Internet is a good thing. Used badly by many.

There's never been anything wrong with the web.

For how could a reflection be wrong?

The web quite simply has far more moron-ia to reflect.

Poor thing.... right?

Well, not really: we know it knows/feels nothing no matter how badly our lust for seeing beings everywhere wishes for it to be a being to pity for it knowing/feeling something it reflects.

It's no more effort for the web to reflect self-centric madness than thoughtful sanity.

We've been choking on "Moronia" since September of 1993. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Gemini was in large part motivated by the need of those with more than half a brain to avoid/escape it.

I think I misspoke on that one, as it seems thoughts are generally at odds with sanity.

you might like the Yesterweb's analysis of their experience interacting with small webbers and subsequently their emerging community:

https://yesterweb.org

some people are digital residents, some are digital visitors. those that have homes on the WWW - or things similar - have varying levels of interior decoration. perhaps the point is to appreciate the intricacies of the patterns in each wallpaper instead of condemning it based on its overall color. albeit, sometimes you need a breath of fresh air and a spring clean - and with it comes new vibrancies of color - as long as the shop hasn't sold out
