Please. Money lies. We all know it. People with money are deferred to, emotionally coddled, and ALWAYS given the benefit of the doubt. It is literally the foundation of Western culture. Those who have always had it live in a very delusional world that has always lied to them about their abilities. That's how we end up with a " very stable genius" as the "leader" of the western world.
Regulation is only to stop harm. Who does this hurt ? I don't think capturing criminals counts as harm. It's not trust that's needed, what's not to trust ?
What they hate is losing power. They want power that they can only get by using the power inside others. Hate is just the energy to justify oppressing and using other minds for things theirs can't do. Also known as capitalism. What they hate is not owning and controlling their own little world.
That is the untalented who are interested in the rewards of success moving to gain what is possible to get from talent. They have none, so they have to see it manifested and then they capture it for their benefit. They have no other access to the good stuff. All industries, human endevors, work this way. All power structures, all groups.
There is no substitute for caring, and people consistently, dramatically underestimate the difference in thought that happens in people who care and people who don't. Anytime I'm asked why someone should listen to me and not someone else I tell them "because I care". It is really all it takes to separate from the incompetent, so few understand what caring does.
All good teams revolve around stars. Talented brains can create more value that two hands can do, and the organization exist to help them win. Nothing new.
Yeah, because at a certain level it's not monopolizing knowledge, it's just not letting people without ability act as though their lack of ability is inconsequential and their agendas matter. In surgery they don't have lack of ability or agendas.
Blaming the victims.Call it what it is what it has all way been, people with advantages taking advantage of people and then blaming them for being them. Nothing new.
Yeah, that's the real problem. The idea that encryption is only safe for users if the site is registered with " authority(ies) " is one of the biggest delusions going right now. Politics of fear.
Self-harm in the sense that is causes you pain, but it is really just not doing what others want even though you know that they will hurt you. It is intellectually dishonest to to portray people not doing something that they don't REALLY want to do as an issue with their brains and leave out the brains causing the harm. Not self-harm, just not protecting the self.
Have you never seen a shitty movie ? A good advertisement ? Not as much difference as you might think. This society is built upon rewarding frauds. Homeless people with engaging stories are only punished for being poor, not for fraud.
The arrogance that goes into thinking one can decide what is the best use of a couple of dollars to ease someone else's pain is mind boggling. People in this society have a huge problem with believing their crappy little jobs are proof of their superior intellects.
Yes, there is no such thing as laziness. It's a bizarre concept in that the closest thing that exists to the meaning of the word is actual belief in the delusion that it exists. Laziness is a thing like darkness is a thing, ask most if darkness exists and they will say of course it does, we can see it.
Mender isn't a "rescue" program, it's a solid tool for firmware distributors to be able to update devices and avoid this problem. Article is marketing material, but good advice.
We have different ideas what a meritocracy is. You believe any examples ( as you've given) are evidence of a meritocracy. That's not true. That's like saying it's a democracy if we elect a class leader. We have different standards.
