  {% blocktrans %}I'm crazy about trains. My grandfather is a retired train

  operator, and from there I got passed on a certain love for these
60
64
  machines.<br />
61
65
  I see trains as thé solution for transportation of both passengers (day) and
62
66
  cargo (night). They're fast, convenient, large, all that while being
63
67
  ecologically only second to bicycles for transportation, and the all-out #1
64
68
  choice for public transport (provided it's reasonably used). In Europe, I hope
65
69
  that air travel will be replaced by HST travel, which would allow a lot of
66
70
  people to travel the continent easily, affordable, and ecological. Trains are amazing!<br />

  cannabis is sometimes used for medical purposes (which I would do as well

        <li>In addition to my poor social skills, I am also a very bad speaker;

265
            very hard time voicing my opinion in a convincing manner, even on

266
            issues that I (think I) understand very well. I would like to inform
+
267
            people, but if I can't talk in a convincing way, I might do more
+
268
            harm than good, so I try to avoid "live debating".</li>
+
269
        <li>Politics can be a sensitive topic. While I'd love to talk about
+
270
            sensitive issues with my friends, I don't know if the reverse is
+
271
            true, and I do not want to look annoying to be friends with.
+
272
            Therefore I try to refrain from bringing up political

273
            discussions myself. However, if one of my friends were to bring it

274
            up, I will gladly partake, because I take that as a sign that there

275
            is some mutual interest.</li>
+
276
        <li>I have a website on which I can talk at length and in detail about

277
            these things. This also offers an easy "getaway" for friends, but

278
            also other people; they can decide for themselves whether they want

291
380
    trace what I see, what I do, what I surf to on the internet, and use that

    Because I oppose this practice, I block these scripts,

296
385
    There's a small annoyance to this (but I don't mind that): Some websites require some scripts to
297
386
    operate at all; therefore I have to manually pick for these websites what
298
387
    scripts to allow and which to block. The fact that these websites are
299
388
    erroneously built (i.e. they can't work without client code scripts)
300
389
    is annoying, but I don't really care that much: For some websites, that's worth it.
301
390
    For others, I don't bother and I don't read what's on them.<br />
302
391
    However, as a practical advantage, blocking so many scripts means my browsing
303
392
    is much better (which partly offsets the speed deficit caused by using Tor):
304
393
    A lot of websites load within a second for me, whereas with
305
394
    unblocked tracking, it takes easily 5-10 seconds before some webpages are
306
395
    fully loaded in. Additionally, the page gets sprinkled with ugly bars,
307
396
    elements pop in randomly and shift the page layout in grotesque ways,
308
397
    (a)social media buttons left and right, and often a popup regarding their
309
398
    use of cookies, which blocks what I want to do in the first place. What a
310
399
    terrible state of affairs!<br />
311
400
    If you think the increase in speed, security, and safety while browsing is
312

    totally worth clicking "Allow this script" every once in a while, then I

    being an activist; most likely you're studying, or working a career, taking
18

    care of friends and/or family. You don't have time for activism. At best,

        or why it would matter more than what you're currently doing. There are
26

        enough other people that profess that already, and I personally don't
27
27
        think it helps activism a lot. Besides, lots of people already do things

        because they assume it helps. Look at recycling, blood donations, organ
29

        transplants (especially altruistic donations), child adoption, and so on.

36
36
        people really want to make a change, but don't see it as viable for their
37
37
        life. Or they're not sure what to do. Here, I present a list of causes
38
38
        and activities I believe can make the world a better place for everyone.
39
39
        It's also important to remember that nobody can do everything, plenty of
40
40
        valid reasons why that's the case. Maybe you think that organic farming
41
41
        is better for the environment, but you still buy non-organic food because
42
42
        you can't afford the higher price. But that doesn't mean that partaking
43
43
        in activism is hypocritical by default (which is a reasoning that somebody actually
44
44
        used in a debate about activism with me). On this page, you find causes
45
45
        I believe in, that you can donate to, or small things you can do in your
46
46
        daily life that help that. You won't find the general calls to action here
47
47
        like "You should vote" and "Recycle as much as possible",
48
48
        I assume most people already see those often enough. I target more specific and
49
49
        fewer mentioned points. For some things, I propose certain replacements
50
50
        to "ease" taking on an cause without disrupting your life radically.
51
51
        (Like vegetarianism; it's a good thing, really, but replacing ⅓ of most
52
52
        people's daily diets is too radical for most people to do anyway.)

