Secondly the idea of getting rid of a state in capitalism doesn't even make sense because **if we get rid of the state, the strongest corporation will become the state**, only with the difference that state is at least *supposed* to work for the people while a corporation is only by its very definition supposed to care solely about its own endless profit on the detriment of people. Therefore if we scratch the state, McDonalds or Coca Cola or [Micro$oft](microsoft.md) -- whoever is the strongest -- hires a literal [army](military.md) and physically destroys all its competition, then starts ruling the world and making its own laws -- laws that only serve the further growth of that corporation such as that everyone is forced to work 16 hour shifts every day until he falls dead. Don't like it? They kill your whole family, no problem. 100% of civilization will experience the worst kind of suffering, maybe except for the CEO of McDonald's, the world corporation, until the planet's environment is destroyed and everyone hopefully dies, as death is what we'll wish for.
In addition to this the whole idea is also **[logically](logic.md) faulty** at the very basic level by assuming two contradictory premises at once: that people CANNOT behave morally and therefore need capitalism (money to ensure fairness, economic pressure etc.) to make them behave well, and that people CAN behave morally in the sense of purely voluntarily resisting "bad" things like establishing states. If an anarcho"capitalist" tries to educate people about harmfulness of state, believing he can turn people to change their behavior, he also has to accept it's possible to convince people in the same way that they can just behave well in general and won't need capitalism. There is no way out of this -- there are people, like [us](lrs.md), who believe that people can learn selfless moral behavior, and then there are people who don't believe it -- that's still fine as far as logic goes -- however "anarcho"capitalists try to believe both at once. That's not just stupidity squared, but probably cubed.

A typical "anarcho"capitalist is a redneck who probably thinks the only thing preventing him from beating a corporation at its own game is state holding him back with high taxes -- he thinks that if he's allowed to keep all his crops he'll become a beast starting his own business that will go on beating Facebook, i.e. he thinks that if he can keep all five of all five carrots he grows on his field, he will somehow become so powerful he can bring down an army of ten thousand men with the most advanced technology who by the way can now also keep all money it makes, because he heard this in some fairy tale about Henry Ford or something. Of course that's highly laughable and pathetic, but indeed typically [American](usa.md).

- **Engineering approximations** ("guesstimations"): e.g. **sin(x) = x** for "small" values of *x* or **[pi](pi.md) = 3** (integer instead of float).
- **[Physics engines](physics_engine.md)**: complex triangle meshes are approximated with simple analytical shapes such as **spheres**, **cuboids** and **capsules** or at least **convex hulls** which are much easier and faster to deal with. They also approximate **relativistic** physics with **Newtonian**.
- **Addition/subtraction** (of integers) can sometimes be approximated with logical [OR](or.md)/[AND](and.md) operations, as they behave a bit similarly. This can be used e.g. for brightening/darkening of pixel colors in [332](rgb332.md) or [565](rgb565.md) format -- without the approximation addition of colors in these formats is very expensive (basically requires conversion to RGB, addition, clamping and a conversion back).
- **[Square root](sqrt.md)/square** (integer) can be roughly approximated too. E.g. to get a quick "almost square" of a number you can try something like doubling each binary digit and shifting everything right, e.g. `101` -> `11001` -- it's not very accurate but may be [good enough](good_enough.md) e.g. for some graphics effects and may be especially effective as hardware implementation as it works instantly and uses literally no [logic gates](logic_gate.md) (you just reorder bits)! A bit improved version may construct a pair of digits from each digit as logical AND (upper bit) and logical OR (lower bit) of the bit with its lower neighbor (lowest bit may still just be doubled), e.g. `1101` -> `11010111`. Square root can similarly be roughly estimated by reducing each pair of bits with logical OR sown to a single bit (e.g. `101100` -> `110`). { Dunno if this is actually used anywhere, I came up with this once before I fell asleep. ~drummyfish } A famous hack in Quake, called *fast inverse square root*, uses a similar approximation in [floating point](float.md).
- **Division**: dividing by arbitrary number is often a slow operation, however dividing by powers of two is fast because it can be done with a simple bit shift -- so if we need to divide *x* let's say by 3, it may be faster to approximate by averaging *x* divided by 2 and *x* divided by 4 (both powers of two, computing average also needs just division by 2), i.e *x / 3 ~= ((x / 2) + (x / 4)) / 2 = 3/8 * x = (x + x + x) / 8* -- indeed, 3/8 is almost 1/3.
- **[Square root](sqrt.md)/square** (integer) can be roughly approximated too. E.g. to get a quick "almost square" of a number you can try something like doubling each binary digit and shifting everything right, e.g. `101` -> `11001` -- it's not very accurate but may be [good enough](good_enough.md) e.g. for some graphics effects and may be especially effective as hardware implementation as it works instantly and uses literally no [logic gates](logic_gate.md) (you just reorder bits)!

