10 months agoand if you consider that “economic barrier to entry” can make any bigger company, who is able to scoop a startup’s code & sell the use of it, can extinguish the startup who created the code …
then, yes, there are definitely situations where protection-against-competitors, some of whom have DEEP pockets, could be an actual requirement, for opensourcing one’s code.
“Coopetition” Bill Gates coined, where you “cooperate” with your competitors, but, being Microsoft, you do it so you can snuff them, soon.
I can definitely see why a company would want to be able to allow limited use of their code, globally, but to legally-prohibit using it to destroy them.
I’m a braindamage survivor.
You need to communicate your values, and why they are your values.
You need to communicate who you are, via the most-significant-moments/events you experienced: the most-significant-for-you meanings, see?
As for you disappearing, the Soul/CellOfGod/ChildOfGod/Continuum ( whatever you want to call it ) that causes the molecules in your body to continue-living ( yes, there is a physics-level cause for the anti-entropy behaviour expressed as living-organisms, and it isn’t there, when those same molecules are doing the disintegrating-corpse thing, obviously )
That cause is unkillable.
It keeps getting caught in conceptions/lives, through endless-stream-of-Universes’s perpetual recycling/churning of ALL energies ( including meaning! ) contained within it.
It isn’t the-individual-life that is the center,
it is the Soul/CellOfGod/ParticleOfBrahman that is.
IT experienced some of ITs growing-up, in/through your-life.
With you, your Soul got a gift, fersure.
My life’s been hell, & I’m glad:
nothing like aversion-therapy to force a Soul/CellOfGod to grow-up, eh?
The Soul that had “me”-personality won’t ever make that mistake, again.
: )
If you’ve still got any ability to read, or to have someone read to you, please have someone get Elisabeth Haich’s “Initiation” into you:
it is likely that only part of the book will be important for you, but that part will likely be IMPORTANT.
The world her Soul 1st inhabited was something like 10,000y ago ( it hasn’t rained much there, since then ).
My Soul’s spent most of its time inhabiting insect-lives, or particularly-stupid-fish-with-bad-eyesight.
It’s been centuries since it had been in a human-category life ( the Catholicism I was pressed into, by mom, got nuked when I discovered those strange-memories were memories of my Soul’s having lived in other kinds of lives.
Not only did it nuke all the Abrahamic religions, but it forced me to accept that ALL lives are lives because they have a Soul underlying them, and there isn’t anything “special” about the life of a human, except for our Potential & our Opportunity, which most take for granted, including me, in my younger days ).
Anyways, you can’t unexist, from Eternity.
You’ll always have-been, see?
The Soul/CellOfGod who had you has YOU in it, indestructibly.
I’m earning removal of me-personality now ( should be days ), so the nervous-system currently having “me” can get that “me” ripped-out & can replace it with a better personality ( it’s a Buddhist technique, apparently nobody remembers it, in the modern version of Buddhism, for some reason ), so you can stack multiple personalities/someones into a single incarnation, to get-through multiple-lives of lessons/growing-up crammed into a single incarnation/life.
It works, but it takes work to force one’s own identity-death, or removal of the instance-of-ego underlying one’s personality…
There are 3 kinds of mind that death-itself has difficulty “gripping” on:
Wisdom-realizing-that-all-phenomena-are-empty-of-self-inherent-existence
immeasurable-compassion for all sentiences ( but tempered by wisdom )
Faithing, which is the simultaneous surrendering-to higher-power, relying-on higher-power, and gratitude-to higher-power.
Faithing on one’s own CellOfGod/Soul is perfectly find/workable.
It has BuddhaNature/GodNature, so all you have to do is orient to that aspect of its nature, and then faithing is powerful/valid, see?
Guru-yoga, is faithing.
“a faith”, ie noun, … isn’t what the original texts said, btw.
Anyways, I hope something in this helps, gives you leverage.
Either way, our Souls will meet again, after “us”, sooner-or-later…
Salut, Namaste, & Kaizen, Hoomin!
