"Waswas al-khannas" (look it up)

No one's going to look it up.

You've been ridiculed for your obsession with genetics going back decades, even by your own countrymen on multiple Somali chat boards.

You're both an incel (involuntary celibate) and incol (involuntary colored).

You are one fucked up little brown dude.

He wanted to bring computing back to where one man can understand the entirety of the platform he's operating on like the c64 days back in the 80s. There's something to be said for that. If everyone started learning on this sort of a system they wouldn't make the poor design choices they end up making later on.

From a purely technical standpoint he wasn't necessarily wrong in some ways.

The way it’s going isn’t good, you are mocked for knowing anything at all. You won’t even be able to run CMD or shell languages soon, anything backend will be hidden and locked. It will be like how nobody knows what to do under the hood of new cars now.

I agree but unfortunately It's not even just proprietary issues, free software is also plagued with stupid decisions that are upheld by cultists. The main problem Terry was addressing was the issue of overcomplexity. Even if a modern system is completely open it's impossible to know it in total, in such a situation the user will inevitably become the used.

Fuck it! I'll give an abriged thesis from when I tried to patent heaven & hell.

With the likes of neuralink & the metaverse, literal heaven & hell could be imposed on an artificially connected person. People are already talking about pleasurable things which via synaptic connections could create a somatically realistic feeling.
By changing rates of thinking / time perception via same connections & control, people could feel like they realistically were in that place for 1000s of years or even more.

Hell; the converse would also be possible, to create a feeling like someone was burning in a lake of fire, with their skin regrowing & being burned-off again, with artificially altered time perception making it feel like infinity.

The fact that it's imposed would make the "heaven" a hell itself, Potster
