The US Pirate Party answers to the question "Do you support digital piracy?" in its FAQ the following:
>We do not think that calling the sharing of digital media “piracy” or “theft” is the correct way of looking at the issue. The free, open access to media that “pirate” sites provide is valuable to society in the way that public libraries are, and it’s a problem that they are against the law. The Pirate Party affirms that current copyright law is not good for the public or for creative professionals, and only actually benefits a small minority of corporate executives. We support reforms to copyright law which legalize the freedom to share, while more effectively helping creative professionals make a living.
What is your opinion on this point of view? Is copyright law as it is today good and right? Do you think sharing copyrighted content is morally wrong? I have to say I mostly agree with them. From my perspective, internet "piracy" is a victimless crime. As you can create an infinite amount of digital copies, nothing is lost or "stolen" on the creators' side.

Germans, is the chaos Heidegger talks about the same chaos referenced in chaos theory etc?
>Hier ist die Grunderfahrung der Welt als »Chaos« verwurzelt. Sofern aber der Leib für Nietzsche ein Herrschaftsgebilde ist, kann »Chaos« nicht das wüste Durcheinander meinen, sondern die Verborgenheit des unbewältigten Reichtums des Werdens und Strömens der Welt im Ganzen. Der überall naheliegende Verdacht auf einen Biologismus scheint dadurch seine eindeutige und volle Bestätigung zu finden.” (I, p. 510) #Heidegger #Nietzsche #Chaos #Leib
I don't think so.
Should I buy an artificial pot plant and put LEDs in there and use it like a Christmas tree kind of lamp?
If I put the LEDs under the leaves I might get some really cool shadows at my rooms walls.

I've been brainwashed by protestant culture to think alcohol is evil. In fact there's nothing wrong with moderate drinking. Binge drinking just gave me a really bad impression.
