Hi Richard, how do you do?
recently I had translated your note about
Steve Jobs pass away to Persian. I have one question: what did you meant
by fool in "Steve Jobs, the pioneer of the computer as a jail made
cool, designed to sever fools from their freedom, has died." . you mean
users whom are stupid or whom that does not know his or her rights with
using software?
please make some clearance here because this misunderstanding is causing
a lot of negative hits on free software community. you can read the
post
here. (but of course it's in Persian)
Thank you very much
kind regards :)
A "fool" is someone who lacks wisdom. It is not the same as being
stupid. Being stupid means lacking intelligence or cleverness. A
fool can be smart, and a person who is not clever might not be
foolish.
For instance, a person who calculates mathematically whether he can
afford to repay a second mortgage on his house may be very smart and
clever about how he calculates it, but he is foolish to consider the
idea.
I think that anyone who gives up his freedom for the attractions
of an iBad is foolish.
please make some clearance here because this misunderstanding is causing a
lot of negative hits on free software community.
These people base their thinking on foolish priorities. Which is more
important?
* Stallman does not respect Jobs now any more than he respected Jobs
last year.
* Jobs and his followers are trying to take away your freedom.
To a wise person, the second is very important and the first is
insignificant. So why do they care more about the first? That is the
essence of a fool.
