You sure have a lot of... FAITH... in the global electronic network.
You obviously believe the Draper/White nonsense and that the... SAVIOR OF MANKIND... is the Internet.
I’m with lepton. You haven’t really interacted with - or understood - many humans.
What do they treat Asperger’s with these days, anyway?
Marshal McLuhan is the guideon here. His observation that technology is inherently democratizing is overlooked by technophobes of all stripes. We wouldn’t have democratic republican governments and their subsequent societies on this planet were it not for the Industrial Revolution which was a derivative of the Florentine Renaissance.
Technology, or better said, the method of mind that allows it to flourish, is shaping society in many ways that society does not detect. For the first time in human history there is mass access to virtually all data; very little control over who accesses what. The Internet is in its infancy.
I have interacted with and understood as many humans as you or any other career cynic on this planet. You simply need to see how much worse it could have been without the Nikola Teslas or DaVincis or hard working farmers or soccer moms of the world. Cynics think they see things clearly, without illusion. So do paranoiacs. You need to realize that ANY sense of what might happen in the future, even your planning what to have for lunch, is fundamentally an illusion. Illusions are the essence of creative invention. Read a biography of Nikola Tesla and see what he did with illusions.
Treat Asperger’s? You don’t want to treat Asperger’s, you want to harness it like a Niagra Falls. I’d vote for a candidate with Asperger’s before I’d vote for a machine politician any day of the week. We need to learn how to give every citizen a case of Asperger’s
