even just play games with himself, which makes chess a deep, entertaining game that can be 100% contained in one's brain. Such game can never be taken away from the man, it can't be altered by [corporations](corporation.md), it can't become unplayable on new [hardware](hardware.md) etc., making it free to the greatest extent. Many other board games and pen and pencil games, such as [racetrack](racetrack.md) (pen and pencil racing game suitable for one or many players).

- **GNU also doesn't mind proprietary non-functional data** (e.g. assets in video games). This goes against [free culture](free_culture.md) and many other free software groups, notably e.g. [Debian](debian.md). Justifications for this range from "data itself can't be harmful" (false), through "we just focus on software" to "we need GNU to be more popular" (i.e. compatible with proprietary games and so on). GNU is also generally **NOT supportive of [free culture](free_culture.md) and even uses copyright to prohibit modifications of their propaganda texts**: the [GFDL](gfdl.md) license they use for texts may contain sections that are prohibited from being modified and so are non-free by definition. They also try to "protect" their names, you can't use the name "GNU" without their permission and so on. This sucks big time and shows some of the movement's darker side. - **GNU also doesn't mind proprietary non-functional data** (e.g. assets in video games).

- **GNU is leaning towards dystopian, [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md)-style thought control**. Now of course let us say GNU does a lot of good and is not (at least yet) nowhere near as evil as any [corporation](corporation.md) for example, however some big red flags appear for example in their *Free System Distribution Guidelines* (FSDG) by which they POLITICALLY [censor](censor.md) software -- let us repeat that political censorship is taking place here, not just filtering of non-free software. FSDG will for example exclude any software from GNU approved repositories which merely *recommends* proprietary software OR *allows* installing it. This here is an authority doing thinking and ethical judgments for the people. It's without question we disapprove of proprietary software too of course, but it should never be the case that authorities should filter works for users based on their interpretation of the work, that is extremely, extremely dangerous and a repeatedly proven recipe for disaster. The service which software repository offers to the user must only ever be a simple, almost automated check -- for example of whether a repository has a free license -- but it must NEVER do thinking for the user. And this is what GNU does. - **GNU is leaning towards dystopian, [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md)-style thought control**.

- **GNU embraces complexity, plays the corporate game and rejects the true way of freedom through [minimalism](minimalism.md)**. GNU basically just makes a mantra of "license with 4 freedoms on every software" and will mostly ignore everything else, they'll just do whatever it takes to stick with the mantra, i.e. GNU tries to achieve popularity, it tries to [fight](fight_culture.md) corporations, gets into activism, it will abuse copyright -- basically GNU wants to become a "superpower of freedom", it doesn't mind hierarchy, state, control, it wants to replace corporations in holding the power over technology, naively believing that it will be using the power for good. That's why they embrace complexity and harmful ways of [capitalist software](capitalist_software.md) (e.g. "GUI in everything", "fuck Unix", ...), that is why they simply copy proprietary software 1 to 1, just with a free license, it helps them be popular (people can drop in replace their proprietary software with GNU software), it also helps them get a [monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md) they don't mind (remember, they even ask people to transfer their copyright to them) as they DO want to become a centralized superpower. Where corporations push JavaScript on websites, GNU will just try to make sure the JavaScript has a free license, instead of rejecting the idea of JavaScript on websites. Where a corporation makes a "smart home", GNU will try to do the same, just with free software, instead of rejecting such a dumb idea in the first place. Anyone who ever saw anything from [history](history.md) knows it's not possible for a good superpower to exist -- no matter how pure it starts, with power WILL come corruption no matter what, any superpower will ALWAYS become evil. The TRUE way of freedom is simply abolishing all superpowers, embracing minimalism and giving power to the people instead of trying to fix maximalism and believe a monopoly will somehow be good. Just take a look at [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) as a recent example of how these things end. This philosophy is what helps GNU be big in short term but it's also what will kill it in the long term. - **GNU embraces complexity, plays the corporate game and rejects the true way of freedom through [minimalism](minimalism.md)**.