Square root can similarly be roughly estimated by reducing each pair of bits with logical OR down to a single bit (e.g. `101100` -> `110`). { Dunno if this is actually used anywhere, I came up with this once before I fell asleep. ~drummyfish } A famous hack in Quake, called *fast inverse square root*, uses a similar approximation in [floating point](float.md).
- **[3D graphics](3d_rendering.md)** is almost completely about approximations, e.g. basically all shapes are approximated with triangle meshes, [screen space](screen_space.md) effects (like [SSAO](ssao.md)) are used to approximate global illumination, reflections etc. Similarly [ray tracing](ray_tracing.md) neglects indirect lighting etcetc.
- **[Real numbers](real_number.md)** are practically always approximated with [floating point](floating_point.md) or [fixed point](fixed_point.md) (rational numbers).
- **[Numerical methods](numerical.md)** offer generality and typically yield approximate solutions while their precision vs speed can be adjusted via parameters such as number of iterations.

Art, like a [woman](woman.md), is beautiful and just like a woman it too often sells itself and becomes a whore, it is too difficult to find sincere, pure art like it is difficult to find a sincere love of a woman.
**Art is about acquiring big picture view.** Doing something by following steps of some [algorithm](algorithm.md) is not an art: this is something anyone can do without any experience, creativity or making use of intuition -- even a dumb machine can do this. A process turns into art once it becomes largely driven by very complex decision making done by the brain based on years and years of experience and deep, interconnected knowledge of all the the possible what ifs. A filmmaker cannot just start shooting a movie without having a head loaded with good knowledge of how cameras work, knowing about composition, visual aesthetics, sound, music, colors, acting, writing, editing, doing practical effects, digital effect and many, many other things -- it's not possible to say "I'll first shoot the movie and I'll learn about editing when I get to editing" because editing has to be taken into account already when shooting the movie, the work can only be started when it's already finished in the filmmaker's head. One must know what's important and what to focus on, have an idea of how long something will take to shoot in order to be able to even do any planning, and, importantly, be able to improvise, make spontaneous decisions that will be GOOD, because unexpected things will happen and the ability to make the correct decision in such a situation REQUIRES seeing into the future, seeing the context, the consequences and costs of possible decisions. That's why a director cannot be just someone who knows how to direct actors, he must be someone who knows EVERYTHING about all parts of the movie. Therefore if you want to become a true artist in your craft, you have to learn everything around it. A [capitalist](capitalism.md) will tell you to just learn one thing and ignore everything else that's "out of your responsibility" -- that won't make you an artist, that will just make you a tool. When you want to become an excellent programmer, you can't just limit yourself to learning one programming language and ignore areas that don't interest you too much, claiming "you'll learn it when you need it". You must learn all the areas to acquire different angle views, to collect a set of tools out of which you'll be able to always pick the most appropriate one; knowing just one way means you have just one tool, like going to build a house with just a screwdriver. So go and learn as much as you can, do not overspecialize, do not think you can just know very little and follow a tutorial to make art -- you cannot.

Great source of lesser known information and an alternative to modern censored sources. Also check out other similar encyclopedias.
- **[Flatland](flatland.md)** (Abbott, 1884): Absolutely amazing fantasy story set in two dimensional land with characters being geometric shapes, while being a critic of society to a big degree, it discusses practical and mathematical aspects of actually living in two dimensions, how the characters see, how they build their houses etc. It is now absolutely [public domain](public_domain.md)!
- **Free as in Freedom** (Sam Williams, 2002): Free-licensed official biography of [Richard Stallman](rms.md), contains many historical details about how [free software](free_software.md) came to be, how [open source](open_source.md) spoiled it etc.
- **Free Culture** (Lessig, 2004): Creative-commons licensed (non-free but gratis) book by the founder of [Creative Commons](creative_commons.md) and [free cutlure](free_culture.md), goes into details on how copyright became abused by capitalism, why public domain is being smothered and why we must support free culture.

A must read for fans of oldschool game programming.
- **Game Engine Black Book: Wolfenstein 3D** (Sanglard, 2019): Same as the Doom engine book from the same author, just about the older game Wolfenstein 3D, also amazing.
- **Guinness Book of World Records, BEFORE 2000**: The older books were excellent, ideally get some from 80s or earlier, there are funny records like most rats killed by cat in one hour, most primitive languages and so on.

