RE: The power of knowledge is unknown to most people, including you, perhaps.
Yeah you have nailed it, pretty much what Richard had to say as well, I still find it hard to have a proper communication with most people, everyone sees things differently and has different lenses in the first place, most people have no conscious knowledge of them, how skewed their sights are.
I do agree that obedience is a problem, but in the current system only trolling it whenever possible is a option, if you stand up and make your point, other people mostly either don't get it or get herded into some mainstream view or whatever excuse, or the usual "those things are true, but that's not how it works" and all of them are right.
I'm still struggling with understanding the general concepts I suppose.
Still the usual solution is less of the bad and more of the good, what causes the problem, what is required that it is solved, those questions are left to knowledge, the more you know the better you understand it, the better you can act.
For some reason, life is funny that way
always something around the corner, probably nothing,
unless you aren't expecting anything, then surprise :)
I try to write from the perspective of a neutral observer.
I like to see only the truth, and not apply judgement or my own desires to it.
Reality is.
Yet there must be clear, solid reasons to desire freedom to persist.
Not just a fleeting spark of freedom, such as they do with open source software- where you get to see the source, but cannot modify it truly, but rather, a free software world where the source is truly open, modifiable, and not only that, but you cannot take information from the source, but not share it.
A person who uses previous good ideas to make a better idea should share the better idea. To keep it secret is a terrible thing, considering how dangerous technology can be.
Be it spying upon all whom exist, or being able to instantly exterminate entire cities, there are people with far too much power, and other people with very little power.
Thus there must be a moment of equalization.
