- now out of curiosity - can we rewind to you saying "freedom of information"? Can you please define "information" in-context?
- this is mostly because I just realized that depending on the definition used that statement is contradictory to you stance on hot-dog theft
- I'm going to assume information is "anything that can be quantized as a binary string of n-length"
- is that a reasonable definition?
- Now if we assume this to be a reasonable definition then hot-dog theft is perfectly allowed because you can encode the exact recipe, the exact molecular structure of all ingredients, the exact subatomic particle configuration required to form the atoms said molecules consist of.
- Arguably under this definition of 'information' nothing is sacred, want to steal your neighbours maserati? Go for it, we can encode it as information and you cannot own subatomic particulae ergo you cannot own a car since it consists of two things: subatomic particulae and information, both of which are unownable (one due to the nature of the particluae themselves, the other becuase you said so).
- Indeed, taken to its logical extreme a human being is nothing but information, ergo owning them isn't illegal - but neither is grabbing them and sticking them in an underground dungeon or extermination camp =333333
- I support free information for the subset of information that is considered educational - i.e maths, history, Language, learning programming et cetera
- But information in its raw definition implies that everything is free - lovely

- inb4 "particulae" isn't a word
- Relevant definition follows
- Latin
- Particulae
- 1. nominative plural of particula
- Now you probably don't know what nominative is, `A case that is usually used as the subject of a verb. For example, if English had a fully productive case system, then (the) man in "The man threw the ball" would most likely be in the nominative case.` now you do
- Oh and let's define Particula as well for the shiggles
- Latin
- Noun - Particula
- 1. small part, particle
- I've gone full circle from giving a shit to trolling it seems
