  • I'm not complaining; I'm clarifying for less informed readers. It's a subtle and often misleading distinction.

    Calling a license that leads to more proprietary software "even more open source" is absolutely debatable. The only extra restriction is disallowing free software becoming proprietary, which promotes more openness overall.

    You're not wrong by any means, but people should understand the actual tradeoff when considering licenses.

  • Just because competition can be suppressed temporarily within a discrete system doesn't mean it has ceased to exist. Exactly why ideologies that demand the absence of competition will eventually be outcompeted from the outside.

  • Yes, exactly! For all the noxious effects of greed, it drives competition which drives evolution.

    Even if a utopian communist/anarchist society were able to stabilize on its own, it would inevitably be overcome at some point in the future by a more competitive society that had martially evolved beyond the utopia's understanding.

    Whether its right or wrong has no bearing on the entropy of it.

  • What a goofy take. "Having trouble with self control? Have you tried having self control?" Obviously there's something more going on or life would be a whole lot simpler. Sometimes externalizing a decision through a tool like a timer is part of how a person indirectly exerts self control.
