# Frequently Asked Questions

*Not to be confused with fuck or frequently questioned answers.*

Now degenerated into a kind of schizophrenic AMA.

{ answers by ~drummyfish }

### I just came here and WTF is all this shit lmao?

See tl;dr.

### Is this a joke? Are you trolling?

No. Jokes are here. The tone of the wiki is informal, cynical, relaxed and full of jokes and irony, but the topics and the goal are completely serious.

### What the fuck?

See WTF.

### How is this site allowed to exist?

This is a popular question. The basic trick is in not hosting it on Facebook, but this requires at least an IQ of 93.5. On top of that extremely advanced state of the bleeding edge techniques are used, such as not hosting it on fandom, not using any dynamic content, not using PHP, not using MediaWiki, not using nodejs, not using tranny software that trannies have control over, not using docker, not using Python, not using Rust, not using any frameworks, not using Wordpress, not using Cuckflare, not using captchas, not using encryption and furthermore not using many other things. This means the site just exists without depending, it exists like air exists around you, so it cannot be DDOSsed because it doesn't compute anything, it cannot be spammed because it has no comment section, it cannot go bankrupt because it doesn't have any employees and doesn't cost anything, it cannot be outcompeted because it doesn't compete, the author cannot be bullied because he ignores everyone (including police, judges and so on), so the site just IS. Retards can't comprehend this, but the main trick is in simply not using anything and ignoring everything.

### I hate u and wanna kill u.

Thank you, please if you really kill me IRL, please kill me fast if you can, I would appreciate to die fast probably, but it's fine if not, just letting you know, but maybe I deserve to die slow. Love you anyway, thank you <3

### Is there RSS feed?

I dunno, I don't do anything like that now, remember this isn't a blog, tho you can probably get RSS by going to this wiki's git repo and getting the commit feed.

### How does LRS differ from suckless, KISS, free software and similar types of software?

These sets will typically largely overlap and LRS is at times just a slightly different approach or angle of viewing the world, but in short LRS is eclectic, we cherry-pick the best of what's already out there, then add something slightly original on top to create a something greater in scope than let's say suckless (we ultimately focus on the big picture of whole society, not just the tools and "getting the job done"). I have invented LRS as my own take on suckless software and then modified it a bit and expanded its scope to encompass not just technology but the whole society -- as I cannot speak on behalf of the whole suckless community (and sometimes disagree with them a lot), I have created my own "fork" and simply set my own definitions without worrying about misinterpreting, misquoting or contradicting someone else. LRS advocates very similar technology to that advocated by suckless, but it furthermore has its specific ideas and areas of focus. The main point is that **LRS is derived from an unconditional love of all life** rather than some shallow idea such as "productivity". In practice this leads to such things as a high stress put on public domain and legal safety, altruism, selflessness, anti-capitalism, accepting games as desirable type of software, **NOT subscribing to the productivity cult, rejecting security, privacy, cryptocurrencies etc.** While suckless is apolitical and its scope is mostly limited to software and its use for "getting job done", LRS speaks not just about technology but about the whole society -- there are two main parts of LRS: less retarded software and less retarded society.

One way to see LRS is as a philosophy that takes only the good out of existing philosophies/movements/ideologies/etc. and adds them to a single unique idealist mix, without including cancer, bullshit, errors, propaganda and other negative phenomena plaguing basically all existing philosophies/movements/ideologies/etc.

### Is your proclamation of "absolute unconditional love for everyone" just a disclaimer to protect you against lawsuits?

No, it's a 100% sincere declaration. Also I hate disclaimers and out of principle don't use them even where I "should".

### Why this obsession with extreme simplicity? Is it because you're too stupid to understand complex stuff?

(May be best to just read articles on minimalism, KISS, freedom etc.)

On the contrary, LRS is not stupid enough to embrace complexity. I used to be the mainstream, complexity embracing programmer. I am in no way saying I'm a genius but I've put a lot of energy into studying computer science full time for many years so I believe I can say I have some understanding of the "complex" stuff. I speak from own experience and also on behalf of others who shared their experience with me that the appreciation of simplicity and realization of its necessity comes after many years of dealing with the complex and deep insight into the field and into the complex connections of that field to society.

You may ask: well then but why it's just you and a few weirdos who see this, why don't most good programmers share your opinions? Because they need to make living or because they simply WANT to make a lot of money and so they do what the system wants them to do. Education in technology (and generally just being exposed to corporate propaganda since birth) is kind of a trap: it teaches you to embrace complexity and when you realize it's not a good thing, it is too late, you already need to pay your student loan, your rent, your mortgage, and the only thing they want you to do is to keep this complexity cult rolling. So people just do what they need to do and many of them just psychologically make themselves believe something they subconsciously know isn't right because that makes their everyday life easier to live. "Everyone does it so it can't be bad, better not even bother thinking about it too much". It's difficult doing something every day that you think is wrong, so you make yourself believe it's right.

It's not that we can't understand the complex. It is that the simpler things we deal with, the more powerful things we can create out of them as the overhead of the accumulated complexity isn't burdening us so much.

Simplicity is crucial not only for the quality of technology, i.e. for example its safety and efficiency, but also for its freedom. The more complex technology becomes, the fewer people can control it. If technology is to serve all people, it has to be simple enough so that as many people as possible can understand it, maintain it, fix it, customize it, improve it. It's not just about being able to understand a complex program, it's also about how much time and energy it takes because time is a price not everyone can afford, even if they have the knowledge of programming. Even if you yourself cannot program, if you are using a simple program and it breaks, you can easily find someone with a basic knowledge of programming who can fix it, unlike with a very complex program whose fix will require a corporation.

Going for the simple technology doesn't necessarily have to mean we have to give up the "nice things" such as computer games or 3D graphics. Many things, such as responsiveness and customizability of programs, would improve. Even if the results won't be so shiny, we can recreate much of what we are used to in a much simpler way. You may now ask: why don't companies do things simply if they can? Because complexity benefits them in creating de facto monopolies, as mentioned above, by reducing the number of people who can tinker with their creations. And also because capitalism pushes towards making things quickly rather than well -- and yes, even non commercial "FOSS" programs are pushed towards this, they still compete and imitate the commercial programs. Already now you can see how technology and society are intertwined in complex ways that all need to be understood before one comes to realize the necessity of simplicity.

### How would your ideal society work? Isn't it utopia?

See the article on less retarded society, it contains a detailed FAQ especially on that.

### So is there a whole community here or what? Do you have forums or anything?

To start off let's first make it clear that LRS, being an anarchist philosophy, avoids establishing a centralized "governed" community sporting things such as "platforms", senior members, chains of trust, moderators, bureaucracy, codified rules (aka laws) etc., i.e. there is no aim to set up forums, non-profits or anything similar. Although LRS might sometimes kind of support such communities, when established by third parties, as a temporary lesser evil, we must know it's never ideal and that essentially every nice thing that embraced a big "central hub"/authority turned to shit once it grew and turned very popular -- corruption always emerges and eventually takes over (see Wikipedia, GNU/FSF, Linux etc.). So we rather aim for a community of decentralized, loosely associated individuals and small entities with a mostly overlapping sets of values rather than any kind of "main" organization. And so rather think in these terms: many people with their own websites referring and linking to each other, sharing ideas over email etc.

