yes. Mount is a process of replacing a local directory *contents* with a
remote directory *contents*, conceptually

So  e.g. mount ...... remote:/home/zaphod /home/remote-zaphod
replaces the CONTENTS of /home/remote-zaphod with the *contents* of
remote:/home/zaphod.

“it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism
(or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans,
about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and
the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a
'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,'
a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for
rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet
things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that
you live neither in Joseph Stalin’s Communist era, nor in the Orwellian
utopia of 1984.”
