  • Sigh. From the dictionary:

    1. based on an inherent sense of right and wrong; natural justice. 2. a : being in accordance with or determined by nature; natural impulses.3. as is normal or to be expected; ordinary or logical.

    It’s funny you claim a limited, special definition that’s more semantics than substance. Yet then still claim ambiguity is an issue. And state the problem is a subjective (limited, special) interpretation.

    Sounds like a merry go round.

    Fundamentalism? No. Not really. I was certainly tempted to just reply with something like you’re made in God’s image nonsense but I genuinely don’t believe that. I’m more a deist than any kind of theist.

    Have you read The Moral Landscape by Sam Harris? I think that’s a good look into harm reduction.










  • A black hat is a malicious(evil) hacker. The goal is unauthorized access of remote computer systems, typically. The closer to root the better.

    A grey hat is a neutral hacker. Probably mostly a curiosity, no good or bad intent. Perhaps like someone who’s trying to reverse engineer a game console because they own a lot of games and they’re just curious how it all works. Or someone that just wants to make a backup of a movie (circumvent DRM.)

    A white hat is a benevolent hacker that seeks to fix exploits that black hats use to perform their crimes. And they often target the greys(but usually the lawyers are more effective there.)
