What’s fascinating is that when actual people were the ones developing and using the Internet to communicate(as opposed to companies and nation states), the community organically came up with methods of preventing this type of thing.

So why is the problem not solved yet then? Those people are still around, many in core projects important for tech industry. Many with enormous capital.

The problem is always architectural - technical, strategic, tactical, economic, social, but all these are subject to architecture.

The architecture has, no ambiguity in that, defined the development of the Internet so that when it was not commercial and not basic, it was beneficial for communication attractive to people, which it needed to become commercial and basic, and so that when it became commercial and basic, it became beneficial for TV with feedback.

There is ambiguity in if that was intended by many, or if that was a slowly unrolling catastrophe.

Honestly instead of trying to turn the train back we should think of good continuations. There’s nothing else we have anyway, the past is dead.

Those people, maybe with totalitarian or grifter goals, have built us such a sophisticated and powerful system that there’s no way it remains useless for us. Of course we shouldn’t limit ourselves with their choices, but optimism is sometimes a useful resource.

There are niches platforms fulfill which otherwise are not fulfilled, well, one can imagine so many solutions for any problem of these I can take off the top of my head, that the actual limitation is lack of optimism.

So-o, until I’ve even started approaching my toy for the next weekends and the weekends after them and many other weekends, nothing more to say.
