mathematical part of my brain

There's no such thing. It's just a gooey mass of billions of randomly firing neurons that can coalesce into patterns of signals and "brute force" answers to math problems. We are not logic machines with well defined mechanisms of functionality like a computer. We just fake it very well. That's why we can make mistakes. A well built computer does not make mistakes.

It's just a general quality of the political far right the world over. They don't like people that don't act, look, or think like them. Anything that challenges their beliefs about what a person is supposed to do is something to fight against for them.

When it goes to the extreme, you get Nazis.

They're usually always propping up their whole operation on a series of open source wooden carts they picked up off the Internet. Those carts are the foundation that makes everything work.

As we saw a couple months ago, a core part of how Internet security works had a giant hole in it, and it was all because one dude had some kind of mental breakdown and handed off development to an attacker.