- **extreme [brainwashing](brainwashing.md) and propaganda**: [Marketing](marketing.md) reaches extreme levels in capitalism, utilizing advanced psychological tricks and repetition to the point of becoming a torture, with the goal of teaching people brand loyalty, consumerist behavior etc. Application of this brainwashing even on children has already been normalized. Entrepreneurs create cults of personalities. There is now even a "legit" job called an [influencer](influencer.md) whose sole purpose is in spreading corporate propaganda on the Internet.
- **criminality**: This is a direct consequence of poverty, awful working conditions, [fight culture](fight_culture.md) and overall diminishing morality. Poor people (the absolute majority in the system) become desperate and do desperate things -- of course, all blame is put on them, not on those who are responsible for their poverty.
- **instability**: Lack of long term planning, extreme interdependence, monopolies over essential resources, fragility of the market, increasing wealth gap, pushing workers to poverty while taking away social security, eliminating self sufficiency, extreme waste and other phenomena pose great dangers of market collapses, violent strikes and revolutions, running out of resources, destruction of living environment and other disasters and even societal [collapse](collapse.md).
- **corruption**: Capital, i.e. money, is the only value in capitalism, money buys everything and everyone -- like the mafia says: "it's not personal, just business" -- whole society is just business and nothing more, power is merely a commodity to sell.
- **need for extremely complex market control and laws, burdening society**: As corporations are absolutely unethical and pursue evil goals such as enslaving workers and abuse of consumers, there have to be an extremely complex set of constantly evolving laws and bureaucracy just to somehow "make corporations behave". However laws are imperfect and corporations work 24/7 on bypassing them as well as on attacking and eliminating the laws themselves via lobbyist etc. This creates a constant, extremely expensive legal war-like game in which everyone has to take part, which is completely arbitrary and unnecessary and which eventually corporations will likely win.
- **uncontrolled growth**: Capitalism is likened to [cancer](cancer.md) as it requires a constant uncontrolled growth which on a planet of limited resources inevitably leads to a catastrophic scenario.
- **hyperspecialization, loss of self sufficiency**: Entities (people, cities, companies, states, ...) lose self sufficiency as they hyperspecialize in some task and in everything else rely on someone else. This complete dependence creates slavery and danger -- in an event of a blackout for example people cannot survive as they cannot make their own food, they can't repair their basic tools etc.
- **loss of humanity**: In capitalism humans are just consumers, machines for production and "resources" -- corporations now routinely use these terms (*human resources department* etc.). People are brainwashed to no longer even see it as concerning to be called such terms. People's worth is only in how much they can work or consume.
- **loss of humanity, human values, virtues, good relationships and higher goals**: In capitalism humans are just [consumers](consumerism.md), machines for production and "resources" -- corporations now routinely use these terms (*human resources department* etc.). People are brainwashed to no longer even see it as concerning to be called such terms. People's worth is only in how much they can work or consume. ALL things become a matter or business and competition, both economically and psychologically -- even romantic love becomes more akin a business partnership, people sign contracts before marriage and with any material hardship divorce comes inevitably, calculation prevails over feelings and it's seen as a completely normal thing. **Truth itself is destroyed in capitalism**, information and public opinion become so valuable to business that truth is something that gets sold by "[scientists](soyence.md)", [marketing](marketing.md) and public media propaganda, whatever "fact" a politician needs to be true, he can make it so just by paying money -- that is why people become paranoid, "conspiracy theories" flourish because science has sold itself like a whore and there is no one to trust, gone are the times when people had higher shared goals such as exploration, creation of art, want of seeking the truth, when a science authority or newspaper could be trusted because one might rely on scientists and journalists to have at least some virtues and love for their craft. A science authority or famous journalist is nowadays just an expensive prostitute.
- **abuse of animals**: In capitalism animals are just products and resources, they are kept in very bad conditions just to be killed for meat or other purpose. They are slaughtered by millions just so we can overeat to morbid obesity. Maximizing profit dictates no money should be spent on animal comfort.
- **[productivity cult](productivity_cult.md)**: People are brainwashed and forced into becoming robots whose sole purpose is to produce. Working overtimes, skipping lunch, minimizing sleep etc. has already become part of the work culture for example in USA and Japan.
- **financial crises**: Crises are as regular and certain in capitalism as rain is in the nature, and possibly much more unpredictable; every crisis hurts everyone but the strongest corporations, whom it in turn makes stronger. People become poorer and great many small and mid-size businesses, i.e. potential competition to the big guys, either die to a bankrupt or are forced to let themselves be devoured by the big guys. This further accelerated the scissors effect, making poor poorer (i.e. better abusable) and rich richer. This is also yet another reason why the small "good guy"/"not only for profit" companies always lose, they simply refuse to steal the food of others to eat themselves obese before a famine and so they will die during the next famine or the next or the one after it. Only the bad guys survive many series of crises.
- **everything is fake**: Everything is rotten and corrupted on the inside with an extreme effort towards putting up a misleading good looking facade. TV shows, including "news", are all staged (even those swearing not to be, no producer is going to invest money in something depending on pure luck), smiles and emotion of people you meet in workplace or see on ads, women's tits, butts and faces, men's muscles, photos on social media, food that has basically no food in it, even news and facts, everything is fake. Investigating any area (government, working conditions, technology, healthcare, education, charities, academia and "[science](soyence.md)", ...) a bit in depth practically always leads to unrevealing how corrupt it actually is despite it looking nice and ideal at the first look.
- **loss of ownership**: Even that which is most saint to a capitalist -- property and the ability to own things -- is greatly lost under capitalism. This happens with the trend of everything becoming a service, a typical example of which is so called "[software as a service](saas.md)". While in the past one would buy a physical copy of a program that he would at least physically own forever, nowadays many programs become a subscription service, e.g. games, movies and music are no longer something you buy but just buy a one time ticket for. But this trend is everywhere, artificial obsolescence tries to limit durability of physical goods such electronic devices so that one has to keep consuming them like a service.
- **[rape effect](rape_effect.md)**: The mechanisms of capitalism work in such ways that everyone gets progressively more raped with any further advance of capitalism.
- **endangering existence of all life**: The mentioned destruction of environment, lack of long term planning, irresponsibility and instability along with creating a dangerous overdependence on technology and interconnections of self insufficient states and cities is just waiting for a disaster such as [CME](cme.md) that immediately collapses the civilization and consequently endangers all life on Earth e.g. by meltdowns in nuclear plants or possible nuclear wars as a consequence of panic. The absolute preference of immediate profit is hostile towards investments in future and precautions. RIP.

