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!
