Internet


Hey Charlie,

That Video is insane i guess it is stupid to think of the internet as anything other than a part of who we are? it hasn't been imposed upon us, it has come out of us?
Is it alive? Are we nothing but mechanics in this machine (Neurons) What if we gave it a body? Does it need one?


I remembered the opening question in the myth of sisyphus by Albert Camus

"There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest – whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories – comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer [the questions of suicide].”

Is all that is required for us to accept all of the possibilities this creates; is for there to be a space for us to totally disconnect from time to time?


back to the Womb or Shelter to switch off? I think of this and realise how empowering the virtual world is and why so many people have embraced it so quickly? I agree with the sentiment of your original post: it is the future?
