DAVE GETS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO GO | 2008-06-16
1. For the first time in history, the general public has access to real information.
It's additive!!! And is it ever moving fast. Ordinary (intelligent) people everywhere are becoming MORE INFORMED than the insiders. And the standard of what is means to be informed is relentlessly pushing skyward. I have seen these standards move incredibility in just the last 3 years.
The pretenders and frauds have to be very careful in this environment.
Wordism cannot stand against the Internet.
I am to the point where I think the Courts are going to fall to the Internet. And Congress cannot continue in its present form. These institutions are becoming too ridiculous.
In the 1970s the WW II generation stumbled into its dotage and the software industry furnished a coordination platform that revolutionized production and distribution.
Congress, the Courts, and the whole regulatory apparatus moved not one iota. They remain stuck in their 19th century manifestation.
The Baby Boom generation is stumbling into its dotage (it's mentality is in the Teddy Roosevelt era), clueless that the Internet has abolished ideology in a positive feedback loop that is relentlessly pushing the intelligent segment of public skyward.
The Courts and Congress are beyond reform. Law and accounting practices, academic consulting, and the whole regulatory apparatus (with its ridiculous and relentless posturing) are increasingly becoming jokes. These whole damn arenas are just too atavistic.
Too many highly intelligent people have access to an audience unencumbered by the mommy professors, academic journals, and university press gatekeepers.
You have got to see the positive feedback loop in intellectual standards to understand the Internet. It is a mechanism for forcing intellectual standards skyward.
Political Correctness (and ideology in general) cannot stand against this. I am sure it is impossible.
