In your opinion would it be a net benefit if the internet were destroyed forever right now?

@UncleIroh I think it'd be better destroyed and my life would be better. As much as I like the online clicks I have I have also found enough social success to fit in with people. Really, the socialization destruction of people's attention spans has sucked. I went from being able to talk with people chilling to now everyone is on their phone with low quality repeat interactions. Shit's weird, and women while they'd still have a ton of issues wouldn't be so broadly accessible.

There are countries in the world that have basically very low internet access or no connection for most of their territory.

Ethiopia being a brics member with 81% of the population has no internet. Eritrea has a 2% internet usage, while even big countries like India and Pakistan have less than 50% internet access.

All the "issues" one associates with the internet are all government/culture created problems.

Which is to say it's endemic such that these issues and all the intractable nth order effects will increase as global access increases.

Public goods too. There's no easy answer.

@UncleIroh @FinalDresdonation
Exactly. Sometime men will have to face problems head-on and solve it for good. You can't run away forever, specially when it gets to the point wars/conflicts are at your door. It's inevitable.

@Zeb @FinalDresdonation

This is why many people, myself included, often frame this time we live in as a spiritual war.

It demands that every man face these issues head-on. No-one gets to run away.

@UncleIroh @FinalDresdonation
It's not only a spiritual war. We're on a hot war already, it was a cold one until covid activated. Men are just in denial, despite everyone knowing. Just look around.

It's inevitable that at some point men will once again regain the desire to drink from the skulls of their enemies.
