Last point: Finding a tiny tiny sliver of freedom through software or anything else in hell won’t change the fact that you live a life in quiet desperation. Your life is shit regardless.

The vast majority of you live in quiet desperation due to poverty or whatever.

Perhaps, earn millions of dollars instead of chasing tiny software improvements in your personal computers. Perhaps, millions of dollars improve your life a little bit?

Even with 100 million dollars, your life won’t be really good. Sorry, boys. You can’t have good things in hell.

I will again not even reply to the majority of what you said because it is (as with your other replies) completely irrelevant projection of your annoyances with life and fears of everyone else in the world being utterly amoral and incompetent onto me.

The only point I was trying to get through to you this entire time is that there are actually many people who would love to work to build a better world in many of the ways that you seem to care about in practice, but your insistence that you know it all, they know nothing, and that no good can come (and thus cooperation is pointless) unless they capitulate completely to your world view becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy as you drive potential collaborators away.

In specific, now that you have showed your exact qualm, I am saying that regardless of how someone derives their moral framework (even if it is objectively flawed) to not cooperate with them when they do agree with you in practice is effectively not acting for something you believe in just because you don’t like them. This is petty and in my opinion hypocrytical—if you believe in something you should be working to achieve it.

Despite your determined disdain for the free software advocates, you have fallen into exactly the same trap they often do: sacrificing efficacy at promoting what they believe in for more complete self-justification.

To conclude I give my condolences for having such a dark world view—the core of your belief seems to be that nothing will ever be improved. It is sad to see how this impacts how you interact with others. I will take it as warning to never become like that. Clearly some hope and belief in goodness is necessary for sustaining useful action.

I hope you get feeling better and can spend some time with someone or something that gives you at least some hope.

I don’t care. I’m not here to advocate anything. I’m just here to rant and talk shit.

Things can be improved in theory, but I’m also not naive enough to think that anything less than being a hard-core content creator who may or may not have a separate job or a separate business is going to make a tiny dent in the world.

Even if I go above and beyond, I “know” I can maybe make a tiny dent.

I have things to do now. I have to earn money, or become homeless. I am not ready to be a hardcore advocate. I don’t know whether I want to go hardcore, so I accept the fact that I’m not going to change anything by myself or with others anytime soon.

If I cared about any change, I wouldn’t be here.

If you want change in the world, change yourself, and do it yourself. Don’t expect me to go above and beyond for people I don’t care about. I hate people anyway.

The gist is 99% of people on earth, including FOSS advocates or anyone you can imagine, are bad people. Don’t expect me to go above and beyond by spending hours on explaining why they are bad people. You are bad boys. I hate you. I hate you. Because you are bad boys, you can’t get good things.

Reality: Because you are bad boys who constantly drag each other down, you will not get good things. Even if you get good things “temporarily”, they will be taken away from you by others very soon. After you die, your memory will be wiped, and you will be inserted into another body on earth over and over and over and over and over and over until you somehow figure out how to escape this reincarnation cycle. Perhaps, your next few reincarnations “could” be pigs and cows that are eaten by humans and other animals. Lots of FOSS advocates may eat animal flesh, not considering the fact that these pigs they ate were perhaps their dead parents. Buddhism claims to teach you how to escape reincarnation cycle, but I don’t know whether it is legit. This is what it means to be in hell. When you die, you don’t just ceast to exist. What awaits after death is worse than becoming nothing. It’s endless cycles of torture and execution. All of this exists because, at some point in the past, some beings rebelled against God and tried to change right and wrong on whims and justify all sorts of violence. That’s why God had to quarantine bad boys on earth and perhaps other hellish realms. Hell is a prison for bad boys. Until you improve, you won’t escape the prison. Hell is other people on earth.

For now, I don’t care whether you stay in hell or try to escape it. I don’t care. You want to stay in hell? Fine. Do that. Most people will remain stuck in hell for a very long time. Thousand years? Million years? Billion years? Trillion years? Forever? Who knows? I don’t know when I will escape hell. You are in a big trouble.