- *"Capitalism just works, capitalism is natural, capitalism means [progress](progress.md) etc."* -- **Capitalism doesn't work, it's just hard to get rid of.** Progress isn't dependent on capitalism, progress can't be stopped and will be here even without capitalism, on the contrary, capitalism mostly smothers the good kind of progress, e.g. by inventing intellectual property it prevents full utilization of us having the technology for unlimited sharing and reusing of information. If it "works and is natural", then it works and is natural natural in the same way as for example cancer or wars. This doesn't mean we should support it or see it as something positive. Most of other similar lies are discussed in sections above.
- *"Capitalism produces best quality products for lowest prices."* -- An extremely prevailing myth that is a complete 100% lie, it is enough to take a look at anything produces in capitalism and before it, for example in countries that switched from "communism" to capitalism. Capitalist products last about 1% of the time they normally would due to artificial obsolescence and consumerism, they are littered with [DRM](drm.md), [bloat](bloat.md), surveillance technology, made from cheapest material, designed to break, show ads and so on. Capitalism aims to produce the lowest quality product that will just barely be accepted, anything better is wasting profit. { As a curiosity compare for example movie dubbings in countries during "communist" and later capitalist eras (e.g. Hungary or Czechia) -- ask the people who live there, they will tell you the old dubbing was art, made with care, the new dubbing is a hasted shit produced as cheaply and quickly as possible. ~drummyfish }
- Fairy tales about about the rich "capitalist altruist": you will hear stories about famous capitalists that paint them as nice guys who give to poor for free, who do manual work despite not having to etc. This is just part of cult of personality propaganda and applying cheap populist tricks to deceive masses. A rich guy giving $100 to a poor kid on camera is an extreme powerful marketing that costs $100, which for a billionaire is of course a laughable cost. The fact is that every billionaire is the best player of the most dirty game humanity has invented and researching any such guy reveals, basically in 100% of cases, that he was in fact the worst imaginable psychopath -- Edison killed animals with electric current as part of marketing, the owner of McDonald's stole the idea and know-how from McDonald brothers ALONG WITH their own name, similar thing happened with KFC, Steve Jobs was infamous for his psychological pressure on workers equating torture, the working condition's in Ford's factories were basically the same as those for black African slaves, etcetc. **Trying to find a rich man that's good is like trying to find a shark who's a vegetarian.**
- "You sometimes have to suffer unpleasant things in life." -- It is true that living a good life involves SOMETIMES voluntarily choosing to undergo suffering for things you feel are MORALLY GOOD. Capitalists turn this on its head and tell you: you have to suffer CONSTANTLY and do things you hate and know that are MORALLY WRONG, because that's "how life is" (because we made it to be that way). See the difference, refuse to conform.
- *"Capitalism isn't perfect but it's the best system we know."*: complete [bullshit](bullshit.md), capitalism is probably the worst system that there ever was. See this whole article.
- *"Successful capitalists are the most intelligent people."*: on the contrary, mostly the stupidest people become successful -- success in capitalism depends mostly on luck and lack of moral obstacles, i.e. doing whatever it takes to succeed such as stabbing friends in the back, public lying, exploitation of workers etc. High intelligence is actually a disadvantage in this manner as it makes one see all the negative consequences of his behavior, a smart man sees that by engaging in capitalism he is not just hurting and even killing other people, but even e.g. working towards destruction of art, culture, living environment and possibly life itself. Being a successful businessman in capitalism is like steering a plane full of people, including oneself, towards ground -- only an idiot can do it.
- *"The first word a baby says is "mine" therefore capitalism proven.*: indeed a candidate for the top 1 retarded arguments that only a newborn level brain (like Frank Zappa size) might produce :D First word a human says is usually something like "aaaaaeeeerrrrrffff".

Censorship constitutes intentional effort towards hiding any kind of [information](information.md) from someone, e.g. preventing exchange of certain kind of information among individuals, suppression of [free speech](free_speech.md), altering old works of [art](art.md) for political reasons, forced takedowns of [copyrighted](copyright.md) material from the [Internet](internet.md) and so forth. I.e. hiding information from SOMEONE ELSE is censorship, but note this definition does NOT include every kind of data or information filtering, for example censorship does not include filtering out [noise](noise.md) such as [spam](spam.md) on a forum or static from audio (as noise is a non-information) or PERSONAL avoidance of certain information (e.g. using [adblock](adblock.md) or hiding someone's forum posts ONLY FOR ONESELF) -- censorship simply means one prevents someone else from reaching some knowledge. Censorship often **hides under euphemisms** such as "[moderation](moderation.md)", "[safe space](safe_space.md)", "peer review", "[filtering](filter.md)", "protection", "delisting", "deplatforming", "fact check", "isolation" etc. **Censorship is always [wrong](bad.md)** -- [good society](less_retarded_society.md) must be compatible with truth, thus there must never be a slightest reason to censor anything -- whenever censorship is deemed the best solution, something within the society is deeply fucked up. In current society censorship, along with [propaganda](propaganda.md), brainwashing and misinformation, is extremely prevalent and growing -- it's being pushed not only by [governments](government.md) and [corporations](corporation.md) but also by harmful terrorist groups such as [LGBT](lgbt.md) and [feminism](feminism.md) who force media censorship (e.g. that of [Wikipedia](wikipedia.md) or search engines) and punishment of free speech (see [political correctness](political_correctness.md) and "[hate speech](hate_speech.md)").
Sometimes you can actually **exploit the effort of censors to get to the good content** -- look up a blacklist (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Blocked_websites_by_country, https://peertube_isolation.frama.io/list/peertube_isolation.txt and so on), then you have a list of interesting places you probably want to visit :) For [political cowardice](political_correctness.md) blacklistst are nowadays also called "block lists", "isolation lists" etc. -- just look for those.