At the moment this wiki/movement/ideology/etc. is basically me (drummyfish) -- and maybe by its very definition it will always stay this way -- however then there are a few people around who agree more or less with me and who try to do similar stuff. I am very glad I've seen people inspired and actually do something thanks to reading my stuff, it means the world to me. There are such who like this to various degree and contact me more of less often, many just write one email, suggest something, thank me, share something nice or bad, sometimes suggest I kill myself, usual stuff -- it's really hard to estimate numbers but there is a number of closer followers and probably yet a larger count of silent lurkers (given that only 1 in relatively many readers will actually write me an email).

I don't have any web analytics set up, I could probably dig up at least number of site downloads or something but I don't even look at that, I don't want to aim for popularity. It's probably even better if this stays in the underground anyway.

A forum, mailing list or something would possibly be nice, so far I've only experimented with more or less private text boards, game servers and stuff like that for closer friends, no one made anything bigger yet and I would be hesitant to call it an "official" LRS forum anyway, exactly to prevent growing into some kind of corrupt "democratic internet community" of which there are too many now. I am also absolute shit at running any "community" (I tried several times, always failed) and also pretty anxious about the idea of collaborating with someone, even officially associate with other sites etc. It's not just my social anxiety but also the fear of social pressure that collaboration or affiliation might bring, which could bias what I write. So if you'd like to make a LRS-focused forum (or anything similar), it would be best if you just make it your own thing -- of course I'll be very glad if you refer to my stuff etc., I just won't be able to keep up with another project, play an admin or something, I will only be able to be a regular user of that forum.

### Do you have a discord?

Do I look like a fucking degenerated zoomer?

### I am a furry transsexual gay zoomer and/or capitalist etc., do you hate me?

NO, I do not hate you at all! In fact most of my best online friends normally fall into some of the listed categories, don't let the propaganda convince you we can't be friends. We can be good friends despite liking or being something the other one dislikes, it only means that we are different, but why should we be enemies? Even if we don't end up being besties I will never hate you personally, my life philosophy is based on loving everyone unconditionally, I will possibly only hate and criticize things you do or want to do or trends you follow, but I will never want to have anyone executed or put in prison or punished in any way, it's literally us having different opinions on something and that's that.

There is one thing to add: from my experience I have hard time making friends with capitalists -- it's not that I wouldn't want to, I usually try, but I find our basic life values just end up being completely contradictory and hence we cannot find a topic to discuss without constantly disagreeing and feeling tension all the time, so just be aware of this, but feel free to talk to me anytime if you really want to, I'll be glad to hear from you.

### Why the angry and aggressive tone, can't you write in a nicer way, especially when you advocate love etc.?

More than once I've been told that someone was initially afraid to talk to me because I write in this "aggressive/angry" way. I am sorry, this way of writing has its reasons that I established here and it's what works for me, I really don't intend to stress you out -- firstly this is how I internally think because yes, I am very frustrated, and **I want this wiki to capture my internal thoughts in a very unfiltered way** (note that having bad thoughts doesn't mean one has to act on them), also I find this way flows the best for me and allows me to communicate what I feel and think the best, and it also gives this wiki kind of its own "personality" and prevents it from taking on a super serious tone -- informality and fun are quite important for a healthy view of the world. I am really tired of all the overly correct and polite articles on the Internet (I have tried to write in different ways but it always stands in the way). Sometimes I get mood swings and regret writing something, other times I bash myself for being too soft -- but I don't want to delete stuff too much, this will all be reflected on the wiki. Underneath all this still lies the important message of **love and peace**. I guess I also want to show that to be truly loving you don't have to change your personality or censor your thoughts. In normal conversations I try as much as possible to be nice, I actually almost never get aggressive towards others, if I get very stressed I usually just leave or in more extreme cases target hate towards myself, but I really try to not hurt anyone (people also told me they were quite surprised that I was kind of "nice" when they actually talked to me). I actually have a lot of trouble in real life for not defending myself, people often abuse it and I let them, I don't fight back, I don't believe in revenge or violence and in addition I have social anxiety. Please don't be afraid to contact me <3

### Why the name "less retarded"? If you say you're serious about this, why not a more serious name?

I don't know, this is not so easy to answer because I came up with the name back when the project was smaller in scope and I didn't think about a name too hard: this name was playful, catchy, politically incorrect (keeping SJWs away) and had a kind of reference to *suckless*, potentially attracting attention of suckless fans. It also has the nice property of being unique, with low probability of name collision with some other existing project, as not many people will want to have the word "retarded" in the name. Overall the name captures the spirit of the philosophy and is very general, allowing it to be applied to new areas without being limited to certain means etc.

Now that the project has evolved a bit the name actually seems to have been a great choice and I'm pretty happy about it, not just for the above mentioned reasons but also because it is NOT some generic boring name that politicians, PR people and other tryhard populists would come up with. In a way it's trying to stimulate thought and make you think (if only by making you ask WHY anyone would choose such a name). Yes, in a way it's a small protest and showing we stay away from the rotten mainstream, but it's definitely NOT an attempt at catching attention at any cost or trying to look like cool rebels -- such mentality goes against our basic principles. Perhaps the greatest reason for the name is to serve as a test -- truth should prevail no matter what name it is given and we try to test and prove this, or rather maybe prevent succeeding for wrong reasons -- we are not interested in success (which is what mere politicians do); if our ideas are to become accepted, they have to be accepted for the right reasons. And if you refuse to accept truth because you don't like its name, you are retarded and by own ignorance doom yourself to live in a shit society with shit technology.

### Who writes this wiki? Can I contribute?

You can only contribute to this wiki if you're a straight white male. Just kidding, you can't contribute even if you're a straight white male :)

At the moment it's just me, drummyfish. This started as a collaborative wiki name *based wiki* but after some disagreements I forked it (everything was practically written by me at that point) and made it my own wiki where I don't have to make any compromises or respect anyone else's opinions. I'm not opposed to the idea of collaboration in some situations but I bet we disagree on something in which case I probably don't want to search for a compromise. I also resist allowing contributions because with multiple authors the chance of legal complications grows, even if the work is under a free license or waiver (refer to e.g. the situation where some Linux developers were threatening to withdraw their code contribution license). But you can totally fork this wiki, it's public domain.

If you want to contribute to the cause, just create your own website, spread the ideas you liked here -- you may or may not refer to LRS, everything's up to you. Start creating software with LRS philosophy if you can -- together we can help evolve and spread our ideas in a decentralized way, without me or anyone else being an authority, a potential censor. That's the best way forward I think.

### What do you use as your ASCII art editor?

Vim.

### Are you making any money off of this websites and/or your projects? How are you financing this? Are you collecting and selling my precious cookies? Is it from donations? How much do you make on them? Why are you doing this if not for money?

