What Are Geek Morals?
MCMTuesday, August 30, 2005
This post is from a version of my blog with inconsistent timestamps: evidently I was very good at defining 'modified' dates, but not 'created' dates. As such, I can't be sure when the content was actually written. Sorry!
When we were kids, cartoons taught us not to steal, to stand up for what was right, to always tell the truth... and by and large, we as a generation have listened to what we were taught on Saturday mornings. If you had a chance to influence the next generation of children... so what should I teach them?. Software patents are bad? Free speech, free beer? Something to do with filetrading? What are the themes or morals that you'd want to pass on to your children, so they can make intelligent decisions about all the propaganda they'll get fed in the next few years? Is there anything Papa Smurf could have promoted that would have made your life easier, growing up?
