Hello boys and girls from Zen Floater. Your favorite magical forest squirrel farmer
|
|
human being converted into squirrel by aliens in the 1960s. And today I want to do a podcast
|
|
talking about Richard Stolman and throw in my two cents on his life and what's happened.
|
|
As you all know, Richard Stolman went to MIT in the early 70s, worked in the Artificial Intelligence Lab.
|
|
And then I guess through the Berkeley project where they got a copy of Unix, he decided he would
|
|
begin to form the Gnu project and write their own free software version of Unix, which they started,
|
|
I think, in the late 70s. He formed the free software foundation project. I believe some time
|
|
in 1983, roughly a year or so before IBM released the first personal computer. Before that,
|
|
it was just things like VIC-20s, Amiga's, Texas Instrument computers, and several others,
|
|
TimeX, I think, had one. Of course, Apple had theirs. Don't forget about Apple and the original
|
|
Apple operating system. At any rate, Richard developed the GPL license,
|
|
which requires anyone who uses the free software code and modify it to return the changes to the
|
|
project so that they could be shared by all. Being an open BSD user, I can tell you that the BSD
|
|
license is nice, but it doesn't require you to return software changes so often. Corporations
|
|
like Apple who developed Mac OS X, largely stripping a lot of free BSD to do that, never return much
|
|
to the free BSD project. The Gnu project has literally thousands of people working on it around
|
|
the world. It is the largest collection of free software I'm aware of and without it. Open BSD would
|
|
be nothing but an operating system. There would be no applications. A lot of the stuff would be
|
|
missing. It would be basically a server OS only. Things like this Google Chromebook that I'm
|
|
talking to you off of. I'm using the old Acer today to make this recording, not the new Chromebook.
|
|
And I'm trying to get some use out of it before I convert it.
|
|
This thing wouldn't be, we wouldn't have Raspberry Pi's and the Raspberry Pi operating system.
|
|
We wouldn't have Android phones. For that matter, we wouldn't have the Mars helicopter, would we?
|
|
I mean, there's just all kinds of things. It's running on the International Space Station
|
|
to my understanding Linux is the operating system that controls the cruise missile that we
|
|
use to deliver nuclear warheads. The multitude of things that Linux controls today,
|
|
even in vehicles and car stereos, your thermostat, remote television cameras that you can mount
|
|
and transmit back to a server on Wi-Fi. Just God, it's just such an enormous project. I mean, Richard
|
|
Stalman at his peak was a very attractive person to developers. Most developers agreed that if
|
|
they were going to write free software, they didn't want another corporation to just steal it up
|
|
and make millions of dollars on it and not return anything to the community.
|
|
So, I thought I'd do a little reading of a number of websites
|
|
that I've gone through and just do some reading.
|
|
I've opened several pages here.
|
|
Here's an article from Newstack. It's thenewstack.io.
|
|
Why almost everyone wants Richard Stalman cancelled. I thought about providing links to all
|
|
these websites in my notes, but I figured why bother? No one's going to open them anyway,
|
|
but I'll just read through some of this. Advocates of open source inclusiveness
|
|
felt sidelined this March when the free software foundation reelected Richard Stalman to its
|
|
board of directors. And this week the free software foundation doubled down on this controversial
|
|
decision in a statement on the election of Stalman. And I agree with that. They should have never
|
|
been able to take him out to begin with on the comments that they're claiming are about pedophilia
|
|
and directly pedophilia. Reason being is, you know, Richard Stalman, even though he is the leader
|
|
or figurehead or whatever you want to label him as of the free software movement.
|
|
And it's just a huge armada of software. I mean, it's the largest collection of developers
|
|
and software that I'm aware of anywhere. There's no corporation that could match him.
|
|
No government could match him. The free software project is like the empire in Star Wars.
|
|
It's the imaginary empire in Star Wars in that it's just mind-boggling how large it is.
|
|
But beside that point, Richard Stalman is a very small figure when it comes to political
|
|
decisions like pedophilia. You know, as you all know, I'm part Native American.
|
|
And in Oklahoma, I was required to attend four years of Indian school studies of which
|
|
I've studied the history and culture of every single Native American tribe in North American
|
|
Canada, you know, Canada and the United States and even Mexico down through Central America.