This is NOT and NEVER WILL be even partially a commercial project, there will NEVER be a single ad or sponsor or even anything inserted as a favor to someone, that would go completely against my fundamental beliefs and the message carried by this work, all my projects are selfless and they are NOT aimed at making money at all OR extracting any other kind of capital or benefit purely for myself (such as self promotion etc.): things I make are the purpose of my life, not fastfood hamburgers, they must remain absolutely pure and must not in a slightest become affected by any financial interests, plus I also hate money, business, trade and capitalism in general. I make all of this in my spare time and apart from some tiny fees (for a domain etc.), which I minimize and can absolutely manage on my own, I have no other expenses than keeping myself alive, cost of which I also try to minimize.

Of course I'm NOT collecting your data lol.

Now yes, I have to say that as I am writing this I currently DO have the donation option available on my personal website, but I really try my best to not let this affect what I do in any way, it's just me accepting money from people who want to give them to me. Let me add this:

- Donations are not a way to finance my projects or reward me for what I do (and so direct me in what I am doing), my projects or my life are not directed by donations or dependent on donations, they are a way to share money (i.e. food and other resources) with me for the people who can afford it and want to do it.
- I AM actually sometimes unsure about if it's a good thing for me to do, maybe I'll stop accepting donations in the future. In the past I experimented with taking donations just out of curiosity, I wanted to see if/how much I could make that way, and now (when I have a more refined life philosophy) I decided to just keep the option up for now, it IS useful to me as my income is quite low and I am trying to save up something and buy things that will make me as independent as possible, BUT I am always keeping in mind that I must NEVER aim to become dependent on donations or aim to increase them, I'd rather quit than continue in a commercial way (though I can't see how I could even ever become unable to continue my projects due to financial trouble). I also hate that there only exist unethical ways of taking donations such as paypal or cryptocurrencies, it's another reason why I'm thinking of canceling the donations.
- For the above reasons I don't encourage donations too much, I don't go around asking for them, I just left a small info on the bottom of my website, I really don't want to get big sponsors and become a slave to money, it is actually something I rather fear. Whenever I got a bigger donation I've always had a bit of mixed feelings: I felt very grateful but also a kind of burden of responsibility to keep delivering to the people. I do want to be delivering but the pressure I feel (even if the donor says there is no pressure) is something I find hard to deal with (part of my personality is a very elevated sensitivity to the stress of responsibility).
- I don't make any significant money this way, it's more like an occasional tip from good people who want to share with me. Some people have been very generous and have sent me very significant amounts of money, and I want to leave my most sincere gratitude to them -- the money allowed me for example to occasionally buy a new cool device to which I port my games, and I am extremely glad for it, but it's not a stable income, it's nowhere near a fraction of a livable minimum, and I like it that way because of the above reasons.
- I make it clear that donations don't buy anything from me, money will not affect what I do at all, it's purely for people who want to make me happier. I also clearly state that people should only donate if they can really afford it, I never want to take anything that someone would miss.
- My justification for accepting donations is this: I think those who have more should share with those who have less (and I try to practice this as well, I give money to the homeless for example), and so I will not refuse to take something I will find useful if someone gives it to me because he won't be missing it too much, it's the same as if someone leaves something by the trash because he doesn't need it and I take it because to me it's useful. This is what I sincerely believe as part of my life philosophy and I try to make extra sure it's not just an excuse I came up with to grab some money, I really do think about this a lot and should it threaten the quality of what I create, I will stop immediately. I do hate money but it's sadly how sharing works under our dystopia: if someone wants to share food with me, he does it by sending money over the Internet. So the conflict I feel about donations is actually more in using the harmful monetary and technological system (and so possibly supporting it) rather than taking something that someone is giving to me. I honestly don't know if I should continue accepting donations or not, it is possible I am doing something that's slightly wrong out of my weakness, please don't assume everything I do is correct, but I can promise I will try to do as little harm I can practically manage.

### Why is it called a wiki when it's written just by one guy? Is it to deceive people into thinking there's a whole movement rather than just one weirdo?

Yes.

No, of course not you dumbo. There is no intent of deception, this project started as a collaborative wiki with multiple contributors, named *Based Wiki*, however I (drummyfish) forked my contributions (most of the original Wiki) into my own Wiki and renamed it to *Less Retarded Wiki* because I didn't like the direction of the original wiki. At that point I was still allowing and looking for more contributors, but somehow none of the original people came to contribute and meanwhile I've expanded my LRS Wiki to the point at which I decided it's simply a snapshot of my own views and so I decided to keep it my own project and kept the name that I established, the *LRS Wiki*. Even though at the moment it's missing the main feature of a wiki, i.e. collaboration of multiple people, it is still a project that most people would likely call a "wiki" naturally (even if only a personal one, also called a *monoproject*) due to having all the other features of wikis (separate, constantly changing articles linked via hypertext, non-linear structure etc.) and simply looking like a wiki -- nowadays there are many wikis that are mostly written by a single man (see e.g. small fandom wikis) and people still call them wikis because culturally the term has simply taken a wider meaning, people don't expect a wiki to absolutely necessarily be collaborative and so there is no deception. If you're still like "NONONONO I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THIS" then see this as a wiki that's collaboratively edited by many of my alternative personalities. Additionally I am still open to the idea to possibly allowing contributions one day (or maybe when I die people will simply take this and make it to a collaborative wiki or something), so I'm simply keeping this a wiki, the wiki is in a sense waiting for a larger community to come -- anyone may fork it at any time BTW. Finally the ideas I present here are not just mine but really do reflect existing movements/philosophies with significant numbers of supporters (suckless, free software, ...).

### Why did you make this wiki? What is its purpose?

There are many reasons, it serves multiple purposes which also change a bit over time -- the "net good" arising from the existence of this wiki seems to be quite higly positive, so it keeps existing and at least for now flourishes. Anyway here are some reasons for why this wiki exists:

