Sinners and tax collectors

Mark 2:16–17:

When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him [Jesus] eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”

On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Based Jesus. Taxation is evil.

The EU superstate

Tomorrow, European Parliament members will vote on whether they want to turn the EU into a centralised superstate.

Hardly anybody knows about this. dEmOcRaCy at its finest.

The blood must flow

A part cannot heal itself if it does not have enough blood flow.

Arterial supremacy.

It QWACs like a duck

It looks like chatcontrol was called off.

But the EU still lusts for new surveillance powers (duh). It now wants to force browsers to use state-issued QWACs—lower-security web certificates which will potentially allow it to fully monitor web traffic.

I reckon that good open-source browsers will not put government above user. But article 45 of the eIDAS regulation should be stopped regardless.

The flow state

The flow state is magical. Protect it.

Ward off distractions.

At what cost?

I too want to reach certain objectives, but not at all costs. I see vectors to follow, not specific points to land on (they don’t even exist, since everything oscillates).

“At what cost?” is a fundamental question. A Pyrrhic victory is no victory at all.
