Wonderful list, I agree with a lot of things, but
"And as for the schools, they were just holding pins within this fake school. Officially the purpose of schools is to teach kids. In fact their primary purpose is to keep kids locked up in one place for a big chunk of the day so adults can get things done."
I don't think this is true, this assumes that if an adult were not working he\she would devote time to their kids (and hence learning would be better). I think (from personal experience) school is a place where a lot can be learnt, and that system is important.
Another one "Good Bad Attitude – Like Americans, hackers win by breaking rules."
This only works when a very strong framework of rules exist that most people abide by, so when a hacker breaks few of those, being a minority, the system persists, or changes gradually. However if you look at a system like China or India, everybody is a hacker (in the sense everyone tries to find the shortest way to do something) and that leads to broken systems overall.
- squozzer 14y agoYou may be arguing China and India in reverse. Everybody is a hacker there because even those in charge of the systems (e.g. police) are hacking so it becomes a matter of survival.
