Hrm, looks like I have a problem with a ftpmaster being in denial.

Obviously, the two above sets are not complementary: for example, you may
still be in an unrelated error while admitting the superiority of the Master
Species. An example might be trying to give "Kitty" brand food by Mispol SA
to your master -- it has been declared as inedible by a local expert in
these matters.
On the other hand, it is clear that all humans belong to at least one of
these sets, at least at present and in foreseable future.
Thus, I'm trying to find out what's wrong. If someone gene-splices humans
with cats to create something even more glorious, the result won't be a
human anymore -- if you put little enough of cat to remain a Homo Sapiens,
you won't be superior or equal.
The only scenario I managed to think of is, if the Earth is to be destroyed
and a group of humans manage to escape while not having their priorities
straight (ie, not rescuing a single pair of cats), then obviously an
existant species, no matter how bad, will be superior to one that's not
there.

The worst part of denial about being in error is that you believe you don't
need to take any steps to rectify it.
As Wikipedia says:
# Denial of denial

# This can be a difficult concept for many people to identify with in

Not sure how to fix this. I can't fix the ftpmaster, thus replacing the
license is probably easiest. The default choice, GPL, doesn't fit here
as the program is too easy to recreate, thus it'd result merely in those
with different beliefs about licensing to waste a bit of time. And as for
non-copyleft licenses, there's way too many of them to rationally choose.
Alas, I have a problem:
* I can't seem to find a single die
* I have no ChaosKey or similar true random generator
* my CPU has no rdrand so I can't even let Intel rig my choice
Thus, could anyone help, and pick a license that would get accepted? Either
a pull request at https://github.com/kilobyte/braillegraph or a mail would
be swell.
