when i 1st got the net, my thoughts was it was a giant unlimited encyclopedia.
since the net, people are writing again, sharing artwork, discussing intellectual ideas. it is a new age of enlightenment for many.
yet on tv and many other places all you hear is all knowledge on the net is lies, fake and whimsy yet pretty much every university on the planet has a webpage on this same internet with access to archives of knowledge and works by the teachers that work there. youtube has limitless lectures by the greatest well respected academics in their fields. and thats the truth of it.
so why is there so much work being done to discredit the knowledge on the net? if you were a corrupt king, would you want your subjects to know you were a scumbag, or would you want them to focus their thoughts on the gladiator fights?