|
|
And some of them, a few of them even into places like Brazil and, you know, the northern tip of South
|
|
America. And I remember we spent three months studying pedophilia in that school. And the reason why
|
|
the Caucasian community passed laws against pedophilia was they were witnessing in the Native
|
|
American tribe back in the day, back in the 19th century and the 18th century.
|
|
That they were breeding their women as soon as they could develop a period. In other words,
|
|
at age 14 or so, some of them even at 13, they were impregnating them and trying to have a child
|
|
with them. And virtually 80% of these females were dying. I mean, they were literally killing
|
|
themselves off as a community and they wouldn't stop it, you know, because they liked to have sex
|
|
and they didn't see anything wrong with it. Native Americans had an attitude toward women that
|
|
was almost identical to what you see in the Muslim community today, the Islamic world as we
|
|
witnessed it as they come into Europe, Canada and America. They basically just treat women like
|
|
cattle. And Caucasian people wanted to stop that so they passed laws against it. When the
|
|
Indians were put on reservations, they did everything they could do to stop it, including separating
|
|
the men and women in cases and putting them in separate schools just to try to cut it down.
|
|
They tried to and did force Christianity on the Native American community. And as you know,
|
|
I'm an atheist farmer. I don't think you could ever say I was a Catholic. I never really adopted
|
|
the Catholic religion. I think I've always been an atheist in my mind.
|
|
But at any rate, the point was well taken that if you get a 14-year-old girl pregnant, you put her
|
|
at risk for death. And on the issue of gay sex, men with 14-year-old boys, let's say the same thing
|
|
can happen. You can have serious damage to them without having to go in any detail over that. I mean,
|
|
you can literally kill a small boy trying to have sex with him. So these things are
|
|
discouraged and laws are passed preventing them from doing this, engaging this activity through
|
|
threat of imprisonment to stop this sort of bestiality and destruction of human life.
|
|
And that's what understood. But at the same time, when we look at the European Union, we see that
|
|
there are a growing number of people throughout France, Germany, all across the European Union,
|
|
that it's currently there, trying to pass laws to basically legalize pedophilia. And they've
|
|
been trying to do that for the last four years. And this has been an ongoing political movement,
|
|
even in the United States. I forget the name of the group here in the United States. They
|
|
actually have a pedophile group here in the United States. You know, I'm not doing a specific
|
|
amount of detailed research into that entire group. But amongst the people that are pro pedophilia
|
|
largely are the liberal Jewish community. And Richard Solomon was once Jewish, he's an atheist.
|
|
And perhaps he's just feeding into that same brain trust that they all are of.
|
|
They don't see a reason for Christians to invoke their laws against them and they want to be
|
|
free of it. You know, they're for freedom. And they're not bothering to look at the physical
|
|
aspects of why it was that it was banned to begin with. Not surprisingly, the state of California,
|
|
this year passed a law legalizing pedophilia down to the age of 14. So if you're caught having
|
|
sex with a 14-year-old girl or boy, you won't go to prison. The state of Oklahoma where I'm at,
|
|
we've known since I was a child that we still have on the books, a law which allows you to marry
|
|
at someone who is the age 14 or above. Now, this may seem strange to you that this law still
|
|
in the book because I think my first podcast I did, if you recall, was about a, was it a
|
|
Creek Man? I think it was that we're trying to throw in an Oklahoma prison for actually committing
|
|
pedophilia. And it went all the way to the Supreme Court and Justice Roberts helped throw the
|
|
deciding vote that the state of Oklahoma had no authority to jail this man because he was a Native
|
|
American. And this opened to the possibility, not the possibility, but actually made it so that
|
|
the individual five civilized tribes and all the other tribes reside here in Oklahoma are their
|
|
own individual governments. They have their own right to their own criminal system. And of course,
|
|
the man didn't end up going to an Oklahoma prison because of that. And so they have no
|
|
ability, at least with Native Americans, to stop them from engaging in pedophilia, not in the
|
|
state of Oklahoma. And I haven't heard much more on that subject, but that still stands that hasn't
|
|
changed. So there is this movement, and I'm not being judgemental, and I'm not endorsing pedophilia.
