There's a belief that (I'm going to heavily paraphrase/over simplify here) when you're born, there are two versions of you ... The 'corporation', and the 'real' you.

Any document issued by the government i.e. birth certificates, social security etc is against the corporate version of you. And as a 'real' person, you are not part of a system you didn't consent to.

So when you get pulled over for speeding, it was your real self who was driving travelling, not the corporation, and only the corporate self is beholden to the law. This same idea is applied to taxes...

    Might pay to read up on the luddites.

    They protested against manufacturers who used machines in "a fraudulent and deceitful manner" to replace the skilled labour of workers and drive down wages by producing inferior goods.

    Please can you explain this in genetic terms?

    As I understood it, sex is determined by the presence, or absence, of a Y chromosome, at the 23rd pair.

    While exceptions exist, they're incredibly rare genetic observations and I have never heard or read it referred to as a "spectrum".

    In a modern internet context:

    Fear. Uncertainty. Doubt.

    Often used in crypto circles when a shitty project is being accused of being a rug pull. The scammer may say "it's just FUD, ignore it".

    On 'the street', if I called someone a fud, it is calling them an idiot.
