 Within this article we want to describe the logic failures many projects from the sphere of free and libre software are following and especially why Hyperbola do not and will not include or even mention further projects. Aside of we do not include a list of projects as this article is meant as generic description of fallacies. Within this article we want to describe the logic failures many projects from the sphere of free and libre software are following and especially why Hyperbola do not and will not include or even mention further projects.

-First of all we will use the idiom **freedom is not self-evident** as figurative meaning and expression also within this article. Therefore we want also to underline as others that free, libre software and culture is in a shape of crisis. We do not intend to get this mentioned idiom into misconception also. The conception of **freedom** as ultimate ratio for democratic participation and expression for every individual being is coming with a responsibility: Democracy and freedom are not some self-evident things, not coming also for everyone as "individual advantage". They are not responsible to make anything better individual, they are meant to be for everyone the same and we as global society have to work for so they can be kept for the future. Democracy and freedom are meant for making the whole social living better, meant to grant participation and rights for every being, not only for some or some advantages likewise people think. We have to work on and for it daily, inclusive as democrats and not as ignorant individuals!+First of all we will use the idiom "freedom is obviously not to be seen granted and given" as figurative meaning and expression also within this article. We also do not recognize "common sense" with the wording "obvious" as **freedom** can be defined throughout successive approximation and therefore scientific accuray, not with appealing some "common beliefs" or - as we underline here - myths people just accept as given. Therefore we underline that free, libre software and culture is in a shape of crisis. We do not intend to get this mentioned idiom into misconception also. The conception of **freedom** as ultimate ratio for democratic participation and expression for every individual being is coming with a responsibility: Democracy and freedom are not some obvious things always existing, not coming also for everyone as "individual advantage". They are not responsible to make anything better individual, they are meant to be for everyone the same and we as global society have to work for so they can be kept for the future. Democracy and freedom are meant for making the whole social living better, meant to grant participation and rights for every being, not only for some or some advantages likewise people think. We have to work on and for it daily, inclusive as democrats and not as ignorant individuals!
  
 **But what is this "freedom"?** **But what is this "freedom"?**
  
-The wording is seen for every individual different, sidewise when reading this article. We refer to "freedom" most time with the **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition#The_Four_Essential_Freedoms_of_Free_Software|four freedoms]]** defined for the "free, libre software"-movement.+The wording is seen for every individual different, sidewise when reading this article. We refer to "freedom" most time with the **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Free_Software_Definition#The_Four_Essential_Freedoms_of_Free_Software|four freedoms]]** defined for the "free, libre software"-movement. So to underline: When we stop evaluation of freedom, of critical points giving risks, we do not only endanger ourselves and question therefore elementary rights every being deserves. Democratic values are vanishing, when we stop asking questions, stop debating, when we only agree with darkness surrounding us as this is the logic fallacy following up when no questions are asked, information, facts and science are turned into false beliefs and myths. We need to learn, same as we need curiosity and therefore also each other to follow approvals of each other in critical perspectives.

 +<note important>**Freedom** and **democracy** are not just words coming by default into existence. If we really want to value them, we also need to do work to fulfill their meaning. Same alike free software itself as part of: If we want to value free software, we need to engage with and in it. Not just to think free software coming by default into existence, because some people are doing willingly work for others and do not need anything in return. Altruism is part of free software surely, but to value **freedom** and therefore free software, we need also engage on many ways. And in the same way we also need to engage in **democracy**, as it is not there for our own advantage. If we want both to persist, free software to persist, we have to rethink our stance daily.</note>

   * Social responsibility is one common ground to grant freedom: Interaction is never deterministic but can be solved with the will for talks under democratic prinicples. Without democratic inclusion the result could be even more harmful as empowering hateful ideologies is same way also the end of free, libre culture and altruistic motivation itself.   * Social responsibility is one common ground to grant freedom: Interaction is never deterministic but can be solved with the will for talks under democratic prinicples.

 +  * Being honest towards monetary support should and needs to be communicated: When critical projects are in the hands of sponsors from companies and corporations the community has already lost and will loose its access sooner or later.
  
 <note important>If goodness and mutual assistance with each other becomes a danger for people, those stances are also an act of rebellion and rearing up towards any form of contempt and hatred! Democracy is not only a word but also without an alternative as free, libre software itself results within. Tolerance of intolerance and therefore hatred and harassment results only in vanishing of tolerance itself. Only facts and information work therefore, conspiracy ideologies not.</note> <note important>If goodness and mutual assistance with each other becomes a danger for people, those stances are also an act of rebellion and rearing up towards any form of contempt and hatred!

-As long as misusage is going forward, named within this article, as long the "free, libre software"-movement will include those logical failures. Unable to solve them besides the cryout for "freedom" alone is not solving anything. Freedom is self-evident, when the personal freedom can be seen also in a wider context. It is a simple formula as the more people are able and willing to learn and educate, the more they can also take on other perspectives and find solutions with others around, the wider the perspective would get the more better the solutions can be. If we deny technical emancipation and await always from others solutions, we deny also a possible better outcome, reducing our complex social interaction only to deterministic information and algorithms defined by other instances.+As long as misusage is going forward, named within this article, as long the "free, libre software"-movement will include those logical failures.

 We have also named "decentralization" within this article, most with a negative connotation. But this naming and its mechanism per definition can be used also positive: When we are ready to use it for real. Instead to focus sources and information at and on single platforms. We should not just copy failed systems and platforms as social interaction and communication is too complex for just some lines written or regulated throughout digital tools. Same when we are going to use the rulesets instead as community in opposite to focus that on just single individuals, names and persons. The opposite direction is to enable really every individual to be capable of doing something, just instead to have only some focus on names, platforms and projects. We do not need to build oversized and complex processing structures, we just need fitting toolsets with doing just one thing and doing that well enough. Bringing the real community back with the will to debate, to change and to work with each other, just to learn peacefully and with democratic participation. Leaving the rest behind, yes, sometimes even strict and harsh as ideologies and perspectives with roots in hatred, harassment and exclusion of groups or individuals have no place in a democracy. **Empowering ourselves to empower others, with the will of those again to carry on!** We have also named "decentralization" within this article, most with a negative connotation.