|
|
But there is a movement within the human race to try to legalize it globally. And perhaps some of
|
|
that in Europe is based on the fact that they have a growing Muslim community, and they all feel
|
|
that it's customary that the issue of pedophilia and the laws that prohibit it are morally wrong in
|
|
their mind, two mindsets, even though the same thing is happening over in Middle Eastern countries,
|
|
you see stories occasionally of some 40 or 50-year-old man getting a 14-year-old girl pregnant that he
|
|
married, and she dies. And these stories will continue to pop out. In fact,
|
|
I'm seeing stories being a member of GAB. And I watch these stories fly across GAB where
|
|
the Afghan refugees, a number of them, were taking child brides onto the C-17s, the C-130s,
|
|
and they're flying to other countries to be vetted, and they can't come into the United States
|
|
with a child bride. Sorry, but you can't do that. So at any rate, Richard's comments of which
|
|
there have been many that if it's mutual consent, then it should be allowed. I kind of agree with him
|
|
on that, but I also definitively understand the reason why that's illegal.
|
|
And it kind of backs up the notion that the reason you have
|
|
the age of 18 as the official age that you should be allowed to marry and have intercourse
|
|
with somebody else. You know, both partners have to be 18 years of age or older.
|
|
Basically indicates that anyone who is younger than 18 years of age has not developed
|
|
the adult mindset to be responsible for their own life, to vote, to be drafted and sent to Vietnam,
|
|
to yet they can drive a car at age 16. They cannot drink. They cannot, in many states,
|
|
smoke, even though I started smoking when I was 12. You know, and I think I talked about that before.
|
|
My culture and my heritage is vastly different from yours listeners, all of you.
|
|
I mean, here I know for a fact that you have not walked a mile in my shoes and I certainly
|
|
haven't walked a mile in years. So my background and experiences in this arena are vastly different
|
|
from yours. But it kind of backs up the notion that children under the age of 18 are basically
|
|
irresponsible. You know, they cannot make their own decisions their own without a parent's guidance.
|
|
And that is rooted in the fact that they're too young to have children. They can't reproduce.
|
|
And the clarity of this came into my mind when I went through my Indian education that the reason
|
|
we have the term minors is to signify the fact that they cannot reproduce successfully
|
|
without the threat of death. They're too young to have an established career somewhere to actually
|
|
start a family anyway. And that their choices and their ability to use logic and do the right
|
|
thing for themselves is not there yet. And frankly, in my opinion, it's probably not there yet
|
|
till they're about age 24, frankly. But it is funny, you know, when I was a child, my mother
|
|
took me down to the Tulsa airport to jump on an airplane that I was going to be sent to the
|
|
relatives because my parents were remodeling the house. I believe they're remodeling the kitchen
|
|
at the time. And they wanted me to go visit my grandparents. So I had to jump on an airplane
|
|
they couldn't go with me. And I went alone. And as a Native American kid, I packed a bag and on
|
|
that bag I packed my 45 caliber handgun. It was a cult. It was unloaded. I put in one box of
|
|
ammunition that my father had bought for me. Of course, enough clothes that I could change for
|
|
a week. You know, I could get my clothes laundered there at the grandparents house if I needed to.
|
|
I think a magazine or two I threw in there and I don't remember what else. And I'm like, you know,
|
|
12 years old or 11, 12 years old, something like that. Very young. And they sent me down to Tulsa
|
|
and they booked a plane on American Airlines. And American Airlines went up to the terminal.
|
|
My mom took me up and turned me over to a stewardess who was going to be responsible for my check-in.
|
|
And I had care on luggage with the bag so I carried the bag with me. And carried that gun right
|
|
on board the airplane. I also had cigarettes in my bag because I was smoking. My dad gave me
|
|
cigarettes which today, you know, if my parents, if I was a child today and my parents did to me
|
|
what they did back then, they would be in a pen pantry. They would be because we've taken all
|
|
the freedoms away from kids. They're all gone. They're all gone. So anyway, I get on board the plane
|
|
and I meet the captain. The captain's there. He wants to see me because, you know, I'm going to be
|
|
flying alone. So he shakes my hand and I decided to show him the gun that I had in the bag. He didn't
|
|
act surprised because back then you could carry a gun on an aircraft. It wasn't illegal.