- At the beginning this was mostly a silly fun and a way of communicating among a few people, though soon it became just my own project.
- It really tries to explore -- and also show -- how technology could be done well. By writing this wiki I invent new terms, categorize them, connect concepts together, find useful ideas buried in the history of technology. This wiki can become useful if there is a turnaround, e.g. after the collapse. It also tries to SHOW that many things can be done simply, many articles contain short code snippets that do very useful work in very few lines of code. Many project like libraries and games have been done just by myself and though they many not be perfect, just imagine if some real genius, of a small team of people, tried to do things the way I do them -- we would see miracles happen. Many articles link to cool minimalist programs and projects that demonstrate the principles.
- Hopefully it's going to be a useful resource for people who want to e.g. start programming in C, if only as a repository of code snippets for example. By this I hope to help bring more people to the world of good technology. It's also going to be a big book that's completely CC0, there is never enough of these.
- Similarly I hope to spark some critical thinking and non-mainstream midsets such as those of altruism, minimalism, nonviolence and selflessness. There are so few resources that do this, everything is overshadowed by the huge circlejerk avalanche of modern brainwashing of competitiveness, secrecy, self interest, basically just pure evil. I really feel that if I don't say certain things, no one else will.
- I hope to perhaps inspire others to make something similar, be it a wiki in similar style or any other kind of art, shared selflessly in the public domain, trying to lead some moral example etc.
- It's an experiment in creating what for now seems to be a unique kind of work, a highly uncensored "brain dump" of a social outcast which combines a serious encyclopedia, half serious shitposting, repository of various data, social comments and so on. It's also being published continuously, with TODOs and WIPs, errors and mistakes, there are no "stable versions", just a kind of "as is" stream of data, take whatever you will out of it.
- The wiki tries to document contemporary society, it may be useful for future historians.
- It helps me cope, vent my emotion.
- It immensely helps me explain my worldviews without wasting my time and having to talk to people too much. Before this wiki whenever someone asked me "why do you think X?" over email, I had to spend an hour formulating a reply, then I would send it, the guy would be like "hmm it's cool but I disagree" -- so that was an hour of my life lost. People kept asking me the same things over and over, I used to have the exact same hour long converstations with many people, so now I just write my reasonings here and point to my articles without having to suffer retarded arguments over and over. Really it made me much less suicidal.
- They said I can't write this stuff on their site and that I should go make my own site, so I did. They banned me so I made myself more free. Maybe also a nice example for others.
- I just love making it, it makes me relax like nothing else. I write this wiki in between making my software projects which I love too but which require a bit more effort. A few times in my life I wanted to perhaps be a teacher as I like education and explaining things but at the same time I CANNOT STAND FUCKING PEOPLE -- this wiki makes me able to do what I like without having to suffer what I hate.
- It satisfied my obsessive needs for making lists, cheatsheets and so on. Also helps me keep my notes, ideas etc.
- It makes me (and hopefully others) learn about and research quite obscure things, I have personally discovered so many new amazing things while writing this wiki. Browsing the Internet is sometimes not enough, writing about something is what makes you go deeper.
- I hope to contribute to the downfall of capitalism, though TBH I don't believe it can happen at this point.
- This also helped me find some cool online friends. If you go searching for people like you, you won't find them, but if you put your ideas publicly on the display, people with similar ideas will reach out to you themselves.
- It's a work I can read myself knowing I won't find things that make me more suicidal like the word "person" and stupid grammar mistakes such as using apostrophes for plurals, using "it's" instead of "its", sentences containing "the reason is because" or "just because ... doesn't mean" etc.
- I like wikis, I like editing the pages, but I hate wikis with other people on it.
- Probably other reasons I couldn't recall right now :-)
- ...

### Why is this rather not a blog?

Because blogs suck, they are based on the idea of content consumerism and subscribers following celebrities just like on youtube or facebook, blog posts are hasted, ugly and become obsolete in a week, this wiki is trying to create a reference work that can be polished and will last some time.

### Since it is public domain, can I take this wiki and do anything with it? Even something you don't like, like sell it or rewrite it in a different way?

Yes, you can do anything... well, anything that's not otherwise illegal like falsely claiming authorship (copyright) of the original text. This is not because I care about being credited, I don't (you DON'T have to give me any credit), but because I care about this wiki not being owned by anyone. You can however claim copyright to anything you add to the wiki if you fork it, as that's your original creation.

### Why not keep politics out of this Wiki and make it purely about technology?

Firstly technological progress is secondary to the primary type of progress in society: the social progress. The goal of our civilization is to provide good conditions for life -- this is social progress and mankind's main goal. Technological progress only serves to achieve this, so technological progress follows from the goals of social progress. So, to define technology we have to first know what it should help achieve in society. And for that we need to talk politics.

Secondly examining any existing subject in depth requires also understanding its context anyway. Politics and technology nowadays are very much intertwined and the politics of a society ultimately significantly affects what its technology looks like (capitalist SW, censorship, bloat, spyware, DRM, ...), what goals it serves (consumerism, productivity, control, war, peace, ...) and how it is developed (COCs, free software, ...), so studying technology ultimately requires understanding politics around it. I hate arguing about politics, sometimes it literally make me suicidal, but it is inevitable, we have to specify real-life goals clearly if we're to create good technology. Political goals guide us in making important design decisions about features, tradeoffs and other attributes of technology.

Thirdly society and computer programs are in many ways similar and we naturally see analogies between both these problems and the solutions.

Of course you can fork this wiki and try to remove politics from it, but I think it won't be possible to just keep the technology part alone so that it would still make sense, most things will be left without justification and explanation.

### What is the political direction of LRS then?

In three words basically anarcho pacifist communism, however the word culture may be more appropriate than "politics" here as we aim for removing traditional systems of government based on power and enforcing complex laws, there shall be no politicians in today's sense in our society. For more details see the article about LRS itself.

### Why do you blame everything on capitalism when most of the issues you talk about, like propaganda, surveillance, exploitation of the poor and general abuse of power, appeared also under practically any other systems we've seen in history?

This is a good point, we talk about capitalism simply because it is the system of today's world and an immediate threat that needs to be addressed, however we always try to stress that the root issue lies deeper: it is **competition** that we see as causing all major evil. Competition between people is what always caused the main issues of a society, no matter whether the system at the time was called capitalism, feudalism or pseudosocialism. While historically competition and conflict between people was mostly forced by the nature, nowadays we've conquered technology to a degree at which we could practically eliminate competition, however we choose to artificially preserve it via capitalism, the glorification of competition, and we see this as an extremely wrong direction, hence we put stress on opposing capitalism, i.e. artificial prolonging of competition.

### Why are you calling everything "capitalism" when clearly you can't generalize so much, capitalism needs mass production, things like free trade, corporatism, libertarianism etc. are different things than capitalism, no?

Nah, it's all essentially the same, as long as it's based on competition it's just a different stage of capitalism at best, all these things are based on the fundamentally flawed idea of letting humans compete -- this will always lead to things like trade, money, people forming bigger groups, companies, cartels and eventually corporations etcetc. Only those who believe capitalism can somehow be fixed or made manageable find it important to distinguish different types of it, we just oppose it all, so we don't bother to distinguish between different flavors of shit too much, that would be just unnecessary and distracting.

### Since you are against competition, are you also against games? Humans can't live without competition!

LRS only opposes SOCIAL competition: we say competition as a mechanism by which society functions is bad, and that's what we want to remove. Competition as a part of voluntary games is fine and welcome, it is true that humans have the need for competition which games harmlessly satisfy. If you lose in a game, not much happens, but if you lose in competition for food, you die. It's the same as with violence: probably most people accept that violence is bad in real life and we'd like to have a society free of any violence, but we are fine with violence in video games, and in fact these games may help us satisfy our violent instincts and then be less violent in real life. So no need to worry about games, we love them too.

### Since you are against anonymity/censorship/privacy/secrecy, are you for example against anonymous imagine boards? Why are you using them if you hate anonymity?

Same answer as in previous question: anonymity (i.e. secrecy, censorship etc.) must not be a mechanism on which our society relies, it's a harmful mechanism in this context, good society must be open, uncensored, compatible with truth, with free speech, without fear of talking, without the need for censorship etc., BUT the concept of anonymity is not bad in itself -- once again, it may be fine as a part of a voluntary social game, which image boards are. Many card games are based on hiding one's cards from other players, we do NOT want to reject these games simply because they are based on the mechanism of secrecy, we merely argue that secrecy is a bad pillar of society.

