Philosophy
Democracy makes our work and living here possible.
It is the ASCII, the code big parts of the worlds social, political and cultural processes are based upon.
It is the fundamental OS.
It is about cooperation and colaboration.
But it hasn't existed always, nor will it.
And it is far from being perfect - it demands development to avoid beeing outdated and deprecated.
