The world is out there and reality is out there, too. I think there is plenty of room for GP to be a part of that reality, helping to build a stronger world.

What do you think?

GP is something used by people to shut up others or to do un-GP things themselves. If you are an $@#$@#$@# you either a.) are enough of one and become successful (Jim Cramer model) b.) people call you out and don't trust you, and you are your own worst enemy.

GP isn't a lie nor is it the truth, GP is a handy slogan and montra that has turned into a religion, and it shouldn't be. If you are wondering and worrying about GP, then something is wrong. (note xkcd comic, replace voting machine and antivirus with FIRST and GP)
