—“Soros is also the key sponsor for Femen, the radical feminist organization. Though he threatened to remove funds when they spread to Israel. It seems radical feminism is quite alright in Western societies, but isn’t Kosher.”—Mamela Fiallo Flor

OVERSING VS ATLASSIAN (JIRA/CONFLUENCE)
I’m not sure whether Altassian knows about us yet or not, but Oversing makes the Atlassian product stack (Jira/Agile/Confluence) look like, and drive like, your grandfather’s Buick.
And if they did know, they probably wouldn’t assume that because of our development costs, feature set, and tech stack, that we can sell our product at $10 a user, and produce the same profits as Atlassian does at their combined price of Jira, Agile, Service Desk, and Confluence. Or that Oversing will sell to the entire organization, rather than just a few departments.
Oversing is designed to serve everything OTHER than internal software development – something we did in no small part to make us compatible with the Atlassian Stack, rather than a direct competitor in their core business.
They should buy us. Atlassian should buy us. They really should buy us before they go to market. Because if we release during their Quiet Period, it’ll be extremely costly. On the flip side, if they bought us, their dreams of joining the Oracle/Microsoft/SAP club of billions would be half as far away as they imagine it is.

***George Soros is the Natural Consequence of Popper’s Open Society.***
I am fixing it. But I did not seriously account for the idealism of the Popperians. I assumed it was a rational rather than intuitive choice. And for a small minority of critical rationalists / realists it is a rational choice (myself included). But the natural consequence of Popper’s open society is Progressive Tyranny.
I have been struggling with this problem of the half-truth of popperian thought for years now.
While the basic Critical Preference, Critical Rational, and Critical Realist propositions are true, it does not follow that the ANALOGISTIC application of those principles is true in a world where we are competitors by politics, production, trade, law, culture and norm.
The Open Society is an evil.
Which I find depressing as hell, but unable to counter.

If you aren’t willing to fight, then your opinion is irrelevant.
Pacifism was merely a convenient pretence to provide women, intellectuals and priests with the illusion of equal political standing.
It is just a pretence.
Warriors grant them permission.

War is morally justifiable – and morality is justificationary – as long as one is increasing the scope of suppression of free riding in all its forms.
The converse is also true.
