I’m thinking about starting a podcast or something called “On The Network” to counter all the idiocy I hear in traditional media about the internet. If I did, here’s the beta version of the 10 principles that would guide it.
1、The internet is neutral. It is neither good nor bad. People have motivations, the internet does not.
2、We change the internet more than it changes us. Human motivations may change, but they change very slowly.
3、People are messy. The technology we invent is messy, too. Deal with it.
4、The internet is not in opposition to traditional media, it’s just more media. All media works better when it works together.
5、All reality is virtual. Thought is and has always been virtual. The internet enables us to think together.
6、Technology is not the opposite of humanity. Inventing and using technology is one of the defining characteristics of being human.
7、The internet can be used for good or bad, but it is a net positive force in the world, because it connects us to each other.
8、More information is better than less. Freedom to connect to others is a fundamental human right.
9、Access to the internet broadens horizons. Hearing other people’s stories makes us more empathetic, smarter.
10、People make the internet what it is. If you don’t like it, make it better.

“There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.” — Douglas Adams (via aeloquence)