Sometimes it is not 100% clear which action constitutes censorship: for example categorization such as moving a forum post from one thread to another (possibly less visible) thread may or may not be deemed censorship -- this depends on the intended result of such action; moving a post somewhere else doesn't remove it completely but can make it less visible. Whether something is censorship always depends on the answer to the question: "does the action prevent others from information sharing?".

**White is generally seen as having a slight advantage over black** (just like in [real life](irl.md) lol). It is because he always has the first move -- statistics also seems to support this as white on average wins a little more often. This doesn't play such as big role in beginner and intermediate games but starts to become apparent in master games. How big the advantages is is a matter of ongoing debate, most people are of the opinion there exists a slight advantage for the white (with imperfect play, i.e. that white plays easier, tolerates slightly less accurate play), though most experts think chess is a draw with perfect play (pro players can usually quite safely play for a draw and secure it if they don't intend to win; world championships mostly consist of drawn games as really one player has to make a mistake to allow the other one to win). Minority of experts think white has theoretical forced win. Probably only very tiny minority of people think white doesn't have any advantage. Some people argue black has some advantages over white, as it's true that sometimes the obligation to make a move may be a disadvantage. Probably no one thinks black has a forced win, though that's not disproved yet so maybe someone actually believes it.
**Blindfold play**: it's quite impressive that very good players can play completely blindfold, without any actual chessboard, and some can even play many games simultaneously this way. This is indeed not easy to do and playing blindfold naturally decreases one's strength a bit (it seems this is more of a case on lower level of play though). It is however not the case that only an exceptional genius could play this way, probably anyone can learn it, it's just a matter of training. Probably all masters (above FIDE ELO 2000) can play blindfold. They say the ability comes naturally just by playing countless games. How to learn playing blindfold then? Just play a lot of chess, it will come naturally -- this is the advice probably most often given. However if you specifically wish to learn blindfold play, you may focus on it, e.g. by training blindfold against very weak computer. Some software chess boards offer a mode in which one can see the position and color of all men but not which type they are -- this may perhaps be a good start.
On **perfect play**: as stated, chess is unlikely to be ever solved so it is unknown if chess is a theoretical forced draw or forced win for white (or even win for black), however many simplified endgames and some simpler chess variants have already been solved. Even if chess was ever solved, it is important to realize one thing: **perfect play may be unsuitable for humans** and so even if chess was ever solved, it might have no significant effect on the game played by humans. Imagine the following: we have a chess position in which we are deciding between move *A* and move *B*. We know that playing *A* leads to a very good position in which white has great advantage and easy play (many obvious good moves), however if black plays perfectly he can secure a draw here. We also know that if we play *B* and then play perfectly for the next 100 moves, we will win with mathematical certainty, but if we make just one incorrect move during those 100 moves, we will get to a decisively losing position. While computer will play move *B* here because it is sure it can play perfectly, it is probably better to play *A* for human because human is very likely to make mistakes (even a master). For this reason humans may willingly choose to play mathematically worse moves -- it is because a slightly worse move may lead to a safer and more comfortable play for a human.
Fun fact: there seem to be **almost no black people in [chess](chess.md)** :D the strongest one seems to be Pontus Carlsson which rates number 1618 in the world; even [women](woman.md) seem to be much better at chess than black people. But how about black women? [LMAO](lmao.md), it seems like there haven't even been any black female masters :'D The web is BLURRY on these facts, but there seems to be a huge excitement about one black female, called Rochelle Ballantyne, who at nearly 30 years old has been sweating for a decade to reach the lowest master rank (the one which the nasty oppressive white boys get at like 10 years old) and MAYBE SHE'LL DO IT, she seems to have with all her effort and support of the whole Earth overcome the 2000 rating, something that thousands of amateurs on the net just causally do every day without even trying too much. But of course, it's cause of the white male oppression =3 lel { anti-disclaimer :D Let's be reminded [we](lrs.md) love all people, no matter skin color or gender. We are simply stating facts about nature, which don't always respect political correctness. ~drummyfish }

