Principles

 * See also Hacker ethic


 * 1) Access to computers -- and anything which might teach you something about the way the world works -- should be unlimited and total. Always yield to the Hands-on Imperative!
 * 2) All information should be free.
 * 3) Mistrust authority -- promote decentralization.
 * 4) Hackers should be judged by their hacking, not bogus criteria such as degrees, age, race or position.
 * 5) You can create art and beauty on a computer.
 * 6) Computers can change your life for the better.