### Since you are against privacy, will you give me your password?

I hope to be able to share my password one day, sadly I haven't achieved perfection yet and can't share my main password at this point, although I have shared my weaker passwords with some people already, but eventually I'd love to live keeping zero things secret. For now you can find many things about me through my website, including detailed photographs of my naked body from all sides, my medical info, real name, birth date and place, family tree, my income and so on.

Note that me opposing privacy doesn't mean I don't acknoledge that in current dystopia there exist dangers in sharing private information, I merely argue that firstly many of the worries are exagerrated due to fear culture AND, mainly, that focusing on increasing privacy is a bad thing in the long term.

### Which password manager do you recommend? Which crypto should I invest in? What do you think about my startup? Which AI chatbot do you recommend? Should I use Windows or Mac? How can I become more productive?

It baffles me so many people ask me things like this.

### How is this different from Wikipedia?

In many ways. Our wiki is better e.g. by being more free (completely public domain, no fair use proprietary images etc.), less bloated, better accessible, not infected by pseudoleftist fascism and censorship (we only censor absolutely necessary things, e.g. copyrighted things or things that would immediately put us in jail, though we still say many things that may get us in jail), we have articles that are better readable etc.

### WTF I am offended, is this a nazi site? Are you racist/Xphobic? Do you love Hitler?!?!

We're not fascists, we're in fact the exact opposite: our aim is to create technology that benefits everyone equally without any discrimination. I (drummyfish) am personally a pacifist anarchist, I love all living beings and believe in absolute social equality of all life forms. We invite and welcome everyone here, be it gays, communists, rightists, trannies, pedophiles or murderers, we love everyone equally, even you and Hitler.

Note that the fact that we love someone (e.g. Hitler) does NOT mean we embrace his ideas (e.g. Nazism) or even that we e.g. like the way he looks. You may hear us say someone is a stupid ugly fascist, but even such individuals are living beings we love.

What we do NOT engage in is political correctness, censorship, offended culture, identity politics and pseudoleftism. We do NOT support fascist groups such as feminists and LGBT and we will NOT practice bullying and codes of conducts. We do not pretend there aren't any differences between people and we will make jokes that make you feel offended.

The fact that you're confused is caused by you assuming we are retards like everyone else, you think we will keep adjusting to any culture and fashion that develops around us but we don't do that because we think -- we stop adjusting to a culture once it becomes bad, so we have stopped behaving in accordance with 21st century culture; instead we keep developing our own less retarded culture that's forked from the older, saner culture. So while to most people (retards) political incorrectness today implies hostility, violence and danger, to us it doesn't have the same meaning at all, we simply continue living in the past when political incorrectness was completely normal and non-harmful. So the error here is in you.

### Are You Shitting Me? Your Site Is The Best Example Of Far Right Rhetoric.

LMAO this is exactly where you are wrong, this question proves you are an absolute NPC trained to just detect keywords. I am so glad you asked though because this will help you see how brainwashed you are.

Literally NOWHERE do I advocate to ever hurt anyone, kill anyone or torture anyone. I ALWAYS advocate to LOVE everyone, help EVERYONE selflessly. Really I dare you to find a single instance of me inciting violence against a living being. I NEVER do it. I just use words you've been taught to hate, such as nigger or retard, and the fact that you judge me just by the words themselves proves you DO NOT THINK AT ALL. Please wake up finally.

### But it really seems you hate gay people and trans people and even women, isn't it so?

No, we state it over and over: WE LOVE EVERYONE. If someone feels he's a woman despite having a dick, so be it, if someone's a man who loves to fuck other man or if someone likes to fuck cars or if someone likes to walk on his hands instead of his feet, it's all fine, even if we find some of it stupid, non-pleasant to look at, funny or if we don't care, people are simply how they are, why care about about how someone is? A different matter is forming groups practicing fascism, i.e. if gays or transsexuals or women or Germans or whites or rightists or any other group gets together to fight against any other group, that's bad and it's what we oppose, i.e. we oppose the concept of this kind of war itself, it has nothing to do what's the physical or mental difference of individuals the grouping is based on.

### OK then why are there swastikas on your main page?

Swastika is an old religious symbol used e.g. in Buddhism, it is a sign of good fortune and protection from evil. Nazis later used swastika but it doesn't give them monopoly over it, and also they used the other version, with arms going clockwise (AND usually also turned additional 45 degrees), so you can only confuse it with Nazi swastika if you are retarded.

### Why do you use the nigger-w so much?

You mean nigger? I say nigger so much because it's funny and also to counterbalance its censorship, we mustn't be afraid of words. The more they censor something, the more I am going to uncensor it. They have to learn that the only way to make me not say that word so often is to stop censoring it, so to their action of censorship I produce a reaction they dislike. That's basically how you train a dog. (Please don't ask who "they" are, it's pretty obvious).

It also has the nice side effect of making this less likely to be used by corporations and SJWs.

### How can you say you love all living beings and use offensive language at the same time?

Rather ask why you cannot do the same -- really, think about it deeper. Why are we forbidding "offensive" language? Maybe because in the spoiled mainstream culture offensive language implies aggression and threat, it may incite violence, encourage destruction and so on. In LRS culture this is in no way so, we practice free speech, i.e. we simply don't put on any masks or hide our thoughts from others, we are honest: if I think someone is stupid, why should I lie and say I think he is not stupid? (Keep in mind that staying silent may also be a form of lying and pretense.) This doesn't mean I can't love the individual -- if I couldn't love stupid beings, I couldn't love dogs and cats because they don't reach my level of intelligence, but I do love them. In LRS culture expressing disgust, frustration and strong disagreements doesn't at all mean hostility or an incentive to fight and destroy. Swearing and insults are an important way of expressing certain kinds of emotions and strong disagreement, we will not give up this tool, we have it and it's useful, so we will use it.

The culture of being offended is bullshit, it is a pseudoleftist (fascist) invention that serves as a weapon to justify censorship, canceling and bullying of people. Since I love all people, I don't support any weapons against anyone (not even against people I dislike or disagree with). People are offended by language because they're taught to be offended by it by the propaganda, I am helping them unlearn it. Political correctness is one of the most retarded and toxic things to ever have been invented. Learn to separate being evil and being angry.

### But don't you think someone can misinterpret your politically incorrect speech for inciting violence, fascism etc.?

Yes, idiots can misinterpret anything, that's not my fault, truth has to be revealed -- if someone wrongly interprets a message or uses truth for doing harm, then he is to be blamed, not me. If you think I am to be blamed because I should take into account the possibility of my words leading to someone causing harm, then I am also not to blame because my politically incorrect speech is itself a reaction to the pseudoleftist insanity, so ultimately the pseudoleft is to be blamed because they should take into account that by creating hell on Earth someone will start doing what I do which may lead to someone else doing something bad. Either way I, standing in the middle of the chain, am not responsible, logically you cannot put the blame on me, you have to choose whether the responsibility lies at the end of the chain (correct) or at its beginning (wrong but still doesn't serve you).

