maybe it is out now
but from my perspective and experience
the strings are no longer relaxed
but are tightening…

i believe you are commited to believing the cat is out the bag
because you are pat of the cat that outside
and have been instrumental in leading…

the game is not over
for sure
and your part to play in it is still valid
essential even

nevertheless
this article points out something valid
an aspect of the current memeflow
and my mind is drawn to notions of closure…

ok, yes, much of the original structure has been compromised, but overall, the ability of people to self-aggregate and peer-organise is now a given, just as was the ability to read and transmit the printed page after the Reformation, the cat is out of the bag and even new forms of domination and exploitation need to contend with it ..

michel
i tend to think of this phase of the net more like the wild west…
looks like things are leaving the phase of homestead pioneers
and into commercial aggregation and cow barons…

wrt the reformation
there was a liberation from catholic power holdings
and the net has done something like this
and if we are going to map print media
i would equate that to digitial media….

glad you’re optimism is still alive and kicking 🙂

free is unsustainable
but the solutions outlined are yet another sign of the comming of the end of the internet as we know it…
