I used to roll my eyes at him. I thought he was just a nut. Turns out, he was right, and I was wrong. I hate the fact that he's right, because the warnings he made seemed so obviously stupid to implement.
Stallman stubborn and incredibly unreasonable. There are many things I disagree with him, but when he is right he is right. I'm very grateful that he exists. RMS reminds me of this GBS quote:
βThe reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.β β George Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman
Yet here we are. I now respect him immensely