124
124
	Let's ignore the fact that saying seven billion people is "not too
125
125
	much" is (at least) remarkable. First, for a lot of people, a more
126
126
	"sustainable" lifestyle is simply too hard to accomplish. The more
127
127
	people there are, the less resources available for everyone. Lowering
128
128
	the population directly implies that everyone's lifestyle becomes
129
129
	automatically more sustainable, and requires practically no difficult
130
130
	intervention.<br />
131
131
	Also, this statement prepositions that there's enough resources for
132
132
	everyone. This is ignorant; if everyone lived in a decent way, we'd need
133
133
	at least 2.5 Earths just to keep up. Currently, the disgusting way
134
134
	people in third world countries have to live can't even offset a way of
135
135
	living humanely.<br />
136
136
	Finally, the climate mayhem has already started, and its consequences are
137
137
	already happening. Even assuming that 7 billion people is not too much,
138
138
	getting them all to live sustainable will take way longer than simply
139
139
	reducing the population, and we can't afford any delay.<br />

167
168
    Also, jobs that have struggle with constant shortage of workforce (like school teachers)

169
    will see this problem gradually disappear.

    Of course, global heating already puts economies across the planet

    it is true that

    mathematics has undoubtedly close connections with digits and numbers, but
441
496
    calling the whole study by that name does not take into account all the

497
    other fields that mathematics encompasses, most of which don't even really
443
498
    need numbers at all to exist. We understand that and call it by its proper

499
    name, so as to avoid reducing it to a portion of it that's very visible in

520
576
	this on one louzy afternoon.
521
577
	Eventually, I have created a general rule I named: "The protection of human
522
578
	rights and the moral integrity of their limitations". In full detail,
523
579
	the rule is as follows:
524
580
		<quote>
525
581
			All humans are entitled to human rights at every point in their
526
582
			lives, in all contexts.
527
583
			Being rights, they do not require justification to exercise
528
584
			them, and can be applied in the broadest terms possible.
529
585
			Should there be an entity looking to restrict those rights, the
530
586
			burden of justification falls on that entity; it must provide a
531
587
			valid reasoning as to why a restriction needs to be put in
532
588
			place. The people that the restriction applies to (and <em>ónly</em>
533
589
			those people) shall decide on the validity, not the
534
590
			entity arguing in favour of it. Should said entity fail to provide
535
591
			valid justification, the restrictions that follow (for 
536
592
			example: laws or contract terms) are implicitely
537
593
			<em>void ab initio</em>, because their existence lacks any ground to
538
594
		    be morally enforceable. It follows that every violation of, and
539
595
			resistance against said
540
596
			restrictions is (by default) morally justified. The entity
541
597
			responsible for putting the restriction in place, <em>ánd</em> those
542
598
			that enforce these restrictions, remain guilty of a human rights
543
599
			violation and must be prosecuted as if the restriction didn't exist.
544
600
			Because of the moral void, it cannot escape prosecution by invoking
545
601
			<em>nulla poena sine lege</em> (i.e. "It wasn't prohibited to do
546
602
			so"). The burden of providing compensation for the damage inflicted
547
603
			by humans violating the restrictions falls on the imposing entity.
548
604
			Should the entity not be a natural person (for example: a company or
549
605
			authoritative body like a government), the people responsible of
550
606
			that entity are accountable. Whether others that served that entity
551
607
			(or were conscripted in doing so) handled in bad faith is to be
552
608
			decided on a per-case basis.
553

554
610
		The rule has vast implications that secure our integrity as humans, and
555
611
		the rights that come with being on this planet. It pardons Edward
556
612
		Snowden. It makes politicians that deny climate mayhem responsible for the
557
613
		damage. It opens a path to prosecute Apple for violating our digital
558
614
		rights. In general: <strong>It stops using legislature as an excuse for
559
615
		moral accountability.</strong>
560
616
561
617
		The lack of strictness is key; cultures and people change, and so do our
562
618
		morals. Building a coal plant during the industrial revolution was
563
619
		understandable, but today it conflicts with our right to live because we
564
620
		know coal plants accelerate the climate mayhem. Sabotaging the
565
621
		construction is now morally right, it wasn't in 1800. This is just an
566
622
		example, but there are many more.
567
623
568
624
		I don't seek for everyone to use my rule as a justification for total
569
625
		anarchy. I do want to provide a reasoning that allows us to
570
626
		My rule doesn't discredit the existence of a state with laws and justice
571
627
		system, rather, it works with it. It also strengthens their power where
572
628
		it should, and diminishes the extent to which power can be abused,
573
629
		because my rule functions as a deterrent to do so (for example: If
574
630
		there's a law allowing you to kill homosexuals on sight, and you try to
575
631
		do so, you can expect people trying to shoot you to defend that
576
632
		homosexual's right to live).
577
633
578
634
		I think humanity is ready for more democratic oversight and
579
635
		transparency, especially in the European Union.
580

		{% comment %}
582
638
		You might argue that you could infer a validation for absolute
583
639
		anarchy from this
584
640
		rule, but that's not right. What it does, is give the power to the
585
641
		democracy to decide whether doing
586
642
		something is right or wrong, holding others accountable for the powers
587
643
		they have, without being able to abuse legislature to escape moral
588
644
		accountability.

