I think a new kind of human being is taking shape, under the presumption that what most counts about us can be quantified and codified, but that presumption, while it eliminates many forms of friction and oppression, is also progressively devastating the deepest forms of human communion,

That's not the Internet's fault, that's Capitalism's. The Internet just accelerated it.

Go back 20 years, and the Internet didn't give a flying fuck about who you were and what you could be manipulated into buying or thinking. It showed you the same ads no matter what you were into. It was just a place where people posted cool shit they'd created. Venture capitalism made it what it is today.

It’s a shame bar washroom stalls didn’t get disrupted by VC money; it remains a pure place where people continue to post whatever they want without a care as to who sees it.