@ -6,7 +6,11 @@ NOTE: Besides corporations there also exist non-corporate companies -- privately
The most basic fact to know about corporations is that **100% of everything a corporation ever does is done 100% solely for maximizing its own benefit for any cost, with no other reason, with 0 morality and without any consideration of consequences**. If a corporation could make 1 cent by raping 1000000000 children and get away with it, it would do so immediately without any hesitation and any regret. This is very important to keep in mind. Now try to not get depressed at realization that corporations are those to whom we gave power and who are in almost absolute control of the world.
**Corporation is not a human, it has zero sense of morality and no emotion.** The most basic error committed by retards is to reply to this argument with "but corporations are run by humans". This is an extremely dangerous argument because somehow 99.999999999999999999% people believe this could be true and accept it as a comforting argument so that they can continue their daily lives and do absolutely nothing about the disastrous state of society. The argument is of course completely false for a number of reasons: firstly corporations exclusively hire psychopaths for manager roles -- any corporation that doesn't do this will be eliminated by natural selection of the market environment because it will be weaker in a [fight](fight_culture.md) against other corporations, and its place will be taken by the next aspiring corporation waiting in line. Secondly corporations are highly sophisticated machines that have strong mechanisms preventing any ethical behavior -- for example division of labor in the "[just doing my job](just_doing_my_job.md)"/"[everyone does it](everyone_does_it.md)" style allows for many people collaborating on something extremely harmful and unethical without any single one feeling responsibility for the whole, or sometimes without people even knowing what they are really collaborating on. This is taken to perfection by corporations not even having a single responsible owner -- there is a group of shareholders, none of whom has a sole responsibility, and there is the CEO who is just a tool and puppet with tied hands who is just supposed to implement the collective bidding of shareholders. Of course, most just don't care, and most don't even have a choice. Similar principles allowed for example the [Holocaust](holocaust.md) to happen. Anyone who has ever worked anywhere knows that managers always pressure workers just to make money, not to behave more ethically -- of course, such a manager would be fired on spot -- and indeed, workers that try to behave ethically are replaced by those who make more money, just as companies that try to behave ethically in the market are replaced by those that rather make money, i.e. corporations. This is nothing surprising, the definition of [capitalism](capitalism.md) implies existence of a system with Darwinian evolution that selects entities that are best at making money for any cost, and that is exactly what we are getting. To expect any other outcome in capitalism would be just trying to deny mathematics itself.

Somehow people are surprised when they see let's say a game company make huge hypes and promises of revolutionary new games and then delivering a completely different, absolutely shitty product (e.g. Warcraft Reforged, GTA "definitive" edition, Cyberpunk and countless other scams) -- "How can this company be so evil and lie so blatantly? Don't they know lying is bad? How can they promise something they can't make? Don't they care about their customers?" Of course not, lying is profitable and there is no one who's to blame in the company -- the [marketing](marketing.md) department's task is to just maximize hype and attention, their job is only to make promises and they know it's the developer's job to deliver on those promises, and on the other hand the developer's job is to just do what he can and not care about marketing and PR, from his point of view unrealistic promise is the marketing department's fail. I.e. both are just doing their job, they don't even have any other choice (else they get fired), no one is responsible, no one feels any guilt. This is a corporation using human intelligence while removing human conscience.
This is further taken to perfection by corporations not even having a single responsible owner -- there is a group of shareholders, none of whom has a sole responsibility, and there is the CEO who is just a tool and puppet with tied hands who is just supposed to implement the collective bidding of shareholders. Of course, most just don't care, and most don't even have a choice. Similar principles allowed for example the [Holocaust](holocaust.md) to happen.

To expect any other outcome in capitalism would be just trying to deny mathematics itself.
A corporation is made to exploit people just as a gun is made to kill people. When a corporation commits a crime, it is not punished like a human would be, the corporation is left to exist and continue doing what it has been doing -- a supposed "punishment" for a corporation that has been caught red handed committing a crime is usually just replacing whoever is ruled to be "responsible", for example the CEO, which is of course ridiculous, the guy is just replaced with someone else who will do exactly the same. This is like trying to fix the lethal nature of a weapon by putting all the blame on a screw in the weapon, then replacing the screw with another one and expecting the weapon to no longer serve killing people.

If something that used to work stops working, it's a **[regression](regression.md)**. Here the first step towards fixing it is finding which exact change to the program broke it, i.e. find the last software version before the bug that didn't have the bug -- for this version control systems like [git](git.md) are very cool as they allows you to switch between different commits. In this search apply the binary search principle again (just like you search a word in a dictionary, i.e. keep checking the middle commit and move either before or after it depending on whether it already has the bug or not). Once you find the offending commit it's usually easy to spot the bug, you just have a relatively small amount of code in the commit which you can keep checking by parts if it's not immediately obvious (i.e. try to recreate the commit part by part and see when exactly it breaks, this moves you yet closer to the bug).
### Recording The Data, Plotting, Visualizing
Some bugs may be not so easy to grasp by it being hard to even point out exactly what is happening wrong, for example slight graphical or sound glitches when you notice something a bit off, like a camera suddenly jumping a bit -- here it may help keep continuous track of various variables, e.g. the camera transformation and other [vectors](vector.md) -- by purely printing them out or even plotting them -- and then note when the bug appeared: for example you may simply close the program immediately after you notice the bug, and then you know you should be looking for something weird happening near the end in the log of the data and their graphs. Maybe you'll notice the camera jumps when its rotation angle switches from negative to positive, when its rotation aligns with a principal axis or something similar -- this may very well point you to the core of the issue.
### Debuggers And Other Debugging Tools Like Profilers
There exist many software tools specialized for just helping with debugging (there are even physical hardware debuggers etc.), they are either separate software (good) or integrated as part of some development environment (bad by [Unix philosophy](unix_philosophy.md)) such as an [IDE](ide.md), web browser etc. Nowadays a compiler itself will typically do some basic checks and give you warning about many things, but oftentimes you have to turn them on (check man pages of your compiler).

