I want to somehow go back to 1998 and find young me when I still believed the internet and computers would truly make us love each other more and break down national divides and bring a greater peace to the whole world and i want to punch him square in the mouth.
Also i think this might be my last Christmas. Like I will still be around but Christmas as we grow up with is no longer going to be a thing.
It’s not young-you’s fault, they had us all hooked on that potential. And it 100% had and still has that potential, it’s just that the wrong people are calling the shots.
Tell you what, I’ll go back with you and we can punch the ones who ruined the internet!
I wholeheartedly believe nothing is lost yet! We’re still around, we’re still full-on “seditious” (from the perspective of Big Bucks McOildrill), we can do this!
But, yes, we do need an Underground Railroad type network for now…
While I totally agree i also think that tool is like the machine gun in world war 1. We had guns before but it supercharged the rate in which the people in power inflict human misery. It’s like web 1.0 was like general relativity. Intelligent people just working for the further understanding of their world. Web 2 was the atom bomb taking that technology and using it to make carnage. Where it had the potential to just light everyone’s home.

Same.
I mean Ive already given myself a black eye before, but I’d also love to go back and kick my own ass for not being a better person. Future me was never going to change anything Asafum, you dumb fuck. Now it’s just 1000x harder and 2 decades down the drain.

Yeah I mean the web is lost but the tildeverse is still a thing so that’s something but it’s not going to change the world only become the resistance.

Don’t blame the internet for the unjust hierarchy that permeates every facet of human civilization. It is a tool, nothing more.

Why do you feel you wasted 2 decades? Not enough personal progress? We all do what we can in life.