|
|
He just wanted to make sure that it was unloaded.
|
|
And I took a pack of cigarettes out of the bag and put it in my pocket with some matches because I
|
|
didn't have a lighter. And there was no log against someone my age smoking. So anyway, he turned the
|
|
bag over to the stewardess. He put it in the overhead which I wasn't tall enough to even reach
|
|
and I was seated and strapped in by the stewardess. And it was a brand new 707 by the way. It was the
|
|
707 that I was on. American Airlines is a brand new aircraft. And of course, back then we didn't
|
|
have any metal detectors or anything. That stuff didn't happen until the 70s. You know, it's a
|
|
wrong decade. I mean, this is way earlier than the 70s. And, you know, if you're wondering how I
|
|
got a gun through the airport, there were no metal detectors at all in airports when I was a child.
|
|
All this crap got put in. You've had all your freedoms taken away. And this is sort of a speech I'm
|
|
making to you as I almost cry for you because you've lost so many freedoms. My fellow Americans,
|
|
I mean, it's just, it's incredible how many freedoms we've lost.
|
|
Anyway, the airplane takes off. There's maybe only 30 passengers on this huge plane. I mean,
|
|
we're all scattered out through the plane. So I'm pretty much on my own out in the middle
|
|
somewhere. There's nobody near me for a good 20 feet. And after we take off and get airborne,
|
|
before they even light the smoking lamp, I decided to go ahead and light up a cigarette. So here's
|
|
a 12-year-old having a cigarette and using an asteroid. You know, airplanes that asteroid is back
|
|
then. And I'm smoking. And the stewardess comes up to me after we get leveled off and asks if I'd
|
|
like to have a beer. And I happen to have a couple of dollars and quarters on me and I ask,
|
|
well, how much will it be? And she says, it'll cost you 50 cents. And I said, well, I've got 50 cents.
|
|
So I gave it to her and said, sure, I'd like to have a beer. And then she takes a 50 cents and goes
|
|
away to go get my beer. And comes back a minute or two later saying she talked to the captain
|
|
and she said that we couldn't give you a beer because it is illegal in the state of Oklahoma to
|
|
give a minor a beer. But it wasn't back then in Kansas. So she said, the pilot said, we have to
|
|
wait 20 minutes for us to get across the state line to fly over Kansas before the pilot will
|
|
allow you to buy that beer. And of course, we flew, as we flew north to grandma and grandpa's house,
|
|
we crossed the Kansas line and sure enough, she brought, she brought me a, a, a can of beer.
|
|
And so I had a beer in a cigarette at age 12 on a 707 with a 45 caliber cold in my bag in the
|
|
overhead. And that's a far cry. None of you will ever be able to do that at age 12. If there's
|
|
anyone that's age 12 listening, all those freedoms have been taken away from you.
|
|
You live in a prison state. Now having made that plea to try to open our society back up
|
|
a little bit, and I hope we do someday. I mean, it'd be great if we could do that and trust each
|
|
other and love each other like we did in the, that decade, you know, the decade of JFK.
|
|
I don't think that it's going to happen. And that's, that's sad. It really is. It's sad.
|
|
And let me, let me go on and continue thumbing through these websites about Richard Stallman and his
|
|
comments. I wanted to try to find a, let me just click to here. Here's, here's the website
|
|
BostonGlobe.com Metro. Richard Stallman resigns from MIT after comments about Jeffrey Epstein.
|
|
It says, Richard M. Stallman and MIT computer scientist, a pioneer in the free software movement.
|
|
And the winner of the MacArthur Genius Grant has resigned from MIT and his foundation after he
|
|
posted comments about a victim of Jeffrey Epstein who testified she was coherst into having sex
|
|
with a now deceased MIT professor. Well, being coherced into and being a sort of a sex
|
|
slave isn't exactly mutual consent, is it? It isn't. And that might have been one of the problems
|
|
with Richard trying to back this up. But it just goes to show you the power of that movement that I
|
|
was talking about of these people that want to legalize pedophilia and will openly express their
|
|
their opinions on it. There is a movement. They're trying to do it. And it hasn't stopped.
