Big brother never bothered me much, except for one or two
questionable posts I had to ask Google to delete from 1992 and
they did. My last time without Internet culture was 1998 and I
was on the CB radio before that, talking to random strangers in
the area. I think I was last socially isolated at 11 years old
back in 1983 when I finally got my first computer and was
teaching myself BASIC.* I didn't get my first modem 'til a few
years later, but having the computer to "talk to" (and able to
whip up some basic AI to talk back at me) was a great reliever
of school isolation. But once I got online, it was over.* I was
hooked.* 27 years and counting and it never gets old. Will info
replace money? Well, info can EQUATE to money but that requires
information to be kept secret and released slowly and the person
releasing it slowly gets paid money. But as much as I dream, I
don't know if money will go away 'til we fix a lot of shit in
the world.* I have hope though.* I'll be dead but maybe a few
hundred years down the line.* Mebbe :) I'm glad this showed up
on my stream here.* If you have an activists' fire in you, run
with it, whatever it's about.* The issue you touch on is a big
one; related to the victim-culture that's been growing in in
popularity for a long time. Mind you, I'm anti-bullying.*
There's rarely a good excuse to be an asshole when you realize
you hurt someone.* [when it's genuine - there's a lot of
fake-hurt-for-a-cause out there too; probably more fake hurt and
fake stories about "cousin who committed suicide over the same
thing" they pull out of their butts.* Yet, SOMETIMES it's true.*
Gotta be discerning.* But -* - At the same time, joke's a joke
and it needs room for expression.
