>>18793That's not a good way to run a society.
>>18794The guess was wrong; I don't use Github; this poster was right:
>>18833>>18833I understand my political opinions may be silly, idealistic, incompatible, or unrealistic. Since my political opinions don't matter, lacking political power, I needn't refine them like I refine my thoughts on computing, language, and other more interesting topics. My vocabulary has grown since then, but there's naught wrong with the word "superfluous".
>You never knew how bad you were, and didn't care to understand why.Use the present tense, since I still don't.
>You're not fooling anyone here with your 'modest' beliefs.I don't know what passes for a modest belief here.
>I'm surprised you haven't run off to some Peter Thiel backed venture at this point; it'd suit you more.I loathe startups and whatnot. I loathe money in general, since it allows men to gain without work; people have mocked the idea of a society abandoning money only to create "labour tokens", but those aren't money. What I know I hate is growing up in a society that seeks to drag the exceptional down to the average, rather than support them, and my beliefs stem from this basic thought; the smart shouldn't be commanded by the stupid; the strong shouldn't be commanded by the crippled; we can envision exceptions, sure, but exceptions should never be the rule.
I suppose I shouldn't continue to derail this thread; I'd be delighted for thoughts on my work, but this isn't the thread for it, so oh well.