|
|
And so Richard Stallman got caught up in it and to my knowledge, he's the only one of the people
|
|
that have made comments like this that has been chastised and punished by any community. They stood
|
|
up and they chastised him. When you go across the globe and you look at the European leaders that
|
|
have tried to do this or the people in California, there's been no punishment for any of them.
|
|
None. And they're the people that could actually stop pedophilia and they're not doing it.
|
|
Richard Stallman has absolutely no control of her pedophilia. He's just making an open comment.
|
|
You know, he's not a god that it has control of all laws in the land. He's just the leader of the
|
|
Free Software Foundation movement or was anyway. And my mind still is because without his efforts,
|
|
there would be no Free Software Foundation. I mean, let's just be very plain and blatant about it.
|
|
And, you know, thinking backwards in time, I remember reading something about the Free Software
|
|
Foundation in a magazine back in the 1980s and that's how I first became aware of this.
|
|
You know, we didn't have the internet back then. So, and of course, I hadn't been MIT or anything.
|
|
So I didn't know Richard Stallman or any of the people that were working to make the Free Software
|
|
Foundation a thing. But honestly, you know, back then, I believe they were running an ad that if
|
|
you sent X amount of money and a tape to MIT, Richard Stallman or one of his colleagues would put
|
|
EMAX on that tape and send it back to you so that you could have the EMAX editor free of charge
|
|
for the most part of the, you know, the labor and doing it, they're just transferring the tape,
|
|
you know, the data to the tape. You could get the program essentially free, free software
|
|
and use it on your mainframe, which one of our guys did and I got a chance to get introduced to
|
|
GNU EMAX on a mainframe back in the 80s because, you know, my background is mostly through mainframes.
|
|
It's not, I hardly did much of anything on PCs because PCs of the era were incapable until the 90s
|
|
came and then my job was to convert all of the Burrows systems from Epsidic Cobal to Microfocus
|
|
Cobal and I worked with Microfocus Cobal teams to do that across the nation and I'm
|
|
also the author of a program called Pathways and that's my life. So I worked in both the life
|
|
insurance and health industries for years writing software and we converted mainframes over to
|
|
basically homemade boxes in silicon graphic racks that we designed ourselves that used,
|
|
still used pulse-elect technology. So in other words, the people with dumb terminals out there
|
|
that were hooked up to these insurance conglomerates continued to function the same way as if
|
|
they were on a mainframe only, their processing was being done, converted from Epsidic to ASCII and
|
|
the Cobal was converted from Burrows systems to Microfocus Cobal and I worked with that project to
|
|
bring Microfocus net express into reality until I retired and the company got sold to somebody
|
|
else since over in Britain now. Well actually I worked for them during that process. I was
|
|
for a year or two after they had moved the company I was still working on it and I engaged them to
|
|
try to move Microfocus Cobal from OS2 to Windows NT and then again from Windows NT to Red Hat.
