I don't think he has ever used that expression "superior", but let's be
honest, each person lives in the way that he thinks is best and when one
person goes to such great lenghts to live in a specific way, which is
different from everyone else, we might say that he thinks that is the correct
way to live and therefore it bring the idea of "superior". But feel free to
rephrase it into "I live in a better way..."
Still, I think it's important to think, each one of us... If we were to stop
using a cellphone, saying that it hurt our privacy, wouldn't it be a little
"weird" to ask them to let us use it once in a while?? Be honest, people
would say "lol, yeah sure, because you care about privacy but not about my
phone bill AHHAHAHAH, here take it and lose your attitude".
While I am not saying that he is wrong in many of his views (his writings
actually made me think more about human rights and companies activities) I
think he loses some credibility when he actually takes advantage of "immoral"
things as long as they don't affect him.
Of course, I would first think "Do I take advantage of those things?" "Do I
give so much to the community like he has done over his life?" "Do I have any
useful suggestion to give him?"
I only wanted to open some debate here about this... or rather, about one man
who we follow for his work on free software and should consider also other
parts of his life. Because, he at least (different from other guys on the
net) is totally open about his own life. That is good, but it should bring us
to a debate, so we can actually learn something from that openness.
Thanks to everyone who has commented so far.
