Adapting modern communism to computer science | |
============================================= | |
There is a common misbelief that we're living in the computer-age. | |
Wrong! We are not living in the computer-age, but we're living in the | |
information-age. Computers are just suitable tools to master the | |
information we need to get clear sight at the world. | |
These are dark times. The proletariat has lost its class identity. | |
We're exposed to intellectual isolation - better known as "filter | |
bubble". This inevitably leads to dumb thoughts. Antisocial networks | |
(such as Facebook) numb our senses. The enemy is getting idolized. In | |
order to fight these dangers, a proper use of our computer-devices is | |
vital! | |
Sadly, the majority of us is unable to do so. They gave in. They no | |
longer try to master these devices. Instead they follow capitalists who | |
contruct lifestyles in times we need tools. Some even make information | |
handling more complicated by adding complexity layers to technologies we | |
all depend on. These layers always exist at a cost of performance. That | |
results into the necessity of more powerful machines. Once these | |
machines are constructed, one virulent sentence will come into action: | |
"Don't worry about RAM that much. You Have plenty of it, nowadays." | |
This poisonous sentence is actually teached in universities. And it will | |
soon result into the necessity of even more powerful machines and | |
therefore cause a dependency on the companies. A vicious circle, we have | |
to break. | |
We need to sharpen our blades: In order to recover our sovereignty, we | |
need to remove complexity. We need to strive for minimalism. Frugality | |
has to become our ultimate virtue. Keeping things hackable. If one thing | |
is not: refuse using it! | |
Education has to take place. Further, a culture has to be populated! |