NOTE: blame here is used in moral sense, not in legal sense or in sense of implying punishment. I simply argue that a scientist shouldn't avoid creating inventions that may be abused. Would you blame Alan Turing for Apple's atrocities?

### But how can you so pretentiously preach "absolute love" and then say you hate capitalists, fascists, bloat etc.?

OK, firstly we do NOT love *everything*, we do NOT advocate against hate itself, only against hate of living beings (note we say we love *everyone*, not *everything*). Hating other things than living beings, such as some bad ideas or malicious objects, is totally acceptable, there's no problem with it. We in fact think hate of some concepts is necessary for finding better ways.

Now when it comes to *"hating"* people, there's an important distinction to be stressed: we never hate a living being as such, we may only hate their properties. So when we say we *hate* someone, it's merely a matter of language convenience -- saying we *hate* someone never means we hate a man as such, but only some thing about that man, for example his opinions, his work, actions, behavior or even appearance. I can hear you ask: what's the difference? The difference is we'll never try to eliminate a living being or cause it suffering because we love it, we may only try to change, in non-violent ways, their attributes we find wrong (which we *hate*): for example we may try to educate the person, point out errors in his arguments, give him advice, and if that doesn't work we may simply choose to avoid his presence. But we will never target hate against him. Hate the sin, not the sinner.

And yeah, of course sometimes we make jokes and sarcastic comments, it is relied on your ability to recognize those yourself. We see it as retarded and a great insult to intelligence to put disclaimers on jokes, that's really the worst thing you can do to a joke.

### How can you be pro cannibalism if you advocate veganism?

We advocate ethical veganism/vegetarianism, we refuse to eat meat with the goal of not having to kill animals, as we value life and its happiness above anything else. However this goal is actually sometimes compatible with eating meat -- it's for example fine to eat an animal that died of old age or by accident -- in fact it's probably PREFERABLE to do so because not eating a dead animal is wasteful, it is food we throw away, and eating meat is also healthy, so it's a very valuable kind of food provided we don't get it very often. People are animals too, so it applies to people as well: eating someone who died provides very rare, valuable kind of food to living beings. It's understandable that culturally people are very opposed to cannibalism, but logically it makes sense. If someone is still so extremely opposed to the idea he just won't be able to force himself to eating someone, it may be good to at least think of this: feed dead people to animals, it does the same kind of service -- some cultures practice this, see sky burial.

### B... b... but u cant write a big work it like this.

Bitch I can, I have no boss, no publisher, no sponsors, no collaborators, no paying customers, no TOS, no COC or EULA or WTF, I don't have to suck any dicks, I can write literally what I want here in any way I want -- this means the work is TRULY free, it has practically no barriers and censoring mechanisms. Why don't you do it too?

### U say X is bad but you did X.

Yeah I'm shit, OK? Is that what you wanted to hear? I'm a shitty idiot retard, I constantly change and what I did in the past may have been bad, maybe I'll even do bad shit in the future. I just give you information and it's up to you what you do with it OK?

### Why are you insulting some people very much?

There is the following rule: if he's got too much fame, he needs more shame.

Basically I help reduce their enormously inflated ego which is a very bad disease (while also taking the opportunity to test free speech etc.). If someone has very low self esteem, it's good to help him out by bringing up his positives -- NO, not in the "self improvement" way -- in normal, human way. Not by lying, but simply by focusing on the good. If someone feels down, it's good to give him hope, show him the good, give him a hug, because being depressed and feeling down is a state of illness we want to cure. Similarly the other extreme -- too much self esteem -- is an extremely harmful disease, the ego has to be reduced, just like you cut off tumor tissue despite normally cutting parts of human body is generally bad. Here it's good to focus on the negative, for example that his face looks like ass, that he's stupid and so on (but we have to be careful: even negative attention is still attention, many times it's better to just ignore the individual). Notice that greater insults are coming towards greater celebrities: society needs to learn that being a celebrity inevitably comes with the disease of inflated ego, it is practically impossible to be a celebrity and being humble at the same time -- if we learn to dislike celebrities, it will no longer be possible for celebrities to exist because becoming a celebrity will come with decreasing popularity (while today it comes with increasing popularity, which is a very unstable system), the system will be self sustaining, keeping good health of society and people alike, creating a society completely without any narcissists and celebrities. So basically we all have to learn to dislike celebrities and help them out by insulting (and also ignoring) them the more they are famous.

But it may also be the case that sometimes I just publish my uncensored thoughts of frustration in a bad mental state and just insult someone and later on I just don't want to censor myself -- for this I am sorry, I am a shitty imperfect retard as well, even though I try to minimize this. In any case it should still be the case that speech never hurts anyone, either what I say is true, in which case it's OK to say it, or it isn't and I am a liar, so I am at worst hurting myself.

### So you really "love" everyone, even dicks like Trump, school shooters, instagram manipulators etc.?

Yes, but it may need an elaboration. There are many different kinds of love: love of a sexual partner, love of a parent, love of a pet, love of a hobby, love of nature etc. Obviously we can't love everyone with the same kind of love we have e.g. for our life partner, that's impossible if we've actually never even seen most people who live on this planet. The love we are talking about -- our universal love of everyone -- is an unconditional love of life itself. Being alive is a miracle, it's beautiful, and as living beings we feel a sense of connection with all other living beings in this universe who were for some reason chosen to experience this rare miracle as well -- we know what it feels like to live and we know other living beings experience this special, mysterious privilege too, though for a limited time. This is the most basic kind of love, an empathy, the happiness of seeing someone else live. It is sacred, there's nothing more pure in this universe than feeling this empathy, it works without language, without science, without explanation. While not all living beings are capable of this love (a virus probably won't feel any empathy), we believe all humans have this love in them, even if it's being suppressed by their environment that often forces them compete, hate, even kill. Our goal is to awaken this love in everyone as we believe it's the only way to achieve a truly happy coexistence of us, living beings.

### Why do you say you don't fight when clearly you are fighting the whole world here.

That's what you would call it -- am I literally physically punching the world in the face or something? Rather ask yourself why you choose to compare things like education and advocating love to a war. I am just revealing truth, educating, sometimes expressing frustration, anger and emotion, sometimes joking, without political correctness. Sometimes names greatly matter and LRS voluntarily chooses to never view its endeavor as being comparable to a fight, like capitalists like to do -- in many situations this literally IS only about using a different word -- seemingly something of small to no importance -- however the word sets a mood and establishes a mindset, when we go far enough, it will start to matter that we have chosen to not see ourselves as fighter, for example we **will NEVER advocate any violence or call for anyone's death**, unlike for example LGBT, feminists and Antifa, the "fighters".

### I AM CRYING FROM FEAR THAT YOU COLLECT MY PRECIOUS, PRECIOUS DATA, please please tell me what data you collect about me, I'm shaking right now.

Chill your balls motherfucker, I WOULD collect all your data because I absolutely shit on privacy, I would never respect any shitty privacy laws even if they gave a bullet for it and if I wasn't anticapitalist I'd gladly sell it to terrorist Indian spammers, but you're lucky that I'm lazy to set anything up and that I'm not a capitalist, so I have literally no interest in collecting any data, I know exactly ZERO stuff about anything, I don't give a shit about popularity, appeal, SEO, I have no ads, I don't give a single shit about anything. Well, basically the one thing I can see is daily website bandwidth usage for the last week, so I just get a very rough idea of how many pages per day got downloaded (but I don't even know which they were), that's basically it. Unlearn privacy hysteria please (for your own good).

