Unix begat the kernel;

the kernel begat the libraries;

the libraries begat the utilities;

the utilities begat the ten thousand apps.

The ten thousand apps

carry semantics on their backs,

and syntax on their fronts.

This combination makes harmony.

People detest geeks, nerds, and dweebs,

and yet hackers and wizards use these titles.

Thus, perhaps, things lose but something wins.

What others say, I say too:

Tyrants and flamers don't die natural deaths.

I make this the foundation of my doctrine.