    I've written about this in a blog post, but I have to put it here as well,
+
651
    in detail:
+
652
    One form of activism is to refuse to pay with payment cards. Always insist
+
653
    on being able to pay with cash!</p>
+
654
<p> Banks love to talk about the convenience and safety of paying digitally,
+
655
    without really delving into what those points are for <em>us</em>, the
+
656
    client. I'll be going over some points to convince you to stop using the
+
657
    digital payments, and pay the actually safe way.{% endblocktrans %}</p>
+
658
<h4>{% trans "The safety myth debunked" %}</h4>
+
659
<p>{% blocktrans %}
+
660
    So what's about digital payments being "safe"? When probing further, you'll
+
661
    often get the same two answers:<p>
+
662
    <ul><li>You won't lose much money when you get pickpocketed.</li>
+
663
        <li>You don't risk accepting counterfeit money.</li>
+
664
    </ul>
+
665
+
666
+
667
    <p>The risk of EVER accepting a counterfeit note is so small it's almost
+
668
        ridiculous to even mention it. Consider all these security marks (for €
+
669
        bank notes) that
+
670
        would have to pass:</p>
+
671
    <ul><li>Optical changing ink when you tilt a bank note</li>
+
672
        <li>Paper created from cotton fiber, which has a distinct feeling</li>
+
673
        <li>Watermark on every note, clearly visible with some light</li>
+
674
        <li>Safety wire straight through the middle of the note</li>
+
675
        <li>Foil with hologram over each note</li>
+
676
        <li>Raised printing to give each note a relief</li>
+
677
        <li>The logo in the hologram is transparent</li></ul>
+
678
    <p>And those are just the safety features you can directly see! Consider
+
679
        these <strong>extra security features</strong> that you can also check
+
680
        with enough detail (or a checking device):</p>
+
681
    <ul><li>All notes have microprinting that becomes unreadable with any normal
+
682
            printer, but can easily be read by looking closely..</li>
+
683
        <li>Shining UV light on the note will make certain parts light up, like
+
684
            the stars and circles. This also happens on the back, where green
+
685
            and red light will be emitted.</li>
+
686
        <li>With infrared light, the emerald number, the right side of the main
+
687
            image, and the silvery stript become visible. But only on the front;
+
688
            on the back, only the denomination and the horizontal number are visible.</li>
+
689
        <li>With special UV-C light (yes, that's a thing), the same parts light
+
690
            up, but in distinct green and red colours. Also, the € sign becomes
+
691
            visible in the main image, but is hidden in normal UV light.</li>
+
692
        <li>The serial code on every note is a checksum, meaning that you can
+
693
            check the code itself to see if the note is valid or not.</li></ul>
+
694
    <p>And all those were just the security features of the bank notes
+
695
        themselves! Here are some extras to convince you of the safety of using
+
696
        euros as cash:</p>
+
697
        <ul><li>Reproducing a note with a normal printer is often blocked by 
+
698
            printer firmware.</li>
+
699
            <li>Any reproduced note (for example in movies) needs to obey strict
+
700
                rules, that they render each "legal" counterfeit note completely
+
701
                useless for monetization.</li>
+
702
            <li>The European Union has so much trust in the security of its
+
703
                currency that you
+
704
                can download images of euro bank notes directly from their own
+
705
                website<insert link!>. For high resolution ones, you can send a
+
706
                letter, and after some security and confidentiality checks you
+
707
                can get those as well.</li></ul>
+
708
    <p>But maybe you think that all this is just peanuts for real
+
709
        counterfeiters (it isn't), or you're just thát paranoid. Okay, let's
+
710
        assume your level of paranoia is justified. In that case, I have a
+
711
        really interesting argument that will surely convince you to switch to
+
712
        cash forever:{% endblocktrans %}</p>
+
713
    <h4>{% trans "Digital payments infringe on your privacy" %}</h4>
+

+
717
        Yeah, turns out that "safety" is not so much a myth after all, but is
+
718
        related to the bank's safety by keeping your money from you, and making
+
719
        bank on it in the process.

738
    companies don't actually hire their "employees". They say they're

739
    "subcontractors", and make them use their own resources (like their car) to

740
    do the work. These companies malicously portray this as "sharing", and
+
741
    proclaim they're just the facilitators, thus making them part of the
+
742
    "sharing economy". This is spin.<br />
+
743
    First, "sharing" is something you do in a personal setting, without any
+
744
    commercial interests. People do this because it's in our nature to share
+
745
        resources between each other, it's a good thing to do. A well known

746
        example is carpooling, where different people share the same car.<br />
