I'm surprised at the lack of empathy towards what seems a pretty genuine attempt at introspection.
To me it seems obvious that RMS is a person with a handicap and deserves at least a little understanding and support, especially since he is openly acknowledging his difference.
- pseudalopex 6y agoHe always said he was different. His statement doesn't evince any new understanding. He portrays himself as willing to learn. People who worked with him have different stories.[1] [1] http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html http://ebb.org/bkuhn/blog/2019/10/15/fsf-rms.html
- mariusor 6y agoThis is a pretty callous and uncharitable dismissal of rms' message. Everybody can better themselves despite what their peers might believe.
- pseudalopex 6y agoHis peers don't say he can't better himself. They say he resists it extraordinarily strongly. Feeling more empathy for people who deal with him isn't callous.