|
|
I wanted it to be on Red Hat and of course as you know the company followed the lead of SAP and
|
|
they went with SESA and OpenSESA and they're still over there this day and I'm not involved with
|
|
any of that anymore but I do have a background in SAP I've worked on SAP systems and also
|
|
Lawson by the way so I'm kind of unusual in that I'm not a multimedia person you know I don't
|
|
make memes to put on gab and I don't work with videos and try to make animated gifts or work with
|
|
XML match or any of these other things I just don't do it in fact I haven't written anything
|
|
probably in nearly 20 years now and I've enjoyed it I've just been a goof off on Chromebooks
|
|
you know I've turned a total calming here that's what I've done laughing at myself I mean I've
|
|
I shouldn't be on a Chromebook I should be I've got another computer here that happens to have
|
|
Triscoll on it and I jump over to that every once in a while when I want to get off on Linux Triscoll
|
|
a really nice operating system and so is Geeks I really love Geeks you know anyway I'm
|
|
going to go ahead and cut it short I'm glad that Richard Stalman's back he's not in full capacity
|
|
but you know what everybody dies to and and perhaps it was good that we had a transition just to
|
|
get him out but my main point for making this podcast is that Richard Stalman says all kinds of
|
|
things and we knew that when we first saw his website you know and got to know him that he was very
|
|
open and vocal about his opinions on things and I imagine he's made a comment on everything from
|
|
fine wines to UFOs I was reading through one of his websites about a girlfriend that he had that
|
|
died in Florida and you know some of his writings are very tearful Richard Stalman is a real man
|
|
we thank you Richard Stalman I've never met you but you know I did contribute I gave a thousand
|
|
dollars to the free suffer foundation here this year and I think I'll continue to do that
|
|
until I die even though I'm an open BSD user because they do have a function society
|
|
Richard Stalman does and you just have to take people for who they are that Richard is going to
|
|
make comments about things and you just don't need to get upset about it you know people are acting
|
|
like him making a comment was going to enslave them in a particular idiom and it's just not
|
|
true he doesn't have that much power and I don't know why it is you would be upset about his comments
|
|
it's I have pretty much shelved Richard Stalman's comments I'll read them just like I'd read
|
|
anybody's comments on gab but I for the most part treat Richard Stalman even though I've praised him
|
|
I treat him like my my dishwasher you know when I get dirty dishes I'll throw some dirty
|
|
dishes in there I'll put some soap in there I'll push the button and you know it'll clean my
|

dishes but as far as anything that the dishwasher says back to me in a comment pro smoking pot or
|
|
whatever I kind of let that go in one ear out the other you know it's his comment I don't I don't
|
|
take it as if it's port and concrete and it reinforces steel it it's just his comment it doesn't
|
|
directly affect me at all and as I said there are bigger players involved in this pit affiliate
|
|
thing and apparently it's serious because as you know Epstein did not die he did not kill himself
|
|
there's no way it's not possible he was not a very good man I don't think I don't endorse Epstein
|
|
and I don't endorse some of the things that they're saying but I can kind of see Richard Stalman's
|
|
point when he makes comments that if it's mutual consent then let it happen I can see that I can
|
|
understand it assuming the parents and everybody were all welling you know and everybody was in
|
|
agreement then I I could see that but in so many of these cases because of the the fact that we
|
|
have established the term minority and minority is directly tied to biological processes for which
|
|
14 or girls cannot have children and 14 year old boys should probably not be having sex with men
|
|
or for that matter 14 year old boys should probably not be having sex with 55 year old women
|
|
let's just take it all the way here I I can see the point of why we've made it illegal and
|
|
so many of these actions like the one that Epstein was involved in were under coercion it wasn't
|
|
mutual consent at all which perhaps is the only thing that I would agree Richard Stalman for on
|
|
making his comment is he's making a comment on on one hand he's made comments that he agrees that
|
|
mutual consent but on the other hand in the case of the Epstein situation it wasn't and his
|
|
friend at MIT Minsky didn't have anything to do with any of it apparently according to his
|
|
wife's testimony he didn't engage in any sexual acts the whole thing was crap so basically Richard
|
|
got drugged through the system that he was apparently not aware of and I can't imagine how
|
|
he could have missed this of the fight between those that want to legalize pedophilia from the
|
|
liberal communities and those who do not do the biological reasons and so he's been enhanced and
|
|
grown a little bit and I see now reading that Richard has backtracked on his comments and decided that
|
|
he does not support this you know he's had a chance to absorb the damage and understand why the
|
|
damage is coming to him and that's sad that people get tied up in this it's sad I don't know
|
|
personally which way pedophilia will go right now it seems to me on the legal stage on the governmental
|
|
stage the pedophiles are winning despite Richard backing out of it the pedophiles are winning
|
|
and you can attribute that to whatever you want the Muslim community coming into Europe and demanding
|
|
