bluesky74656's Journal: Hi, and School

Well, I've managed to get most of my friends on /., so I might as well start using the journal. A shout-out goes to rLobster and Qeto9876, and if anyone else I know has an account, comment.

Anyway, in school today I was sitting in French class, not paying attention to anything, really, and I realized that this year I've never really paid attention to anything in that class. So much of that class is repetition of repetition of repetition, it makes my head spin. Or makes me want to play Mario, one of the two. In contrast, today in H. Chemistry we learned about quantum mechanics. Mrs. Mack had my attention all through class, even though she was just giving notes that were displayed on the overhead. I think I was so interested only because it was a topic I was interested in, but didn't know much about. In the end, I guess 'tis our lot in life to suffer through the mindless bore that is the modern education system. I'll finish with a quote from "The Hacker's Manifesto"

"...we've been spoon-fed baby food at school when we hungered for steak... the bits of meat that you did let slip through were pre-chewed and tasteless. We've been dominated by sadists, or ignored by the apathetic. the few taht had somethign to teach found us willing pupils, but those few are like drops of water in the desert."

Hacker's Manifesto

[rLobster]

I entirely agree with that quote from "Hacker's Manifesto." So what is it, and where can I find it? In school, we're raped in our youth from ignorance. The standards in not only our school, our entire country are desperately and appallingly low. THe rest of the world only bends to us because of our spirit and nationalism, but how long can pure untiy sustain us? Before long, we will die from ourselves, from the Roman Empire.

What is the premise of "The Hacker's Manifesto?"

A copy of the Hacker's Manifesto, a.k.a. "The Conscience of a Hacker," can be found here [phrack.com].
I have a copy hanging in my room.
