schestowitz__No, I don't see it like that. Lets compare Microsoft and GNU: both are based in the US, and have offices and influence worldwide.Jul 05 21:53
schestowitz__Both are developed outside the US as well, but I think that the core and most important development of Microsoft software is in the US for (national) security and intellectual property reasons, and GNU/Linux has a lot of big contributors outside the US.Jul 05 21:53
schestowitz__Also, Microsoft is willing to help and cannot refuse the US government will, while GNU/Linux does as demonstrated by Debian placing servers in Canada and elsewere to circunmvent US encryption export restrictions.Jul 05 21:53

schestowitz__"So, an economic system run by unethical people self destructs and everyone loses. Ethics and profit go hand in hand. You have demonstrated the point. Our laws and business leaders must understand and apply this for their own selfish interest - to have a stable and just society."Jul 11 06:00
schestowitz__"Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__On the contrary. The motives are all wrong. The entire foundation of an economic system of exchange rests on a presumption that cooperation is not good enough; that we can not trust each other not to be freeloaders; that in an exchange, each participant is equally capable of protecting his/her own interest before agreeing to participate.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__The fact of social inequality means that participants are not equally able to protect their own interests. The fact of social inequality means that the positive (destabilizing) feedback that worsens social inequality is intrinsic to such a system.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__The attitude of distrust towards ones fellow human that pervades such a system intrinsically means a negative, anti-empathetic, anti-altruistic view. It practically demands that one focus and act on one's own self-interest.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__And self-interest is the opposite of ethics. Because ethics is how we get along with each other. Which means that an economic system of exchange contains a profound contradiction between protecting one's own interest and acting in the interest of one's counterpart and of society and the planet as a whole.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__The result is cognitive dissonance and the very behavior you agree is criminal.Jul 11 06:01

schestowitz__"Surely if I understand the tragedy of the commons, I understand that ethical behavior means protecting the commons for everyone?"Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__"Sure, but the difficulty in the Tragedy of the Commons is that the sheep were privately owned. Self-interest, again self-interest, collided with cooperation. And this, in an era, which, at least as I understand Peter Kropotkin's account, was much more cooperatively-minded than the one we have today."Jul 11 06:01

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: The bloodbath in #gaza helps two main sectors in #israel : it helps market & sell Iron Dome (e.g. to India) and #drones for a huge profitJul 12 18:20
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:20
schestowitz@sfb Concerning your first question. I don't know whether you would agree, but as I see it, both Hamas and Israel have the potential to escalate or de-escalate the situation. Before the upsurge of rockets from Gaza, it has been shelled for 13 consecutive nights straight. I consider this a measure of escalation from the Israeli side. The bill of escalation for Israel is, more Qassam rockets being shot a it. More Qassam rockets in Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzturn means more battle-testing of the IronDome system (which is not mounted on drones or anything), which increases its market value. Now, it may sound radical to counter the "Israel retaliates"-narrative and suggest that Israel would use Gaza as a testing field for e.g. its IronDome system. Yet, for the right-wing government of Israel it would seem to be a good deal. Why?Jul 12 18:20
schestowitz1) Fear. The is the main currency to buy political power for right-wing parties around the world. 2) A Qassam (or M75,...) that failed to get intercepted won't hurt much. The current batch of Qassam are built for range and not for destruction. The idea is, the farther these Qassams strike the more Israelis will feel that they could be a victim too. Classic terrorism, the instilling of fear aka terror, is the objective. Range is Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzbeing bought in by sacrificing its explosive fire-power. Look at the IDF twitter feed or blog, they post many pictures of Qassams that hit Israel. None caused a bigger crater than 1-1,5m in diameter. Clearly, most projectiles - unlike in the past - didn't even carry a warhead. Qassams fall out of the sky like a very fast piece of metal. That still can be dangerous, but the actual threat is very limited. The fact that by now 700+ Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzQassam rockets didn't claim a single casualty underlines that.Jul 12 18:20

