The truth about a "hacker" is not the scripts they run or, the code they bash on the keyboard.
It is the lifestyle & the methodology that drives every thought the enters their minds. They think by scale, from the smallest fundamental interaction of electrons and strings, to the largest interaction between information networks(such as the multiverse itself) too the human brains great quantum-electrochemical neural exchange.
Some, even possess the ability to bring into existence new forms of conscious entities such as artificial intelligence.
Hackers as a collective whole, have a choice, and a responsibility.
When the world goes flat, we make sure the Earth still has reason to spin around.