- **How is this different from "communism", "socialism" and other movements/ideologies that brought so much suffering and eventually failed anyway?** We are very different especially by NOT advocating revolutions, violence and forceful application of our ideas, we simply educate, show what's wrong and what the solution is. Harm has only ever been done by forcing specific ideas, no matter whether rightist or leftist ones -- the key in preventing harm is to avoid the temptation of forcing ideas. We know that only a voluntary, non-violent change based on facts and rational thinking can succeed in long term. The mistake of every failed "utopian" ideology was that it was forced, oppressive and in the end served only a few as opposed to everyone, no matter what the initial idea was. These ideologies fought other ideologies, creates cults of personalities and propaganda to manipulate masses. We do not fight anyone, we simply show the truth and offer it to people and believe that this truth can't be unseen. Once enough people see the truth and know what the logical solution is, a change will happen naturally, peacefully and inevitably, without any force.
- **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.
- **Isn't your society unnatural?** In many way yes, it's unnatural just as clothes, medicine, computers or humans living over 70 years are unnatural. 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.

Instead of the rat utopia urban legend try the *cat utopia* project yourself: buy a cat, give it love, home, food, toys, leisure, freedom and healthcare for free, see if it gets depressed -- many people have performed this experiment over and over and it usually turns out the animal is the happiest being under the Sun.

- **Why are you [defeatist](defeatism.md)? Don't you think it's just pointless trying to achieve something while believing you already failed?** Firstly being defeated doesn't mean disappearing completely, we know we will fail but we'll leave a seed of something that can't eventually be stopped from growing: LRS is extremely ahead of its time -- not by 50 years or 100 years, but more like several thousand years, maybe millions. Monkeys aim to prevail during their life time and by getting at the top of some kind of mountain or social pyramid, by hoarding X wealth, passing some law, creating some kind of country or whatever -- that's completely worthless animal behavior, we aim to achieve something truly significant and good instead which will take longer than our lifetime and will require behaving without self interest and [competition](competition.md). Just like abacus was the very first step towards inventing today's [computers](computer.md), LRS is in this sense the very first step to inventing a truly good society. It is first by completely letting go of all [bullshit](bullshit.md), every single one, including things like "winner mentality", which is why there are almost no supporters, everyone [fails](fail_ab.md) by keeping to the old ways at least in some points. We aim for truth and good, not for winning -- giving up the goal of winning makes us able to take the moral decision in situations when we have to choose between winning and behaving correctly.
- **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).

# Raycasting
In [computer graphics](graphics.md) raycasting refers to a rendering technique in which we determine which parts of the scene should be drawn according to which parts of the scene are hit by rays cast from the camera; it is a simpler version of **[raytracing](raytracing.md)**. The whole idea is based on the observation that we can trace rays of light that enter the camera by going BACKWARDS, i.e. instead of tracing light from light sources we rather start from the camera and go towards the parts of the scene that reflected the light (by which we ensure we are only considering the RELEVANT paths of light that actually end up hitting the camera) -- that is we are asking the question "in order for this screen pixel to light up, where would the light be coming from?", and then computing the answer to the question. A simplified way to quickly imagine what's going on is therefore to think of drawing the scene via "scanning" it with some kind of laser beam originating from the camera -- of course we do this [mathematically](math.md), using [analytic geometry](analytic_geometry.md), i.e. finding intersections of the rays with geometric shapes by solving algebraic equations. Despite perhaps sounding intimidating at first, raycasting is one of the [simplest](minimalism.md) rendering methods, and for that it is also quite elegant -- [we](lrs.md) definitely do recommend it.

We may also say it's a simpler version of the popular algorithm called **[raytracing](raytracing.md)**, or perhaps that raycasting is the initial idea of rendering via casting rays, which subsequently inspires many improvements and extensions like recursive rays (raytracing), [Monte Carlo](monte_carlo.md) sampling (pathtracing), using cones instead of lines (conetracting) etc. The whole idea is based on the observation that we can trace rays of light that enter the camera by going BACKWARDS, i.e. instead of tracing light from light sources we rather start from the camera and go towards the parts of the scene that reflected the light (by which we ensure we are only considering the RELEVANT paths of light that actually end up hitting the camera) -- that is we are asking the question "in order for this screen pixel to light up, where would the light be coming from?", and then computing the answer to the question.

Raycasting is an **image order** rendering method, meaning that we iterate over the pixels of the screen and for each determine its [color](color.md) (as opposed to object order methods that iterate over 3D objects that are then "pasted" to the screen). I.e. the image can be drawn in any order -- let's say from top left to bottom right -- and without drawing any pixel more than once or leaving out any.

