the point is, we should see the picture, and get society to adopt, in a meaningful impactful way, what we nerd want. e.g. regarding privacy, or computer language design, tools, or no ads, no spam, etc.

tech geeking don't work. Open source fanaticism don't work. Denying linux problems don't work.

you want to see things with regards to how, average people, e.g. those who mob McDonald toilets, will feel a change.

for me. when i write some technical stuff on comp lang design, then fringes says, what about x? have you tried y? boox a84682 says b56633 so u should.

when i write linux command line tutorial, then you get: u should compiz stumpvm wayland gentoo.

when criticizing linux, the open source fsf heads: oh, that's not linux. u shoudl ed73c kernal git.

same with mastodon idiots we see all day, thinking that this is the one going places.

you see, these tech geekers are not able to see the big picture of society. They just know tech geeking. These fringes fucks, exist since 1990s and earlier. We see their messages and what they want, all day, and everyday. But after 3 decades, the web and society got worse.

you see, the brave guys are trying to replace the web ad system by a browser that completely remove all ads with a creator reward crypocurrency system.

but the fringes say, oh, but ublockorigin and bitcoin and blockchain 42914coin therefore no u.

so that, brave never takes off. We just got this fringe fucks that's 0.0001% of society with their fringe all day, for the next thousand years.

in my field, i face the same problem the brave guys are. That is, i write tutorial for elite hackers eg #haskell #lisp, #emacs and open source fsf kinda fringes. Then, these fringes, often kept bugging/bitching/pushing for more fringe, so that whatever u do remain fringe.

@OVDB where?

many sites that pops up a blocker to prevent you from reading, u can still do by turning off javascript. Use a browser with js off. When a site does that, you copy the url and view it there.

if truth turns out harmful, it is still better to spread it than hide it, because, long term, hiding truth is more harmful. Hiding truth gives you temp comfort.

Google, could easily, enforce hiring 50% women. But, if they do, the company would fail over night. They knew it. The hard sciences graduate are only ~20% female. The solution, is to get girls stop following @KimKardashian and @Cosmopolitan and study math.

i myself believe none of it. I think it's superstition nonsense. But, am with Camille Paglia, that i respect religion and think we should study it, because, it held humanity, for whatever reasons. And, to me, today's sjw situation in white nations, is a total collapse of that structure.

the current #emacs maintainer John Wiegley, is heavily into Baha'i. you can see him posting on reddit about it. And the shen lisp http://www.shenlanguage.org creator Mark Tarver, is also a devout buddhist (am not sure what branch). I think he's actually a certified monk.

i didn't know what Thai Forrest was. Looked up wikip. Am not sure about Dhamma. Note that, it is not scientific thing. Along with reincarnation, it's superstition, as astrology and god and jesus. But, it is a belief system. So, to me, it's up to what you believe.
