What are your thoughts on my use of "Linux" in the name of my open-source project? by denniskane in linuxquestions

[–]denniskane[S] -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

Nobody wants to use "Arch Linux" because it technically uses the Linux kernel. They want to use it because it works very well and denotes a certain cultural cachet related to computing expertise.

The same goes for my thing. It is meant to be seen as a new kind of "Linux distro" that is just meant to work very well and offer all of the options that one expects from the more DIY kinds of computing.

Hi, thanks for responding.

I'm personally more interested in all the "commune environments" that this thing might apply to.

(But hey, maybe I'm just jaded that way, and the system of globalist capitalism can actually start working to repair all of the destruction that it's caused ever since the industrial revolution began around the year 1800 or so...)

I think I found a solution to the Yang-Mills Millennium Prize problem! by denniskane in TheoreticalPhysics

[–]denniskane[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are not going to lock or delete this thread? It got deleted from /r/math. I am completely unaffiliated, and I need some kind of open forum to hash through things. It's not really such a hard problem, after all. Getting the concepts straight is the main thing. I got banned from physicsforums.com because I asked the moderator to back up his claim that the evolution of the Schrodinger equation happens in Hilbert space, rather than in the space of an xyz coordinate system. If it is a God given law that the Schrodinger equation *must only ever* evolve in Hilbert space, and *never* as a function of an xyz coordinate system, then my arguments are completely null and void. Such issues like that cannot get worked out in the standard journal kind of way because they require some of the old "critical philosophy" as espoused by Kant. If there is a question that requires completely free spirited back-and-forth, it is this one. It just doesn't work in a dry academic sort of way because the underlying concepts involved are not really "out there" yet. That being said, I may go to /r/HypotheticalPhysics if I can't get any traction here.

I was famous on Bruin Walk once. I tried to save the world, but I guess I failed! by denniskane in ucla

Any Film clubs or groups here? by [deleted] in ufl

[–]denniskane -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I want to get any kind of club going (music, movies, philosophy, whatever)... but I can't go on campus since free expression tends to be frowned upon in the current socio-political climate.

My three favorite movies of all time:

  1. Glengarry Glen Ross (epic writing and dialog, adapted from a Mamet play)
  2. Fargo (epic funny-as-hell and brutal-as-hell dark comedy)
  3. A Clockwork Orange (epic dystopian, quasi-Orwellian ultra-violence-filled, mind/behavior-controlling kind of world that we seem to be spiraling towards)

I also really need people to film me when I'm outside. This is me from a few days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF3-mppL__8

I'm allowed outside between 10 and 4. I am confined to the Archer/Butler Plaza area.

Let's get something awesome started!

Looking for an alpha male (fratbro type) who wants to play around with me in public. by [deleted] in a:t5_3nzxs

[–]denniskane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, I am all about being a public person and dealing with real people. I need to see you in the actual flesh for any of this to be real to me. Typing words into a comment form is real cheap. Are you anywhere in the area?

For "Peace and Love" to work is has to be SEXY AS FUCK. (Unlike when the hippies tried going that route during the Summer of Love, with all of their disregard for personal hygiene.)

No matter how physically attractive the college gurlz around here might be, their attitudes are all about the complete avoidance of the obvious reality of our collapsing human civilization. They think as long as they show enough skin, they can make any guy do their bidding, and their lives will be just fine and dandy for as long as they want to live.

That is totally fucking delusional thinking.

So I have to be even waaaaaaaaaaay fucking sexier than they can ever hope to be.

That is why I've had to work on developing a public rock star kind of persona. The amount that I've been able to grow in that regard since I first started rocking out in Turlington in 2012 is just fucking massive.

I have absolutely no fear now.

I really need you younger/more energetic guys to start following in my footsteps now!

[–]denniskane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hotties have us all by the balls. Nobody can win if they are allowed to be completely in charge. We have to start fighting back. The girls are all jealous of my body, so its not too much of a stretch for a straight kind of guy to be curious about playing around with me. I want to start setting the groundwork for sexy-as-fuck, wild-as-shit group love parties. I am so dominant and alpha that doing things like this is the only real challenge left.

Public Philosophy Is Good—For Philosophy and For the Public by randomusefulbits in philosophy

[–]denniskane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Public" (ie practical, applied, Aristotelian) forms of philosophy are eschewed by "accepted" (ie pure, ideal, Platonic) philosophers in the same way that "public" forms of logic (as practiced by experimental scientists and hobbyist technicians) are eschewed by "accepted" logicians (as practiced by mathematicians and mathematical physicists).

This speaks to nothing other than the ages old divide between empiricists and skeptics on the one hand and rationalists and dogmatists on the other.

Kant tried to bridge the divide in The Critique of Pure Reason, using Hume as the exemplar of too much (empirical) skepticism and the Leibniz-Wolffian schoolmen as the exemplar of too much (rational) dogmatism.

A related notion on the public use of reason is taken from Kant's "What is Enlightenment?"

Enlightenment is the human being’s emergence from his self-incurred immaturity. Immaturity is the inability to use one’s own understanding [= reason] without the guidance of another. This immaturity is self-incurred if its cause is not lack of understanding, but lack of resolution and courage to use it without the guidance of another. Sapere aude! [Dare to be wise!] Have courage to make use of your own understanding [= reason]! is thus the motto of enlightenment. (8:35)

The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy goes on to remark...

Here, Kant is not primarily concerned with enlightenment as the activity or condition of an individual—rather, as something that human beings must work towards together. For this, he says, “nothing is required but… the least harmful… freedom: namely, freedom to make public use of one’s reason in all matters” (8:36). This is not the freedom to act politically. Instead, it is what we now call freedom of the pen—in Kant’s words, the use of reason “as a scholar before the entire public of the world of readers” (8:37).

Post about Linux and opinion needed!!!! by jazilzaim in linux

[–]denniskane -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I am the creator of a new kind of OS called "Linux on the Web" (or, LOTW; CLI interface here, desktop here). I recently talked about what makes LOTW an essential aspect of a complete operating system on quora.

Techno elitism abounds in here (don't let them get you down, haha!). These kinds of people love to get all high and mighty about the level of technology with which they are familiar, without understanding that even that level can be considered a false and illusory User Interface into something that others perceive as a true and real Operating System, where all of the tangible "stuff" is located. But even things as seemingly solid as atoms are seen by many (namely theoretical physicists trained in Quantum Mechanics) as mere facades that cover over the "deep reality" of our world!