schestowitz"Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz@stefan: so you are basically saying it's the israelis own fault (quote: The bill of escalation for Israel is, more Qassam rockets being shot a it.) and they even make a profit of it (quote: More Qassam rockets in turn means more battle-testing of the IronDome system) which somehow implies the israelis could quite happy with the shellings since it increases the marketvalue of their products.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzThe only active party in your narrative are the israelis whereas the palestinians merely react. This is quite a paternal (western) perspective.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzLikewise it seems that this narrative tends to blackbox the history of the conflict. What is always is the result of what was.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzThe palestinian people are a gambling stone. But the game is not only played by israel. Look for who is backing Hamas and who Fatah. See how cohesion between sunni and shia politics is produced by displaying solidarity for the palestinian people. Look how little is done to actually help them from the very same people.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzI'm not a big fan of Bibi. But for many israelis what happend after the withdrawal from Gaza is quite dissapointing.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:22
schestowitz@sfb Thanks for formulating a coherent argument, I really appreciate that. I sometimes feel that only few seem capable of this when the matter touches the Palestinian-Arab-Israeli conflict..Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzAs for your comments, I'm not speaking about the Israelis. Israelis as sure as hell are not happy about the rockets. I am talking about the current right-wing government, which I in fact see as the main - but certainly not sole - responsible in this months escalation. If you ask qui bono? it is the right-wing government of Israel, which politically profits. This profit comes on the cost of a great bloodshed in Gaza, but also on the Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzcost of scaring and putting its own population at bigger risk.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzI have to agree with your charge, that I mainly focus on Israel's actions, and less on Hamas'. You are probably right that this is paternal and possibly old-school orientalist (yes yes, the "female orient to be penetrated by the occident"-discourse). Yet, I did so, as it is on the side of Israel where power and force aggregates. Pointing out Hamas' misdeeds at this point (and there are a great many of them) with a current death Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzexchange rate of 120+ : 0 (at the time of writing) would feel like "blaming-the-victim". Still, I agree, reality is more complex than that.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzAs for the history of the conflict, I'm not blackboxing it out, I am actually very aware of it. Still, when it comes to accountability of the actions of the involved parties in the here and now, one cannot "smoke-screen it away" with history. This particular exchange started with kidnapping and killing of the three Israeli teens by what seems a rogue cell with Hamas-affiliations. I don't think it needs the further invocation of Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzhistory to discuss this. It may be helpful here and there, but for screen-ink's sake not fully necessary.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzFinally, I like your gambling stone metaphor. Sadly, this game has many players. One could extend your list even much much further. Fisk's "The Great War for Civilisation" gives an intriguing, passionate rendition of this.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzThe Gaza withdrawal would be whole another chapter. I rather not open it now as I have already written way too much ;)Jul 12 18:22

Our laws and business leaders must understand and apply this for their own selfish interest - to have a stable and just society."Jul 11 06:00
schestowitz__"Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__On the contrary. The motives are all wrong. The entire foundation of an economic system of exchange rests on a presumption that cooperation is not good enough; that we can not trust each other not to be freeloaders; that in an exchange, each participant is equally capable of protecting his/her own interest before agreeing to participate.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__The fact of social inequality means that participants are not equally able to protect their own interests. The fact of social inequality means that the positive (destabilizing) feedback that worsens social inequality is intrinsic to such a system.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__The attitude of distrust towards ones fellow human that pervades such a system intrinsically means a negative, anti-empathetic, anti-altruistic view. It practically demands that one focus and act on one's own self-interest.Jul 11 06:01
schestowitz__And self-interest is the opposite of ethics. Because ethics is how we get along with each other. Which means that an economic system of exchange contains a profound contradiction between protecting one's own interest and acting in the interest of one's counterpart and of society and the planet as a whole.Jul 11 06:01

-TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-@schestowitz@joindiaspora.com: The bloodbath in #gaza helps two main sectors in #israel : it helps market & sell Iron Dome (e.g. to India) and #drones for a huge profitJul 12 18:20
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:20
schestowitz@sfb Concerning your first question. I don't know whether you would agree, but as I see it, both Hamas and Israel have the potential to escalate or de-escalate the situation. Before the upsurge of rockets from Gaza, it has been shelled for 13 consecutive nights straight. I consider this a measure of escalation from the Israeli side. The bill of escalation for Israel is, more Qassam rockets being shot a it. More Qassam rockets in Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzturn means more battle-testing of the IronDome system (which is not mounted on drones or anything), which increases its market value. Now, it may sound radical to counter the "Israel retaliates"-narrative and suggest that Israel would use Gaza as a testing field for e.g. its IronDome system. Yet, for the right-wing government of Israel it would seem to be a good deal. Why?Jul 12 18:20
schestowitz1) Fear. The is the main currency to buy political power for right-wing parties around the world. 2) A Qassam (or M75,...) that failed to get intercepted won't hurt much. The current batch of Qassam are built for range and not for destruction. The idea is, the farther these Qassams strike the more Israelis will feel that they could be a victim too. Classic terrorism, the instilling of fear aka terror, is the objective. Range is Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzbeing bought in by sacrificing its explosive fire-power. Look at the IDF twitter feed or blog, they post many pictures of Qassams that hit Israel. None caused a bigger crater than 1-1,5m in diameter. Clearly, most projectiles - unlike in the past - didn't even carry a warhead. Qassams fall out of the sky like a very fast piece of metal. That still can be dangerous, but the actual threat is very limited. The fact that by now 700+ Jul 12 18:20
schestowitzQassam rockets didn't claim a single casualty underlines that.Jul 12 18:21

schestowitz"Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz@stefan: so you are basically saying it's the israelis own fault (quote: The bill of escalation for Israel is, more Qassam rockets being shot a it.) and they even make a profit of it (quote: More Qassam rockets in turn means more battle-testing of the IronDome system) which somehow implies the israelis could quite happy with the shellings since it increases the marketvalue of their products.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzThe only active party in your narrative are the israelis whereas the palestinians merely react. This is quite a paternal (western) perspective.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzLikewise it seems that this narrative tends to blackbox the history of the conflict. What is always is the result of what was.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzThe palestinian people are a gambling stone. But the game is not only played by israel. Look for who is backing Hamas and who Fatah. See how cohesion between sunni and shia politics is produced by displaying solidarity for the palestinian people. Look how little is done to actually help them from the very same people.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitzI'm not a big fan of Bibi. But for many israelis what happend after the withdrawal from Gaza is quite dissapointing.Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:21
schestowitz"Jul 12 18:22
schestowitz@sfb Thanks for formulating a coherent argument, I really appreciate that. I sometimes feel that only few seem capable of this when the matter touches the Palestinian-Arab-Israeli conflict..Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzAs for your comments, I'm not speaking about the Israelis. Israelis as sure as hell are not happy about the rockets. I am talking about the current right-wing government, which I in fact see as the main - but certainly not sole - responsible in this months escalation. If you ask qui bono? it is the right-wing government of Israel, which politically profits. This profit comes on the cost of a great bloodshed in Gaza, but also on the Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzcost of scaring and putting its own population at bigger risk.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzI have to agree with your charge, that I mainly focus on Israel's actions, and less on Hamas'. You are probably right that this is paternal and possibly old-school orientalist (yes yes, the "female orient to be penetrated by the occident"-discourse). Yet, I did so, as it is on the side of Israel where power and force aggregates. Pointing out Hamas' misdeeds at this point (and there are a great many of them) with a current death Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzexchange rate of 120+ : 0 (at the time of writing) would feel like "blaming-the-victim". Still, I agree, reality is more complex than that.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzAs for the history of the conflict, I'm not blackboxing it out, I am actually very aware of it. Still, when it comes to accountability of the actions of the involved parties in the here and now, one cannot "smoke-screen it away" with history. This particular exchange started with kidnapping and killing of the three Israeli teens by what seems a rogue cell with Hamas-affiliations. I don't think it needs the further invocation of Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzhistory to discuss this. It may be helpful here and there, but for screen-ink's sake not fully necessary.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzFinally, I like your gambling stone metaphor. Sadly, this game has many players. One could extend your list even much much further. Fisk's "The Great War for Civilisation" gives an intriguing, passionate rendition of this.Jul 12 18:22
schestowitzThe Gaza withdrawal would be whole another chapter. I rather not open it now as I have already written way too much ;)Jul 12 18:22
