Hacking ideologies

From What The Wiki?!

Who was at the lecture Hacker Ideologies by Toni Prug, got the chance to participate in theoretical discussions about the limits of language and the use of certain concepts such as "democracy" and "freedom of speech". This discussion took as an initial point the opening speech at the beginning of What The Hack. Participants seemed most interested in the questions whether there is a need for a re-definition of these concepts and how this community can balance the language between the "outside world" and the "inside".

Another point, connected with that, is the exact relation between this two realities - "the outside world" and "the inside world" of the community. In all of this, the boundaries and the definition of these boundaries are implicit for the two major concepts - democracy and freedom of speech.
