The collective intelligence revolution
SKYNET is coming, make no mistake - the rise of the intelligent machines.
An emergent collective intelligence that will hasten the famous ' singularity'.
We used to have the practical infinite that surrounded us and the practical infinity of our imaginations...now we have a netspace that is, for all practical purposes a third infinity.
The dielectical possiblities are mind boggling - luckily we should soon all have new mind's.
'News' sites, owned by the big corpse military-entertainment complex outlets, have gone from mainstream to mainscream to lamescream.
Pushing the traditional media aside, and gaining more and more power and credibility as they do so, are the freeblogs we created so we can share with each other what we, and not the korporate klans, believe we all need to know.
Information from ordinary people for ordinary people in a kind of nuclear data blast. Individuals post and potentially, thousands of others people read the results, passing them on to thousands of other people.
P2P. Peer-to-peer. Person to person. People to people.
Enter freeblogs, produced by anyone with access to a Net account and enough intelligence to figure out how to use one of the many free blogging applications that are available online. And enter the new journalism.Enter the United Network's.
Blogs are usually unabashedly on one side or another. They exist to provide information, not control it. Balance comes because readers have a choice.
Of course, the corporations are going blue, desperately offering glitzed up, smooth-talking super-blogs, hoping to swamp the alternate news sites. But they're too late. Every day, more and more people open freeNet accounts to discover information, which used to be highly restricted and tightly regulated, is now freely available.
Before the freeNet, hard-core industry organizations ruled, using the media as propaganda and dis- and misinformation vehicles. With their immense political and financial power, they decided what you'd see and hear. And what you'd believe.
Those days are gone forever.
We do want and need answers arising from the natural selection of good ideas, but for the first time in hirstory, we're getting them because we now have the information at our fingertips.
Until the freeNet came along, we were isolated from each other. Now we communicate instantly around the world, privately and publicly, comparing and sharing, with all that implies.
Think about it, Mr dead duck Bush, Mr dead duck Blair and Mr dead duck Howard.
And think about it all you as-yet uncommitted information providers - together we are smarter than anyone of us. The collective... for want of a better word summons up all that is good and true in the evolving spirit. The evolutionary collective works. The collective is good.
And the collective looked down upon their united networks and saw that they were good.
