Death of open internet

It used to be you could talk to anyone.

Now you have to go through so many layers of registrations and security that , If you are not a FACEBOOK minion.. is almost more trouble than it is worth.
It is the psychology of frustration and little will.
Most give up.

The net result across the net is that most stay on accepted pathsand never end up talking to those who can answer questions counter to the will of those
thatwant you to be ignorant.
This all sounds very 'conspiracy'.
it is not.. It is how the world works and has done so for 4000 years.
It was once said he net was our way to complete freedom of information.
False

Bureaucracy found a way. To disempower any who would use the net for anti bureaucratic goals. It imposed fear and lack of security on us.. and we cringed.
Bureaucracy uses itself to dominate the fears and hopes of man. We so wish to be part of something we sold ourselves to a false 'something'
Bureaucracy is death.

I am so happy i am an old fart. and do not have to witness humanity dying with a whimper.

I do not care. I have a small job until I find way to pass new frontiers to India. So I only use Internet because I have nothing of better to do.

 

Hey, the internet need not be dead unless the power runs out.
I am trying to regenerate a dutch community that used to be the largest online community of europe. With little succes, but I am not giving up.

We can start an english community as well. What is needed is only people who are committed to really talk to one another. I have access to web resources, and there need not be any bureaucracy or commerce or profit to be involved.

Just a discussion to start with!

 

All of this alive - open Internet is for who ? Yes there is good stuff only 99 peoples do not have care. Most people want only popular music and films and to look at porn or talk sex on facebook et cetera Internet will not die. It will just se transforme to more junk we do not really need.

 

I know. I do care. It's not just the internet, it's everywhere. When I was a child I used to have friends. There used to be communication. I want to bring back the good part of the past into the present and the future. Internet can bring people together, and can make people do amazing things.

 

Right now I have bored because I am traveling and where I am staying is a church. It is quiet and I have nothing but the church computer to talk to. I can not have friends here or stay outside past 19h00 because I will loose my room. So I play with computer/internet, knit and wash clothes for the without-home people. (home-less ? ) Person not talk with their friends today and the younger the individu is the more ant-social they are. The handsome old times where much better. The Internet make some things little bit better but I can live without it. Above all if it returns to they way society had been.

 

you have better things to do..

this internet whackyness is starting to click for me. most or all of the web has been corrupted. time to move on, i think. take back to the woods and to friends houses. i feel guilty about sitting behind a computer screen so much, i feel some real action is in order. i think the next internet will be through telepathic connections maybe a little less corruptible. i still like HipForums tho. OP, can you see any reason i shouldn't visit the forums a couple times a day?

 

That's what I thought too. But friends are busy and absent. It's not easy to make new friends. If there were enough friends, I think I would not be on hipforums. I do agree some action is in order. Finding consensus about subjects between people is a good idea, although not easy. Telepathic contact may be nice, but I have no idea how to make telepathic contact. I always thought computer programming was cool. I still do, but the manuals are not what they used to be. A new web perhaps.

 

yea, computers are alright. i just think we could have all sorts of different technologies with different conceptual ideas, i don't think it will really happen till we understand the quantum universe better. maybe that will help telepathy develop, maybe we can figure these things out by using psychedelics? haha.. just my imagination really

 

Sounds nice. Society was nice around 1999. We are locked in a cage, I tell you that. We need to get out.
I cannot get out of the prison that is society except by doing a lot of drugs and become mentally free and find enlightenment, but I try to get out of the cage that is the computer.
I want to have total control over the computer, to regain total control. There must be a way. low-level programming. If we can regain control over our computers, which we spend so much time behind, maybe we can regain control over society. Work in the coal mines. Investigate fusion. Agriculture by robots. Space travel with reusable vehicles.
