I cannot even believe that there are people who agree with this moron. First of all, he's chasing an ideal that's not even THAT valid: not all of the crappy-written software is knowledge, not all source code is worth reading. Plus, proprietary software improves industry. Industry feeds people.
Not to mention, in today's world, it is impossible to live without depending on corporations. The only way to live without someone knowing a lot about you is to live in a cave, miles away from civilization.
The way he is using computers: he is just putting restrictions on himself, thinking he actually removes them.
The only thing I agree with here is his opinion about Lisp.
- sgift 14y agoLet me just paraphrase your words the same way you've paraphrased Stallman: "If something is hard, don't try it! And if you try it: You're a moron!" You may note that this doesn't accurately reflect your words. That's the risk of paraphrasing without context and argumentation.

- pferreir 14y agoWell, in that case we disagree on everything. I am personally grateful to Stallman (and many other people) for making it possible for me to have access to simple programming tools that I wouldn't have otherwise. That may not look as important today, but it for sure was in the past, when charging for software was the natural choice ("shareware" anyone?).
