Heisenberg Killed This Blog
Heisenberg kills freedom of speech. Heisenberg kills freedom of thought. I hate it.
When I was completely anonymous, I could freely write anything I wanted to. My self-imposed constraint was that, if I was going to blog under a pseudonym, then everybody else I talked about in my blog was also protected under a pseudonym as well. I could rant and rave all I wanted, and in the end I only rant against people with pseudonyms. That way, there was no harm and no foul.
Now I’m no longer completely anonymous. Because of this, the people and entities I want to write about can no longer have the protection that anonymity affords. I can’t even tweet without someone reading all kinds of paranoid crap into it — and giving me grief for it!
Freedom is something I value so highly that even in the way I manage people, I encourage original, individual thought — I do not like to have a bunch of mindless robots working for me; I want people who think for themselves, that way when they tell me something, I can trust them to tell me the truth of the situation. A ‘yes’ always means ‘yes’ and a ‘no’ always means ‘no’. My guys always trust me enough to tell me frankly when they would have difficulty in solving some technical problem, or when they tell me they’ll be able to finish some task in x-number of days, then I can be fairly certain that they’re being honest, since they speak always frankly and of their own free will. I don’t like it when someone tries to tell me only what I want to hear — that person is only a frackin’ robot, and I HATE stupid robots.
Now I can no longer express myself as freely as I used to. All because of Heisenberg. Well, now — everybody else can be frickin’ sheep if they want to, conforming their thoughts to someone else’s opinions. Not me.
I’m going completely anonymous again. I’ve already deleted my Twitter account. My Facebook will probably follow soon. This blog will close down in a couple of days for sure.