This is how capitalism will be able to sustain itself no matter what -- even if people slowly realized capitalism is bad, it will just be renamed to something else like "Progressive Lesbian Smart Communist [Modern](modern.md) Technologianism" -- it will be exactly the same as capitalism but people will accept it because it won't have the letters C, A, P, I, T, A, L, I, S and M in this exact succession in it. China for example has already done this by just renaming capitalism to "communism".
## Example Of Abuse No. 2: How Feminists Will Cage All Men
Let's take a look at how [feminists](feminism.md) can achieve caging all men through shortcut thinking and slowly shifting the meaning of the term *sexual abuse*.
In 1990 the definition of sexual abuse against a [woman](woman.md) might have been something like "PHYSICAL sexual actions against her will, for example touching her genitals, breasts, kissing her and so on". Here feminists start a campaign and force everyone to state they're against sexual abuse, and indeed, most people do because indeed it's not good to physically sexually bully someone, there is little reason for anyone to disagree. Here they establish a shortcut "sexual abuse = bad", which at this stage is not harmful yet. However they slowly start changing the definition of *sexual abuse*.
By 2000 the new definition of sexual abuse may additionally also include VERBAL actions, such as asking a girl about her sexual life. Here we'll already starting to limit [free speech](free_speech.md) but most people didn't notice the subtle change in the definition of sexual abuse, they just remember they're against sexual abuse.
By 2010 the definition of sexual abuse will also include ANY PHYSICAL action such as any touching at all -- if you touch a woman's hand against her will, you're committing sexual abuse. But most people still only remember they're against sexual abuse, whatever it means -- additionally the few people that notice and criticize the changes in definition start to be bullied for supporting sexual abuse or are told to shut up and not make big deal of a small change in definitions. The changes [happen slowly](slowly_boiling_the_frog.md) so that at no point people notice a sudden jump which they could protest -- individuals may protest on occasion but one man can do nothing and there will happen no sudden change that would synchronize a mass protest.
By 2020 sexual abuse will include practically any action towards a woman which the woman dislikes in any way, such as making eye contact, talking, smiling, holding door open for her, sending her a friend request on social media sites and so on. Now men are bullied, they're scared of just meeting a woman and talking to her -- if the woman decides it's sexual abuse, it is. But if you ask anyone "Are you against sexual abuse?" of course he has to answer "yes" -- answering "no" is absurd because everyone is against sexual abuse, no matter that definition now is completely different from the original definition, it's just the power of words that can keep people approve of and support insanity.
Soon enough it will be observed that practically all men are sexual abusers because sexual abuse now means just interacting with women and basically all men want to or even just have to interact with women in some way. Now feminists may say: since [gender studies](gender_studies.md) proved all men are sexually dangerous, it is "logical" that we have to cage all men, it would be insane to let predators run free, right? And just like that we arrive at our dystopia.
If you think they can't do it, [you are wrong](yes_they_can.md).

# Universal Basic Income
Universal basic income (UBI) is the idea that all people should get regular pay from the state without any conditions, i.e. even if they don't work, even if they are rich, criminals etc. It is a great idea and **[we](lrs.md) fully support it** as the first step towards the [ideal society](less_retarded_society.md) in which people don't have to work. As [automation](automation.md) takes away more and more jobs, it is being discussed more and experiments with UBI are being conducted, even though capitalist idiots rather try to invent more and more [bullshit jobs](bullshit_job.md) to keep people enslaved.

UBI that itself covers all basic needs is called full, otherwise it is called partial. UBI subscribes to the idea that **the goal of progress is to eliminate the need for work**, which is correct -- we should leave all work to machines eventually, that's why we started civilization. This doesn't mean we can't work, just that we aren't obliged.
@ -15,6 +15,7 @@ Advantages of UBI:
- **People will seize to be slaves of capitalist employers** as it will no longer be mandatory to work somewhere. Nowadays people have to accept shitty working conditions because they have no other choice. They can't go elsewhere because it is the same everywhere or their conditions don't allow them to move, every employer abuses his employees as much as possible so people today can only choose their slave master but they can't choose not being slaves. **If people can actually leave, employers will have to offer good conditions to keep people working for them**. It may also lead to e.g. greater freedom from consumerism as people can e.g. decide to not use certain bad technology which they are nowadays forced to use by employers.
- **It will greatly suppress [bullshit jobs](bullshit_job.md)** and undesirable phenomena such as the [antivirus paradox](antivirus_paradox.md). People who stop doing bullshit jobs will be able to actually focus on useful things.
- **Suffering of many people will be lowered or eliminated**. Simple as that.
- **We will solve the issue of societal aging and prevent an otherwise likely [collapse](collapse.md) caused by it** -- increasing of average age of population due to advance of medicine along with decreasing fertility and willingness of people to have children is becoming a big, threatening issue; soon there will be too many old people incapable of working and too few young people to take care of everything. Establishing UBI will allow us to fully accept and utilize automation and eliminate all unnecessary work, making society be able to function with only a few people actually working. In this sense rejecting UBI is a nothing less than a societal threat.
- **We will actually save money and other resources** because the system will simplify a lot. Nowadays we have complex bureaucracy and commissions that judge who can get social welfare, who can get disability pensions etc. Huge amounts of money are wasted to just keep unnecessary jobs existing, e.g. people have to commute to their bullshit jobs, which implies cars and roads have to be maintained more, also workplaces have to be maintained, cleaned, maintain work safety, etcetc. If everyone just gets money to live, we can save on this bureaucracy, maintenance, commissions, on doctor examinations, caring about the homeless, maintaining hugely complex laws etc. If people become less stressed, mental health will also improve and we will save money on treatment of mentally ill people. Money may also be saved on organization of worker unions as they may become much less important etc.
- **Society will become more [ecological](ecology.md)** thanks to the elimination of bullshit and saving resources, as mentioned above.
- **People will become less stressed**, happier, will have security and as a result perhaps even become more "productive" (this has been confirmed by some experiments).