UPDATE 2025: I was looking around now and discovered my web server is keeping an access log BY DEFAULT, but it's rotated so it always goes only like a month back, I can see nothing further back in the past, I can technically check out which IP addresses (and user agents and this kind of stuff) request which files in very recent weeks if I want to, but I think this is absolutely standard on any web server you ever visited, it serves to detect bots and get some basic idea about which countries visit your site the most and so on. I felt obliged to leave this note here so you know as much as I do: if you're absolutely scared about your IP address being recorded in some log for 4 weeks, just use Tor or some kind of proxy or anything like that, but that's the number one thing you're probably already doing. Like I say, it's all just bullshit hysteria that you're buying into.

### OH MY GAAAAAAAWD, you are sooooo productive, you made so many projects all yourself, what magical rituals do you perform for such PRODUCTIVITY, do you listen to motivational speeches before sleep or drink newborn blood??? TELL ME, I HAVE TO KNOW, I wanna PRODUUUUUUCEEEE!

I am THE laziest bastard who EVER walked this soil, if I seem """productive""" to you then only because I ditch all bullshit and practice minimalism. Literally I sometimes do nothing for half a year, then I sometimes do thing here and there over weekends and in a few months I got a new thing made, it's simply the uneatable efficiency of minimalism. If I, the most anti-work, laziest, dumbest shit that ever walked this soil can make these things just by adopting minimalism, imagine what could be made by let's say three non-lazy, smart people. The world would be wonderful. Just ditch capitalism and see it come true.

### You literally wrote this whole wiki yourself? How do you do it?

See previous question, it just became a habit to write down what comes to my mind plus note stuff I find useful and I like to read through it from time to time, add more comments, polish stuff, and after a few years of daily writing you get something like this. I can write every day without much effort because I do it instead of wasting my life on bullshit like constantly migrating and updating my website framework (since I have none), checking my bank accounts, maintaining my car (since I have none), maintaining my castle sized house (since I have none), going to work (which I try to not have), masturbating all day (I just do it quickly), consuming TikTok, making smalltalk, arguing on the Internet, going to parties and shit like that. When I happen to talk to someone and we disagree on something, I immediately know it's a complete waste of life talking to him further so rather than trying to argue on I tell him he won the debate (this makes him extremely happy), then I go and write my counterargument on this wiki so that me spending time on formulating the argument will be seen by more people and hence may actually be useful, plus next time I can just provide a link to my article as my argument without any extra effort.

### Did you use AI to write this wiki?

NO. I hate AI, it's a modern zoomer bloat, also it's stupid as fuck and I wouldn't trust it with a first grader's homework, let alone anything more complex. Also I want this to be 100% my original work in case some dataset copyright trolls wanted to bully this wiki. Also this wiki must keep its unique personality. Using AI also probably wouldn't be a very good example considering our LRS values. This wiki is and will remain an AI virgin. The closest this might get to being touched by AI is possibly me having some articles proofread in the future to maybe spot some errors, but I will never let it actually GENERATE anything.

### I dislike this wiki, our teacher taught us that global variables are bad and that OOP is good.

This is not a question you dummy. Have you even read the title of this page? Anyway, your teacher is stupid, he is, very likely unknowingly, just spreading the capitalist propaganda. He probably believes what he's saying but he's wrong.

### Lol HAHAHA you've got this fact wrong and you misunderstand this and this topic, you've got bugs in code, your writing sucks etc. How dare you write about things you have no clue about?

*see also gatekeeping*

I want a public domain encyclopedia that also includes topics of new technology and correct views without censorship, and also one which doesn't literally make me want to kill myself due to inserted propaganda of evil. Since this supposedly modern society failed to produce even a single such encyclopedia and since every idiot on this planet wants to keep his copyright on everything he writes and/or wants to censor what he creates, I am forced to write the encyclopedia myself from scratch, even for the price of making mistakes. No, US public domain doesn't count as world wide public domain. Even without copyright there are still so called moral rights etc. Blame this society for not allowing even a tiny bit of information to slip into public domain. Writing my own encyclopedia is literally the best I can do in the situation I am in. Nothing is perfect, I still believe this can be helpful to someone. You shouldn't take facts from a random website for granted. I have to do my own research on everything, even on thing I have basically no clue about -- I know there are people a million times more knowledgeable on many subjects I write about, but I simply cannot believe them, today's society forces experts to lie, so rather than taking a lie from an expert I am forced to take a honest view of a layman (me). This society is also quite fucked up in forcing the idea that you can't make basic observations unless you have 10 PhDs, you are only allowed to spread the gospel officially approved of by decorated soyentists -- I just ignore this. If you wanna help me correct errors, email me.

### Why is this gay shit so poorly written and inconsistent (typos, incorrect comma placement, inconsistent acronym case, weird grammar etc.)?

Mainly for these reasons:

- On purpose, this is kinda informal text and doesn't wanna get all serious, I want the text to flow in the same way in which informal Internet chat does (both during reading and writing). Though I personally hate such mistakes (and the laziness of authors to proofread) in nice/formal texts, I purposefully don't aim for creating such type of text here because that would firstly make it something else than I want, and secondly it would be extra work and effort that I think is better spent on actually communicating ideas (as opposed to to communicating them perfectly). Afterall a "nicer" version of the wiki can be made by anyone as it is completely public domain.
- This wiki is rather a dirty tool, a temporary vehicle on a way to a better technology and society, not a tidy encyclopedia. It prefers communicating ideas to achieving perfect form, focusing too much on nice form would result in having to leave out a lot of important information due to "quality assurance".
- I don't care sometimes.
- I'm lazy.
- I'm shit and just make mistakes.

### How can you use CC0 if you, as anarchists, reject laws and intellectual property?

We use it to **remove** law from our project, it's kind of like using a weapon to destroy itself. Using a license such as GFDL would mean we're keeping our copyright and are willing to execute enforcement of intellectual property laws, however using a CC0 waiver means we GIVE UP all lawful exclusive rights that have been forced on us. This has no negative effects: if law applies, then we use it to remove itself, and if it doesn't, then nothing happens. To those that acknowledge the reality of the fact that adapting proprietary information can lead to being bullied by the state we give a guarantee this won't happen, and others simply don't have to care.

A simple analogy is this: a law is so fucked up nowadays that it forces us to point a gun at anyone by default when we create something. It's as if they literally put a gun in our hand and force point it at someone. We decide to drop that weapon, not merely promise to not shoot.

However using legal tools will always be a question of considering the pros and cons -- at the time of writing this using CC0 is very easy and achieves great freedom with almost no negative effects, so we choose to do it. But if in the future situation changes so that achieving legal public domain would have more negative effects, then we might choose to ignore the law -- if for example in the future it is ruled that to release something into legal public domain one has to fill out many sheets of paper and pay some fees, we would probably reconsider accepting this as that burdens creators, discriminates against the poor, supports financial bullying and gives money to the overlords, so in such case we'd probably choose to rather ignore law and just use informal waivers. In the dystopia we are simply always looking for the least bad solution.

