sounds very interesting, I should read it!

Why not both? I don’t think those two things are dimetrally opposed and before internet and TV people read newspapers and books (or went to bed early because no lights).

its true there were stuff to do, but certainly people are more willing to get to know their neighbours better without these distractions! in the past there was more work to do, so that stopped them, so its sad that now that we have a lot of technology to make things easier, we dont use our new time wisely but instead with distraction-based technologies

In the end people are usually just not very interested in what they see as their everyday boring surroundings.

isnt it a bad sad though? I think our surroundings get more boring exactly because people tend to rather consume more exciting realities, be it TV series or tik tok. While theyre more “exciting” than your surroundings, i dont see how they make your life more meaningful than touching grass

imo, theres a big difference between acknowledging a language evolving by itself, and wanting to keep foreign influence out.

On a small scale foreign influence seems fine but the more that comes the weaker the language gets

oh yes thats what i mean. Coded in rust, loved this feature, went back to python a bit and became sad that I couldnt do the same. Feels stupid that a variable can be different types depending on the situation, and having a dataclass where just one field is relevant seems too dumb

im a unique snowflake who cannot be identified by any labels

This makes sense yeah. Im curious, does the bank rely on people having “too much” money in their bank? like more than the emergency fund? if everybody followed this advice, would the bank be in financial trouble?

That… seems very reductionistic. And also arent most american schools pretty segregated already since people tend to move to racially homogenous places already_

i can see that socialization issue, im far from having kids but i think maybe what i would want to do is like part homeschooling part go to school

im not sure how a society could be without force though, doesnt really make sense to me, hows your view of how politics should be?

my main thoughts arent about changing the politics but rather trying to become less reliant on these power structures and encouraging others to do so. Although im not focused on politics ill try to answer your questions anyway

What do you think about private property?

With this, do you mean regarding private control over the means of production? Im in favor of workplace democratization if a company gets big enough, how that would be decided or enforced is not something ive given much thoughts to.

if you mean private property as in like owning a house or property then i support that, but i heard communists/socialists also support that but calling it “personal property”, is that right?

Do you think everyone should be forced into whatever your preferred property rights regime is ?

i mean, anything i believe should come from a governing authority is forceful by definition, I support a democratic process (not necessarily the current implementations of it) so itd have to come from the consent of the people governed.

Do you think libre software licences should force individuals to keep derivatives open source or that they should be free to use it however they see fit including in proprietary software?

I dont think open software should be mandatory, but I also think we can reach a point where all the software we need is FOSS with a mix of grassroot movement from the bottom and facilitation from the top. E.g. every government machine using linux, giving money to FOSS projects, public campaign to encourage it etc…

im not a politician so im focusing on the from the bottom part .

Do you believe that it’s ethical to force your ideals on society based on the premise that the outcome would be beneficial to all?

I mean, to some degree? It should be some agreement in the society but all societies are based on force, Im just trying to minimize it.

so anyway, your questions are kind of to the side of what im focusing on but i tried my best to answer anyway lol
