Disclaimer: This is only for reference. Some hackers may disagree with
these statements.
- The Hacker Ethic: "Attack anything that tries to hide information
from the masses".
- Rebel against harmful or oppressive authority.
- Screw everyone but your friends.
- Never trust anyone.
- Style over substance, blur meat and machine (more on cybernetics later).
- Anti-totalitarianism. Anarchy preferred.
- Striving for a moral and spiritual utopian "enlightened despotism".
- Related to Post Modernism Movement.
- Democracy does not really figure in (individual not mass dictatorship).
- Striving for "freedom" as either personal dependence or
independence from/on technology.
