The Ultimate Truth

The internet contains words, thoughts, sounds, images that not just represent our civilisation, they are becoming our new civilisation. Like real life, there are good areas and bad areas. Like real life, corporate control and advertising in an everyday attack. But, unlike real life, you are connected to almost everyone who exists in that world at once. There is almost nobody you can't reach. It is like that one big collective consciousness that I, in part and sort of, believe we'd have already if not for personal greed. But, looking at the internet as a whole, there is something much simpler that gives me no use for my soap box.

If one could tap into every corner of the internet at once, wiring oneself to every bit, every kilowhatever, and be aware of each of those parts at the same time, one could learn the ultimate truth about mankind.


And the internet is blue.


So much blue.

Why so much blue?

I wonder, if we evolved past our human bodies and could be anything we wanted, would we just end up the colour blue? Is that the ultimate truth? We're blue?

The internet is us

Man, what a crappy couple of days. I'm sitting trying to focus on something, anything, and I just can't do it.

So browsing more sites, partly for inspiration and partly to kill time.

There really are common things running through many websites. Like, when given the opportunity to create our own space, our own little home where we can invite others to (which is kind of what websites are, whether trying to hawk products, services or just discuss things or whatever), we seem to do things in similar ways. And we seem to be drawn more to certain websites.

Of all of these similarities, there is one thing that seems more common and more prevalent than anything else. I kind of picture moving through the internet like the end of 2001 (the film, not the year) and seeing only that one thing.

And now, if an alien being were to ask me, "what is human?" I would answer just one word. What is it? Well, it would be no fun if I told you now but I'd love to see if anyone comes to the same conclusion.

I'll tell you tomorrow. How crappy is at? Stretching one post out for two days? Man, I'd be pissed. And not even a picture? Worst blog ever.