the liberal Jewish community thinking that they want to be free from Christian laws
|
|
of which many of them have stated that in fact they've even declared themselves not a part of
|
|
the white race because of it in front of the federal court and don't even want to be considered
|
|
Caucasian people anymore and of course the the other side of the coin the ones that are battling to
|
|
continue to make pedophilia legal the Christian theist community largely and some of the Jewish
|
|
community not all of them I mean the the number of right wing Jewish people that are in this world
|
|
that our pro-Israel you could almost count on one hand in my mind they were very small community of
|
|
people considering how small the total community of Jewish people are here on the planet are I think
|
|
it's like what less than 20 million people or something 40 million people it's a very small number
|
|
of people anyway that battle will continue on and we'll just see how it goes and see what they do
|
|
with it but again I think it was absolutely silly for them to go after Richard Stalman because you
|
|
know he's not going to have any say so in any of this stuff that's that's actually going on around
|
|
you and I don't see anybody from the community that attacked Richard Stalman going after any of
|
|
these political leaders who have passed the stuff I don't I mean they they're all show and no go
|
|
anyway that's my two cents worth on this and naturally I'm going to say one last thing I'm
|
|
Richard Stalman by making this I'm not accusing Richard Stalman of engaging in pedophilia or
|
|
or any sort of sexual misconduct I wouldn't even accuse Richard Stalman of smoking pot I don't
|
|
think he does I think he's just one of those guys that likes to have an open mind and express
|
|
his thoughts on a subject it doesn't mean that he's doing anything he's just expressing his two
|
|
cents worth you know he's he's he is using his free speech rights because after all you know
|
|
he's the leader of the free software community and that's what he's going to do he's going to express
|
|
his free speech rights and so on mine I I'm not going to show a bias either for pedophilia
|
|
or against it what I am going to say is that the human race is like an iceberg out the middle
|
|
of the Atlantic with all of us hanging off the edge and kicking our feet trying to push that
|
|
iceberg in a direction and that iceberg is going to move very slowly and right now despite what
|
|
happened our mess it looks like the pedophiles are winning I mean the iceberg is moving toward
|
|
the island of pedophilia and I don't see anybody standing up to stop that and I I would just figure
|
|
that history will repeat itself that if they do get it legalized and in a number of places and
|
|
girls start dying again they'll make it illegal again just like we've seen the the recent flip
|
|
on abortion with the state of Texas which is another hot subject that I'm not going to I'm just
|
|
going to graze in this podcast and let it go and again not making a comment on that one way or
|
|
the other should we support women in their right to choice or should we defend life as the Christian
|
|
Theas see it and you see I don't have a bias against Christian Theas being an atheist I've lived
|
|
lived amongst them all my life and I try to live at peace with everybody I mean clearly I'm not
|
|
going to be steering the political world I am just a passenger on this train just like Richard
|
|
Stalman is we don't know where the train's going to go so anyway I think I'll go ahead and end
|
|
this podcast and let that go and I just had to make this because I'm glad that Richard Stalman's
|
|
back I appreciate the free software foundation what they're doing it does have a meaning
|
|
and a purpose and we need to continue on with that and not let this distract him I would also like
|
|
to give credit to to Luke Smith for coming to his aid and defense by making a video that free
|
|
software does make a difference because in our world it's all in the license and even though I
|
|
can write software using the BSD license that does not mean friends that I'm I won't be sued
|
|
by someone for doing so and that brings me to the last point of the free software foundation which
|
|
is great is their legal assistance team that helps protect some of their developers and their
|
|
community from these malicious patent and civil lawsuits that are going on and you know Richard
|
|
brainchild all that so my my question is if you're really against Richard Stalman why didn't you
|
|
get out of the free software foundation why are you staying because I don't see the free software
|
|
foundation being in any way an organization that would tie the hands of anybody over free speech
|
|
rights I don't get it I'm not getting it now I understand why you're against pedophilia you
|
|
know you have a right to opinion and I'll support you right to opinion but you don't have a
|
|
right to brutalize and essentially fuck over other people because they make their thoughts
|
|
public on certain subjects they exercise their free speech rights their freedom rights to do what
|
|
they want anyway the free software foundation in my opinion finally is it's not a church
|
|
it's not a church you know you don't have a right to nail people to a cross because they said
|
|
something you don't like it is a movement to try to expand the rights of freedom around the world
|
|
and and that we've all grown to understand hopefully all right thank you for your time I'm
|
|
going to let you go next audio I do I'm going to try to do one over COVID because there's been a
|
|
lot of things come out about COVID and I need to discuss them and this might take a month or two
|
|
for me to collect everything together thank you all have a good day
