Ways to start-over with our Political Regimes?

Dedicated to Thomas Drake, Edward Snowden and all those who’ve risked their lives, defending the truth & morality.

Dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz.

Also dedicated to the memory of Aaron Swartz.

Few months ago I watched this awe-inspiring video of Thomas Drake, the so-called ‘whistle-blower’ [ formerly a  Chief Executive on the NSA ] in some US classified case regarding post 9/11 actions taken by the government.

A little probe into the Facebook spam “Add plugin to update your browser”

——————————————  DISCLAIMER  —————————————————-

this research might contain sensitive data. Since all data has been exposed by the hacker, I take no responsibility, whatsoever for any kind of data. It was already publicly available.

Also, if some of my findings are wrong, it might be just be the case. I did this for the first time, was half asleep , and excited about my findings.

I am a student, and have nothing to hide (as a hacker). This was purely a research based chase up & academically driven curiosity. I never hosted any illegal data/code, never executed the script and never contacted anyone, whomsoever, may  have been involved in this spam.

If you feel some terms have been used inappropriately, please leave a reply, and I’ll correct them after reviewing the suggestion myself.

 

A note to the Frankenstein:

Hey hacker – Sorry for this (if you shall ever read it) But you just spammed through my friend’s account. And I was equally vulnerable. I was tagged on the fb post and then i found all this crap you made. Go find some clean methods of making money.
And you know what, It is my friend’s birthday today. And he had to apologize to all those tagged ( by all, i mean, a lot of people, he has more than 1000 friends ! )
So, deal with it.  I don’t know about the end results, but, you scoundrel ! burn.

*Pssss! hey friend, why you no have 10,000 friends? 😀

The System of entitlement to credit for a breakthrough
What is the degree/extent of the decision criteria, as to who all are entitled to receive a due credit for an invention/discovery/breakthrough?
Here’s a statement – Every matter in this world is related to one another. Our actions affect the very presence of another life-form;
“..it is not uncommon for one philosopher to accuse another’s arguments of entailing solipsism as an unwanted consequence, in a kind of reductio ad absurdum..” #metaphysics

The World – is your oyster?

EDIT (4 years later): I’ve had it with these thoughts I’ve expressed in the post below. When I pinned them down, I think I might’ve been confined in my head space for far too long. Amazes me at how much time I’d while away at something I can’t do much about and the answers to which, I guess we would find out in a few decades anyway 😉 Onwards. Peace out. _\//

CAUTION: These thoughts have killed some very delightful moments of my past. Read at your own risk, for they might hurt your head 🙂

Some call the philosophers crazy; Others.. well they are fellow philosophers.
