The problem with RMS is that he is the founder of the FSF and is the main
figurehead. When he says stuff like this, it also represents the FSF. I'm
sure there are members of the FSF (both in his office and community) that
have children and disagree with him.
Let's just put this on the table. Yes, I know that anything can reproduce
whether it is a human or a plant. The reality of us as as humans is that we
are part of a society that builds communities and we are social creatures. We
may get happiness from having a child love us or a good friend who will back
you up when you need him or her.
The impression that many of us get is that Stallman puts software code above
humans. This is not my words but his as Stallman said himself in the video.
He is selfish and self centered and he believes humans should stop
reproducing because it wastes resources. It has been known that Stallman was
abused as a child and is a self hating Jew, but the reality is that we need
to treasure human life because that is who we are. In the bigger picture,
computers and code are nice to have and are great tools. Thats all they
are... tools used by humans who are passionate about life itself.
Its also hypocritical of him to want to end proprietary companies when it is
those companies like Google and Oracle that are paying the FSF
(https://www.fsf.org/patrons) so he can not only eat and pay his bills, but
travel around the world wasting fossil fuels run by jets running on
proprietary software. He complains that a child wastes human resources but he
himself doesn't hesitate to waste them.
The more and more I hear this guy talk, the more of a joke he is. The free
software initiative is very important to current and future development of
computing, but I would NEVER support him. Oh and btw he supports pedophilia.
Hates children but somehow supports them when they are naked.
