Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong.
Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names".
For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy.
In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system".
But they're not. They can't be the justice system.
The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve.
Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you?
No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system.
The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe.
If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse.
In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite.
Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat.
We all understand this.
We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act.
Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to.
We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again.
And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again.
The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you.
Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute.
It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.
🚨 Screen Studio charges $89 for this. Someone open sourced the entire thing for free.
It's called OpenScreen. 8,400+ GitHub stars.
You record your screen. It automatically transforms it into a polished, professional demo video.
Auto-zoom into clicks. Smooth cursor animations. Motion blur. Custom backgrounds with wallpapers, gradients, and shadows. Webcam overlays. Annotations. Timeline editing. Export in any aspect ratio.
The exact workflow that Screen Studio sells for $89 and Loom sells as a subscription. Free. No watermarks. No accounts. No subscriptions.
Here's what you get out of the box:
→ Full screen or window capture with system audio and mic
→ Automatic zoom that follows your cursor and clicks
→ Manual zoom with customizable depth and timing
→ Smooth motion blur on pan and zoom transitions
→ Animated cursor rendering with motion effects
→ Webcam bubble overlay with drag-and-drop positioning
→ Wallpapers, solid colors, gradients, or custom backgrounds
→ Text and arrow annotations layered over recordings
→ Timeline trimming and variable speed segments
→ Crop, resize, and export in any resolution or aspect ratio
→ Save and reopen projects anytime
Here's the wildest part:
A developer forked it and built an even more advanced version called Recordly. Full cursor animation pipeline. Native macOS and Windows recording. Zoom behavior that mirrors Screen Studio frame-for-frame. Audio tracks. Webcam overlays with zoom-reactive scaling.
Both are free. Both are MIT licensed. Both work on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Download. Record. Export. Done.
100% Open Source. MIT License.

you sound like a troll. straw man fallacy and inability to think from first principles.
literally every average joe understand the concept of why small blocks are important if you explain that in simple words, and the fact that you are trying to spin that as something shady makes you look like a bad actor leveraging a new narrative.
