#Question
Is there a way do open source ethically, e.g. to restrict use to only things which the author considers ethically acceptable?
Jason is hyperactive without any impulse control or awareness of what's going on.
Janet is the robot variant.
Micheal is the no-empathy* variant.
* IMHO empathy is learned, and most people with autism have rather too much than too little.
Chidi is clearly following his subject of interest obsessively. I have to assume that someone helped him to get his Phd because he wouldn't have been able to make the choices required himself. His executive function is poor and he's oblivious to the effect he has on other people.
Tahani just doesn't "get" the social thing, but it's important in her circles, so she ends up with a set of rules and prototypes for being a host which is all performance.
And Tahani ends up rejected anyway bc none of it feels authentic or original. Unlike her sister, who is a natural and fits in intuitively, Tahani struggles & is totally oblivious to how she appears to others.
Eleanor: "Why don't I ever listen to people when they talk about themselves? No, it's annoying, and I'm right not to."

"Contemporary governmentality combines #biopolitical and #necropolitical logics to establish social, political and physical borders that classify and stratify populations using symbolic and material marks as, for example, nationality, gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, social class and/or disability." http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/abs/10.1108/QRJ-08-2017-089
"#Necropolitics is the use of social and political power to dictate how some people may live and how some must die."
"#Necropolitics is more than a right to kill, but also the right to expose other people (including a country's own citizens) to death. …[including] the right to impose social or civil death, the right to enslave others, and other forms of political violence."
How people speak and behave in private reveals who they really are.

“Traveling solo does not always mean you’re alone. Most often, you meet marvelous people along the way and make connections that last a lifetime.”
‘When you’re traveling with someone else, you share each discovery, but when you are alone, you have to carry each experience with you like a secret, something you have to write on your heart, because there’s no other way to preserve it.”
