How many times do we hear on Hive, the fallacious argument that ‘code is law’?
Fallacious?
Yes.(you blasphemer'!)
A fallacy is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning, or "wrong moves" in the construction of an argument. A fallacious argument may be deceptive by appearing to be better than it really is. Some fallacies are committed intentionally to manipulate or persuade by deception, while others are committed unintentionally due to carelessness or ignorance.

It doesn’t take an Einstein to work out that ‘code is law’ is a fallacious position to hold if you apply the above description of what a fallacy is.
‘Code’ is written by people.
It's merely the thoughts of humans, made manifest.
It is a point in time - Nothing more.
People decide what the code is.
Ergo. ...'Code is law' is a fallacy – it's merely the representation of a number of people coming to an agreement about a process - one that, in a perfect world, would try to reflect, approximate, or encourage, the best of human values.
What happens then, when ‘the law’- written by humans – is not reflective of human values?
You change the code.
‘The law’ is not inviolate, it's not set in silicon for the rest of time - – it’s as mutable as a piece of plasticine.
Love, however, IS The Law.
Love is the thing that binds nature together.
Love is growth, expansion, positivity, striving, freedom, and yes – conflict against those that would subvert the law...
Love is not the fluffy stuff of novels, the story line of a blockbuster film, filled with flowery music and crying couples.
Oh no – Love is harsh, and cruel, non sentimental, and brave.
It is truth, authenticity, reality - and it fears nothing...NO...THING.
It’s not very sentimental at all in fact…
Love is what makes life worth living.
It is purpose.
Love is the juice, not the unpicked fruit hanging on the tree.
The unpicked fruits are the essential ingredients that go into making the juice - into making love.
...Respect, honor, principle, virtue, and integrity, they are the fruits that must be picked, and they all go into making the juice.
How then, does the current - transitory - ‘code is law’ on hive - written by coders – stand up to the harsh scrutiny of love?
(It takes no prisoners. And it doesn’t suffer fools….)
The current - transitory - and entirely subjective code that's been written by people - IF it is meant to represent human values and act as a conduit to expressing those values - the it is not fit for purpose.
You have failed - as coders - as witnesses - to achieve this... (so far).
It does not reflect or honor the values of love – to reward the good, and disregard or destroy the bad.
Love doesn’t shy away from conflict, for she is always correct.
She is the universe itself.
She IS the lawmaker. She is THE LAW ITSELF.
The ultimate truth, the arbiter of all things.
Down voting allows bad values to flourish – and all , by definition - at the expense of love.
Love is being upvoted, supported for your work, negativity is being penalized for your best efforts.
‘Code is law’ in regards to the current , transitory, code that we have now - rewards cowardice, rewards laziness, rewards negative actions.
That’s hardly very sympathetic to ‘ Love is the law’, now is it?
Love is not a romantic ideal (although it most certainly can be) it is THE SYSTEM OF THE UNIVERSE.
Some call it god, some call it evolution, some call it free will, some call it free markets…..it matters not.
The principles remain the same.
When ‘code is law’ violates these principles, it violates the natural order of the universe.
When ‘code is law’ is not in sympathy with love - when it flies in the face of loves own structures, then it’s a perversion of the natural order.
A perversion of reality.
When ‘code is law’ supports and empowers systems of tyranny, duplicity, non accountability, irresponsibility, and the evil of small minded people, the answer is quite simple.
Glaringly obvious in fact - to those not blinded by hubris.
All the answers in life are simple.
It’s the weak minded control freaks that try to make it complex.
Why?
It gives out the false impression of intelligence (to those not understanding the constructed complexity).
Complexity gives power to those not in a state of love, it lends credence to those without authentic credibility.
Complexity is a mask worn by the disingenuous, just as simplicity is feared by them - for simple needs no masks.
‘Code is law’ is fallacious.
Love is authentic.
Intelligence? .... that's love in ‘contemplation mode’, you idiots! lol
‘Make good code, not war’ – or rather ‘Make the code fit the love’ – it's the only way to go forwards, to grow, to expand, to reach people.
When 'code is law' supports the negative – the evil (an absence of love), then there is only one outcome.
If we use Hive as an isolated model of this, we can see it clearly.
Stagnation, lack of appeal, insular, and very 'nasgul greedy'.
Sort it out HIVE !
....before nature sorts it out for you.
She is much mightier than your hubris or even ...get this... your stake size!
Shock! Horror!...
Get eating some fucking ‘eating humble pie’ will ya ?
Love doesn’t take prisoners, is not forgiving to evil - and has no care for what happens to the evil that she destroys.
…She has better and far more fun things, to do…
Do you hear the sound of any pennies dropping?
That would be your authentic self, screaming to you, trying to be heard through the cloak of hubris that you’ve wrapped yourself in.
Hubris fears the truth , just as a Vampire fears the sunlight...
Who's the master of your own your ship?
You ?
Or your Hubris?
Nature - or Love - doesn’t give a fuck about your egocentric
insecurities.
She's powerful beyond any measure that we humans can even try to imagine.
Clean your head, before she does it for you - because she ain't very gentle in these matters...'self fixing' is a highly recommended route to take...
Love, Nature, The Universe - call it what you will - she's not a snowflake , call her what you will... She's infinitesimally more powerful than any techy, nerdy, geek , who thinks they have new answers.
Answers that are influenced by too many hours playing computer games, too much shit food, too little exercise, and a pitiful level in the understanding other humans…
When code written by those not in touch with the rhythms of universe, not 'in love' - it's demon code, written to create an emerging hellscape…
...Ask Tesla, a man beyond genius, imo.
He knew.
....Or does your computer nerd hubris that you posses, make you think that you’re smarter than him?....Seriously?
Shhhhhhh! .....Can you hear that disturbing sound in the your cranium?...That's Love laughing at you… She loves to use mockery as a weapon against the weak ego'd.
She has a wicked sense of humor.
So Upvote accordingly , all my real life angels….There are far more of us than there are of 'them'....(call them what you will).
Oh, and to all the weak minded demons out there...
You go right ahead, and go fuck yourself !
(lets be honest , no one else wants to).
