- shadowgovt 4y agoI was there and I cannot agree. I caution, in general, against mythologizing the past. It was a wilder place, but so was the Wild West. Is Vegas less interesting than Tombstone? I find it to be a different kind of interesting (and this one is far more convenient than what we had when it was AOL and BBSes).
- ohCh6zos 4y agoThe current internet has been taken over by corporations and made safe for advertisers. I could read the thoughts of neo-nazis and free love hippies back to back and really gain a better understanding of people with different philosophers to me. The current internet is overwhelmed with advertising friendly pink capitalism neoliberalism.
