I was there in the audience, full of enthusiasm for the new world we were about to unleash. We invited the world to our cyber party, thinking it would produce the same effects in them that it did in us. Was it a mistake? Would Qanon exist if it wasn't for 90s internet conspiracy culture? Would Trump ever have become president without everyone using the internet? The biggest crisis we face, culturally speaking, is the proliferation of bull$hit. Everyone existing in their own little virtual reality-tunnels, with the international hive-mind machine of the internet supporting their every delusion. It's like we threw the world into a counter-culture theme park, and all they did was buy the tshirt and put it on to look cool without ever considering what it meant. I don't know if this is all our fault or not, but maybe we're the only ones who can fix it.
You right the world is too ego syntonic but it was planned to go down like this books have forecast the world must move like this eg. Enjoy the decline I guess
Peace. Just read your comment. It hit me hard. Tim said “we” was the likeminded, Doug said “we” was the unlikeminded. Who is the “we” for you? All of humanity?
THIS IS SO SATISFYING. What a masterpiece!
