RE: Government as The Maffia of the Internet
It is complicated of course, and there are many different forces on the battlefield. We, those who love individual liberty, are greatly outnumbered too.
I do not have the answer either, the way to victory, for we need to figure out how to live on a planet where a small minority seek to rule the rest. The rest, the vast majority of people, want to be ruled.
How do we coexist with those two groups?
Once people see that it's not always nessesary to make rules for every meaningless thing then more will follow. But for that to be possible there should be less rules in the first place :-)
And a bunch of people who go bazaar style and push against everything that has a hierarchy.
People want equality, so lets give them some of that. Equality also has it's downsides, but we can only discover them by exploring the equal way of life. I know i will bump my head every now and then.
But with too much hierarchy then people bump into hierarchical rules over and over again. And are numb and blind for the pain that causes.
We always coexisted, maybe just provide options for both. A fenced area for sheep, and a jungle for the wildlife. A left brain internet and a right brain internet that some how interconnects.
The web is a kind of brain of the planet so we need a creative counterpart to the bureaucratic web of today. In the past the web was far more creative before ads, and before centralised services.
Bring back the BBS way of net.
Small groups that form their own way of web. instead of huge platforms that only offer a one size fit's all policy. In a way ipfs opens options for this.
But it's time for something radically different. Something that's not the next twitter.
I never used Twitter so I'm not conditioned to behave like a Tweety. and thats now a bit of an obstacle.
I know there are a bunch of smart people out there (out here) and seeing the vast innovation i still find it a bit strange that this looks like twitter.
Somehow i'm missing an option to go sideways. or in a 3rd dimension
