This fact turns into a problem when one tries to apply consequential ethics to actions. Consequential ethics regards the causal effects that follows from action as the important part. For example; if someone killed Adolf Hitler the consequentialist would say that it was a morally correct action since it stopped WWII, while other ethics (deontologic for example) may claim that the action was wrong since killing is always (intrinsically) wrong. We live in a society were the consequences are important when it comes to measuring what is good and evil, right or wrong. Naturally, the above problem is far from absent. But since this kind of meta-ethics is too hard for many people to understand, the problem is simply ignored because people are not really aware of it. One way of describing 'computer crime', 'hacking' and 'phreaking' is to claim that it is wrong, wrong and, of course, wrong. Satan has offered the new electronic apple from the tree of knowledge to some people and turned them into 'criminals' that seeks the power of information (hence, with 'computer crimes' I do not mean computer-related theft or equal). Systems are cracked, secrets are exposed - the state, our new God, wants to throw these bad guys out of paradise. Since the state owns the monopoly of violence, it will use violence to reach this goal. If violence is not enough, the state will spread lies and misinformation to the population instead. The state will shout that hackers are dangerous individuals that must be stopped by all means. Since the population is only given the point of view of the state, no real debate will start concerning the subject. Hackers are criminals, they must be stopped - end of discussion. The state does not spread this twisted view of the computer underground to protect the people. The state only protects itself. But it needs help from ignorant people to survive. People that cannot think for themselves, people that are so brain-washed that they seem to enjoy being fed with lies from the state, they are the perfect mob for this project. Unfortunately, this mob is the majority. They are the victims of our society. They are the 'common people', the robots that work, watch television (the drug of the nation), work, eat, sleep and die without questioning their lives. They live as modern slaves, because someone told them that this is the only way of living. Guess who told them this? The state, naturally. So we have two forces; the state versus the computer underground. The state says that hacking is wrong. The computer underground claims that it is right. Now we move on to the other description of the same phenomena. This time we will study the correct version. The main argument against hacking is - naturally - that it undermines national security. The secrets are not secret anymore if people are able to gain access to them. Now, what is this thing called 'secrets'? What kind of secrets are so secret that they may cause chaos of they are exposed? The state answers to this question; 'The secrets are secret because if they were public, war and terror would rule. The russians would attack us, the arabs would attack us, Europe would attack us, United States would attack us - if they knew our secrets. Therefor, only the men in the ruling position ought to know about them, because they are the ones that know how to handle it. Hackers will ruin our country, our dream and blah blah blah.' This is obviously wrong. It is the secrets themselves that cause war, just because they are secret. It is the old way of looking at things, the selfish, primitive, medieval, way that causes trouble. A few good men has played around with each other, as if the world was nothing more than a game of Conspiracy, far too long. Wars, espionage, cold wars, assassinations, CIA, KGB etc etc etc. The ones who have to pay the price is the population. If you ask yourself 'what is it good for?' you will find that the answers will move around in small circles. 'Secrets are necessary to protect us from war (or equal)' - 'War is necessary to protect our secrets' and so on. What if there were no more secrets? It is time to end the government domination, free us from our chains. Hacking punches small holes into the balloon of secrets. Secrets gush out of it, and soon the balloon is turned into a worthless piece of crap. The state tries to cover the holes, since it wants to protect itself. People realize that the contents in the balloon is not dangerous for themselves, it is only harmful for the state itself. When we have gotten rid of the last secret, there will not be possible for the state to spread more lies and misinformation. The secrets are dangerous for us only when they are secret. The state is bad for our health. There is nothing called 'the public good'. There are only individuals with individual dreams and goals. To sacrifice people, entire nations, just because a few members of the government think it is necessary for the 'public good' - is wrong. What is good for the 'public' is only good for the abstract and aggressive phenomena called the State. It is only good for protecting the secrets. Hacking is the concrete method of creating the new world order. The fact that some slaves of the system describe the computer underground in a certain negative way does not mean that they are beholders of the truth. They are simply not aware of the real truth. They are simply unable to view the situation from the correct angle. However, one does not discuss this view without problems. This file may, by some people, be regarded as one that does encourage people to hack, which makes it illegal in their eyes. Would you like to prosecute me? Be my guest. You may call it a criminal act - I prefer to label this 'information'. No more secrets. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you would like to read more essays related to this subject, check out; Declare War!
