+## Further Philosophy
+
+Here are a few bullet points giving further ideas about what LRS is about, also serving as advice for creating such technology:
+
+- [Do one thing well](unix_philosophy.md).
+- [Keep it simple](kiss.md), no [bullshit](bullshit.md). Less is more, worse is better, small is beautiful. Don't overengineer.
+- Users are programmers. This means users can fiddle with their programs; instead of going to request a feature from the developer, the user can many times implement it himself thanks to simple design of the program, EVEN if the user is not an actual programmer (anyone can ctrl+F keywords and rewrite values in source code).
+- Bug reports are [patches](patch.md).
+- Customization is [forking](fork.md). A software tool is customized by applying personally selected patches and making personal changes to the source code (configuration is also part of source code) -- this creates a personal fork of the tool.
+- Forking is good.
+- Users compile their programs. Compilation is trivial and fast.
+- Programs are distributed in source form.
+- Be selfless, program's goal is only to help its user.
+- Programs are efficient.
+- No one owns programs, no one owns data, no one owns art, no one owns information. Everything is [free](free.md), legally AND [in any other way](de_facto.md).
+- Use universal interfaces (text), be compatible.
+- Code is reusable.
+- [Hacking](hacking.md) is good. Allow hacking, allow breaking and raping of your program in ways you didn't intend.
+- Be [portable](portability.md), respect weaker platforms and platforms of other types. 
+- Programs are technology (NOT brands, weapons, political grounds, social networks, work opportunities, property, platforms, ...).
+- [Work](work.md) is [shit](shit.md), laziness is [good](good.md).
+- [Secrets](secret.md) are bad.
+- Low level is good, use only minimum necessary [abstraction](abstraction.md).
+- ...

 ## Why
 
 LRS exists for a number of reasons, one of the main ones is that we simply need better technology -- not better as in "having more features" but better in terms of design, purpose and ethics. Technology has to make us more free, not enslave us. Technology has to be a tool that serves us, not a device for our abuse. We believe [mainstream](capitalist_software.md) technology poses a serious, even existential threat to our civilization. We don't think we can prevent [collapse](collapse.md) or a dystopian scenario on our own, or even if these can be prevented at all, but we can help nudge the technology in a better direction, we can inspire others and perhaps make the future a little brighter, even if it's destined to be dark. Even if future seems hopeless, what better can we do than try our best to make it not so?
