* Running code (and the “rough” consensus of the Lynch law) as
opposed to correct software: the deliberate use of inferior algorithms, anti-intellectualism and hatred of culture masquerading as a pseudo-scientific asceticism
* Treatment of artifacts such as computers and abstractions as more
important than human beings
* Autism
* A fundamental lack of decency
* A mythos in which the hacker fantasizes himself as uniquely
valuable to his company when he’s in fact a dime a dozen
* Majoritarian tyranny
* Disrespect for midlevel authorities that make safe targets
* Contempt for intellectual production masquerading as a critique of intellectual property, as in the case where almost the sole criterion of value is the servile haste of the producer
* Digital Maoism (cf Jaron Lanier‘s book You Are Not a Gadget): the cynical use of elites of what Adorno calls “domination of the dominated by the dominated” (Adorno)