### What software is this wiki POWERED BY? Maybe some kind of orchestrated NPM heroku static generator responsive solution on rails running inside a banana orange virtual machine that I can conjure up by praying to the gods through ten layers of virtualized docker solutions?

None of that bullshit, I use git, the articles are written in markdown and converted to HTML with a simple script.

### I don't want my name associated with this, can you remove a reference to myself or my software from your wiki?

No.

### How can you think you are the smartest man in universe? How can you say your opinions are facts? Isn't it egoistic?

I don't think I am the smartest at all -- I never said that, except in the article about IQ. In fact I am highly dumb, I just have a gift of being completely immune to propaganda and seeing the world clearly, and I happen to be in circumstances under which I can do what others can't; for example as I have no friends and no one likes me, I can write and create freely, without self censorship due to fear of losing my job, offending my friends etc. I can write close to what is the absolute truth thanks to all this. I am also super autistic in that I enjoy just thinking 24/7 about programming and stuff instead of thinking about money and watching ads, which compensates for my dumbness a bit.

How do I know my opinions are facts? Experience. How do we discover facts? There is never a 100% certainty of anything, even of mathematical proofs, we may only ever have a great statistical confidence and beliefs so strong we call them facts. Just as by walking 1000 times against a wall you learn you won't walk through, I have over the decades learned I am correct in what I say and that everyone else is simply a monkey incapable of thinking. I used to be the kind of guy "open to discussion and opinions of others", I was giving this approach a chance over and over for about 30 years, I had more than enough patience, but it didn't work, the world has failed. People are absolutely stupid, you can physically show them something, give them tons of evidence and proofs, they won't believe what is literally in front of their eyes -- no, not even intellectuals, people in universities etc. Talking to others and listening to them is a complete waste of life, it's like trying to talk to potatoes or rocks, I might just as well be punching air all day or trying to eat dirt. The best I found I can do now is kind of talk to myself here, record my brain dump in hopes someone will once understand. I really don't know what else to do.

There is nothing egoistic about being special in something, everyone has a talent for something, egoism is about being fascist, preoccupied with oneself and focusing on self benefit, achieving fame, recognition etc., which I try my best to never do. Maybe I slip sometimes as an imperfect man I am, I make mistakes, I do stupid stuff, but I honestly just want the good of everyone without putting myself in the front.

### Hey dude, you're ignorant like a monkey, this topic XYZ you're analyzing has been academically examined and blablabla Friedrich Nietzsche, you're just reinventing the wheel, do you know that? Did you even read Plato before it was mainstream? Do you even lift bro?

I am 10 IQ chimpanzee and I am ignorant of a lot of shit, sometimes accidentally and sometimes not, I like to derive conclusions myself and I think there is value in reinventing the wheel sometimes. Standing on the shoulders of previous generations and taking things as proven is efficient and comfortable, often a good decision, but sometimes one that will lead to missing things that could have been -- take civilizations that developed independently of each other, how different they ended up to be, they didn't necessarily converge to being the same. How can we be sure our ways are the best just because we managed to wipe out other civilizations that lived differently? Maybe they were onto something. Trying to invent things again from scratch helps us test if where we're going is really the only way, or perhaps reveal there is a better way.

### You Should Read More And Write Less.

Not a question but good point, I see what you are saying: some people talk too much when they should rather be listening. I am aware of this and appreciate the advice, I try to follow it but there are several factors at play here: firstly I am weird, probably retarded and autistic and I have trouble understanding other people, I've always had problems understanding what others wanted to say and so I learned to do everything myself, even if it meant reinventing the wheel. This is both my weakness, as in I am unable to collaborate with others, and an advantage as I became able to do a lot on my own, becoming more independent, including my thinking. I am also a slow reader, maybe also due to what's been said, and I have hard time reading about something that causes me anxiety, which is anything touching on politics etc. So even if there is literature on some topic I will often mostly ignore it and rather derive the conclusions myself, it's just how I am, and there are pros and cons: I will never keep up with the "experts" that stand on the shoulder of others, I will make mistakes and will be slower at making progress, but I will also be more independent, may get deeper insight and even discover new paths that the established research just missed or ignored (on purpose or not). I am not saying this is how everyone should always operate, but it is how I mostly operate. Secondly I also found that I can no longer trust anyone, so I HAVE TO do everything myself. Thirdly I sometimes also feel people went too much towards the other extreme: everyone is just listening and consuming without actively doing anything and I feel I must break this, for myself but also show others they should try it too, people have to become more active and independent in their thinking. See also soyence.

### Don't you think people will leave your website when they read in the article they are being called retards?

*main article: butthurt*

Only idiots will, those are people who are beyond saving anyway, so in reality I'm just saving them time. For me it works like this (it should also work like this for you, else you're faulty): if I read somewhere a thing *X* is retarded, along with a good explanation as to why, and I know I'm doing *X*, I really say to myself "hmm, I'd like to be less retarded, I should probably stop doing that", and then I try -- that's how I unretard myself more and more. That's how it works for people who have a good, essentially non-retarded mindset (even if they still do many retarded things; remember, only God can be perfect). Truth is a truth, if something is stupid it's stated to be stupid, being diplomatic is harmful and idiotic.

### Do you believe in god?

I don't know, I ask myself the same. The issue lies in what the question really means, I don't know how to answer because I don't know what's being asked. I am definitely not a fedora atheist, and I just as well don't subscribe to any "religion as a package" (though I was baptized when I was very little). I am absolutely positive there are things beyond our comprehension and it would be foolish to believe humans are special, unique, most intelligent or somehow central to the Universe, I see it as a fact there is something above, more powerful and intelligent (in its own way), I am just unsure about the nature of such a force (Does it "know" or "care" about us? What are its "goals"? Is it a single entity or multiple ones? Is it even "in" our Universe or somehow "above" it? Is it just an extremely powerful computer still abiding by the laws of our physics or is capable of performing literal miracles such as deciding undecidable problems thanks to existing above our Universe? Can we really even think about it in terms of our language which is only ever capable of describing concepts that are familiar to us?). The religion (if we could call it so) I found resonated best with me was Buddhism, but I never studied it or otherwise "immersed" myself in it, partly because I am lazy and partly because I encountered some obstacles (I find it hard to meditate or believe in reincarnation for example). Like always, I prefer to just absorb many ideas from different sources and form my own unique way of faith. What I believe in can probably be best understood from this wiki: for example I somehow see life as most the most sacred thing in the Universe and that's what all my morals are derived from.

### Do you get death threats?

Yes.

### Are you the only one in the world who is not affected by propaganda?

It definitely seems so.

### How does it feel to be the only one on this planet to see the undistorted truth of reality?

Pretty lonely and depressing.

### Are you a crank?

Depending on exact definition the answer is either "no" or "yes and it's a good thing".

### Are you retarded?

:( Maybe, but even stupid people can sometimes have smart ideas.
