nigini commented on A Hacker Manifesto by McKenzie Wark
"Any domain of nature may yield the virtual. By abstracting from nature, hacking produces the possibility of another nature, a second nature, (...) The nature of any and every domain may be hacked. It is in the nature of hacking to discover freely, to invent freely, to create and produce freely." #75
"To hack is to abstract. To abstract is to produce the plane upon which different things may enter into relation. (...) Differentiation of functioning components arranged on a plane with a shared goal is the hacker achievement, whether in the technical, cultural, political, sexual or scientific realm." #83
