What an interesting title for this post huh? So much information on the internet. So much to learn so much to do. If you have not been under a rock for the past few years you know how politically charged the topic of internet is right now.
What a waste of political time.
We have massive problems in all countries and our leaders are concerned with all the internet hub dub. Snooping bills and such. I find it ironic that if any of these policies do get implemented that our security stance will actually get worse. It will get worse because the same people whose freedoms will be taken away from by these bills will strike back and adapt.
I am not talking about some anonymous (“group”) attacks or some other random group or whatnot. I am talking about the security community. For snooping organizations right now one can assume that right now their job is somewhat easy compared to the future shitfest that is coming. The individuals that have slaved over the Internet’s current operative code know how weak and not private it is.
Can you imagine what will happen when they are forced to change it? It is already happening with privacy network/protocols being implemented by different coding. From ip network improvement with cjdns and anonymity networks such as tor we have small examples of where the future of the internet is heading. The public and business just have yet to really catch on. It is how it works though.
Widespread encryption everywhere. Encryption export laws null because as the global modernization of lower world societies begin to join the technology race so will they join the base of program creation. The US and other first world are not the ‘leaders’ of the internet and the non tech minded need to get this through their heads. This is not a bad thing but it should change the way that these political geniuses take a look at this massive system of connected networks.
It is uncontrollable. The only sense of security that one will get by writing legislation controlling the internet is a false sense of security. The giant beast can only be monitored and developed to be more secure. Our future as an interconnected society depends on it. I mean this because of evolution. Not immediate evolution but the evolution of ourselves that we create through the control of our own fate.
As an American I believe in freedom and whatever sacrifices come with it. How many people have died and sacrificed to be where we are today? Why is it so easy to let these people destroy our free fate? Fear. Money. Greed. All enemies of freedom. We need to remember our past and what happens when you herd a group of people together and tell them how to think and what to do. They revolt. It is how our country was started and it is built into the fibre of every American citizen.
I do not speak of anything short term. Instead again I refer to the evolution of our future society. At any point in time the future of America is changed by every decision our leaders make. It is surprising that these figures are called to serve and fail to see past themselves. Media and technology is enabling us to complain and we need more complainers.
Demand progress etc. Stand up for your right to live by using these services. Raise your children to be free. Believe in changing our system of value and rule within the limits of our current control and you shall see how easy it is to get others on board with a plan. The plan.
I am an individual in a group that can see a part of the plan because of the amount of my life that I have invested into technology. Every socialite evolution has its technological ladders. Inventions and things that fast forward and develop a race to an even greater perfection. This group of individuals can see the future because they are a part of the future. They write the same code that improves the present. They have the ideas that other will latch onto and like.
Simple ideas like Facebook change the way an entire generation communicates. This same technology also locks the generation into a guided communication box. This is an example of technological guided human evolution. We see this and I personally hold a great distaste towards it. I see a group of people being sucked into this Facebook reality and drinking the Facebook koolaid. I also see my group revolting by joining together and using technologies like Diaspora. This is what we need.
We as the creators we need to band together and guide our non-technical brothers and sisters to a true shared freedom. Knowledge is power and we have a responsibility to use it to improve the world around us. If you are not improving the world around us with your knowledge you are as useless as a rock on the bottom of the ocean. A non moving object that has little or no influence on the future of our human race.
I have a giant list of technological innovations that I have thought up over the years. I am assuming a few other people have many of the same ideas as I have seen many of them implemented over my years consuming and reacting to internet content.
America has the society to do it. We are a first world country and can easily acquire the basic necessities that others in other countries spend their entire lives perusing. But instead of using this to our advantage we mimic the same pursuit that our disadvantaged friends do. We pursue the basic necessities until we are the evil created by those things. Fat from overeating, jaded by the over entertainment, and overworked by the pursuit of these same things and more.
I have asked myself many times what someone like Einstein would have been like if born in our current time period. While, one can never know it has brought up many interesting thoughts. Would he have been caught in the same web of crap that most of us are caught in? Would his great theories have been uncovered if he was working at Mcdonalds? If he was too busying watching some crap TV show?
What would have happened if he would have been guided towards a life of improvement and self decision in our current time period? How much easier would it have been for him to release and communicate his information? Would we have gotten more great information out of his mind?
Take these questions and compare them to the decisions that are being made about the future limitations that should be placed on our absorption of internet content and output of the same. Sure during his time he had to rise above many censors and such. They where different though.
We need to live up to our past and start moving the future in the right direction…
