๐ŸŽตDie Gedanken sind frei.

Most adults will happily trade some ounce of freedom for interhuman cooperation, to increase their ability to survive, thrive, and successfully reproduce.

Women, by Nature, will generally have to trade more of it.

The same goes for all typical dependents: the ill, the infirm, children, the elderly, etc.

Someone who is alone, unprotected, and abandoned is the most free. He lives in perfect anarchy.

Here you can see the countries where the citizens have the "right to resist tyranny" written into law.

The responsibility to overthrow tyranny is literally written into the American and German association founding documents.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

And the Constitution allows for States circumventing the Federal government by calling a constitutional convention.

GERMAN BASIC LAW

"Article 20

[Constitutional principles โ€“ Right of resistance]

(1) The Federal Republic of Germany is a democratic and social federal state.

(2) All state authority is derived from the people. It shall be exercised by the people through elections and other votes and through specific legislative, executive and judicial bodies.

(3) The legislature shall be bound by the constitutional order, the executive and the judiciary by law and justice.

(4) All Germans shall have the right to resist any person seeking to abolish this constitutional order if no other remedy is available."

He's probably just applying different TikTok filters. They tend to beautify.

I have a FaceApp hair-lengthening filter and it thinks my eyebrows are too thin and my eyes need to have a sparkle in them. ๐Ÿ™„

Now, I just need this projected from my glasses, as augmented reality.

Wow, she's actually really pretty, under all the bizarre scribbles.

Well, I get the last laugh because I can rise early on Saturday, without an alarm, and get stuff done.

That moment where your feed gets incredibly full and you realize that everyone else is out having fun because it's Friday night.

Someone who has been emancipated is free. They are cut off. They are on their own.

"Like and equal are not the same thing at all."

Yes, male heads of house or tribe (or any human organisation, really).

Men who carry responsibility for the well-being of others. Men who exhibit self-sacrifice.

I had to get it all out, so that I can concentrate. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Have to empty my head, so that I can refill it with something else.

I think I'm done for now.

Just had one final thought ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ™ˆ

A lot of modern political theory depends upon the audience's ignorance of word origins.

Most people think, for instance, that "patriarchy" translates to "rule by men", but it doesn't.

The alternative to feminism is to be a lady.

Any woman can be a gentlewoman, just as any man can be a gentleman. It is simply a choice to embrace virtue and seek beauty and nobility, rather than wallowing in jealousy and anger and raging at the unfairness of Nature.

Nature doesn't hear you. Nature doesn't care.

In Germany, you don't have to file at all, unless you owe them money. So poor people tend to not file and the government keeps their refund. Clever.

I have to file in the USA and Germany, which is a big PITA. Sat down to do so for the third time, yesterday, and ended up posting pictures of women in carriages and joking about dragonslaying, instead.

But I cannot escape it, forever.

But crimes should not be defined by the ease of prosecution.

And a lot of professional code is already generated from models or pseudocode.

Or the programmers are using AI to work faster (which gets increasingly limited, the more specific and complex the task is).

Machine learning isn't new...

I think people outside of professional SW development don't realize how little time is spent programming. As in, typing lines of code.

Not much, yet.

Then, probably the coding goes first. Then the testing. Then design. Then concept.

And then I can retire. ๐Ÿ˜‚

Almost any organization, including governments, families, churches, clubs, protocols, etc.

I'm not saying that you shouldn't join hierarchies. I'm saying you should only join them consciously and deliberately.

You shouldn't slide into "subject mode" and find yourself pleading for fair judgment from judges who owe you nothing and are not accountable to you for their decisions.

Everyone at the top of a hierarchy should have to fight to stay there.

From the moment they sit down on the throne, someone should be storming the castle. The competition should be constant and relentless.

Capitalism is red in tooth and claw.

Additionally, it is important to differentiate between a true technical advancement and mere gatekeeping or patenting.

For instance, Google's clean search page and page-ranks were innovations.

Allowing Google to dominate search results for decades was gatekeeping.

If you read other people's ideas, that will reduce your ability to have novel ideas. Anything you produce after that will be an offshoot of their idea or something created in opposition to it.

Ideas are a meme: a mind-virus that effects your brain and permamently alters its structure.

There is no cure.

You cannot "unread" something, once it has been read.

I admire beauty. It's a good, like intelligence, athletic prowess, artistic talent, a virtuous character, etc.

Pretty girls make me happy. They're like flowers.

It's the beauty equivalent of an IQ scale: an accurate measure of some particular quality.

It isn't a measure of how valuable she is to you, as a person. People and relationships are more complicated than that.

Also seems to be an assumed correlation with deeper voices.

Anything masculine or aggressive, really.

Or this.

Well, most attractive women wouldn't be intelligent, as intelligence is much rarer than attractiveness, so that actually makes some sense.

Intelligent women are relatively rare and highly intelligent women are like unicorns.
