Internet people don't think U.S. laws apply to them when they go to other countries. Also, history has shown that anything done in concert with the ISOC is viewed as a mission from God. - Jim Fleming

" Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth " J.F.K

But, as a mathematician with expertise in the use of language in reasoning?

Anyone who cannot cope with mathematics is not fully human. At best, he is a tolerable subhuman who has learned to wear his shoes, bathe, and not make messes in the house. Robert A. Heinlein

To join the universal ring, each node needs to obtain a nodeId that is assigned by some element of a set of trusted authorities, e.g., ICANN or a certification authority like Verisign. The certification authority assigns a random.

Every great cause starts as a movement, becomes a business and eventually degenerates into a racket. - Eric Hoffer

"That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence."
Christopher Hitchens

The one common feature that many successful conservation projects have is a charismatic and inspirational leader that has a clear vision, can motivate the staff and can manage morale.
Dr Ulysses Seal, Founding Chairman IUCN Conservation Breeding

"Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it"

"How fortunate for leaders that men do not think." - Hitler

"In order for propaganda to be effective and have an opportunity to reach, it must address the least intelligent, the least informed. If it does, you also get everyone else." - Joseph Geobbels

"I hope you're sitting down: Journalism doesn't exist anymore. It hasn't for at least ten years now. The closest thing we have to journalism now is agenda-driven propaganda dressed up as "objective, hard-hitting news." Yes, this includes your favorite muckraking work over at Mother Jones or whatever. Journalism died a pretty sad death, and yeah, we're all kind of bummed about it." - Nicholas Pell

"I guess those invested in the horse industry and then the steam age also went through a period of denial. They just didn’t have social media to spread their nonsense." - Phil Cowley

"Science is the search for truth; that is, the effort to understand the world. It involves the rejection of bias, of dogma, of revelation, but not the rejection of morality."

Unix System Design Ideas

1. Rule of Modularity: Write simple parts connected by clean interfaces.
2. Rule of Clarity: Clarity is better than cleverness.
3. Rule of Composition: Design programs to be connected to other programs.
4. Rule of Separation: Separate policy from mechanism; separate interfaces from engines.
5. Rule of Simplicity: Design for simplicity; add complexity only where you must.
6. Rule of Parsimony: Write a big program only when it is clear by demonstration that nothing else will do.
7. Rule of Transparency: Design for visibility to make inspection and debuggingeasier.
8. Rule of Robustness: Robustness is the child of transparency and simplicity.
9. Rule of Representation: Fold knowledge into data so program logic can be stupid and robust.
10. Rule of Least Surprise: In interface design, always do the least surprising thing.
11. Rule of Silence: When a program has nothing surprising to say, it should say nothing.
12. Rule of Repair: When you must fail, fail noisily and as soon as possible.
13. Rule of Economy: Programmer time is expensive; conserve it in preference to machine time.
14. Rule of Generation: Avoid hand-hacking; write programs to write programs when you can.
15. Rule of Optimization: Prototype before polishing. Get it working before you optimize it.
16. Rule of Diversity: Distrust all claims for “one true way”.
17. Rule of Extensibility: Design for the future, because it will be here sooner than you think.
