Ancient philosophers’ thoughts, found on the Internet, can effect the way we think
Where do you go these days when you want to find out about anything? Church? School? Parents? No, you go to the Internet. The Internet is the collective pool of unconscious, sub consciousness, and conscious ideas, beliefs, knowledge and wisdom of humanity from the past to the present. There has never been such a tool available for us. Of course there is a perfectly imperfect amount of crap out there to sift through as well, but that is intrinsic in this perfectly balanced reality that has always existed. So, if reality has always been perfect, why is the existence of the Internet anything special? The truth is, it is only as special as anything else in life. Now, you have to ask yourself, Is life special? I think you know the answer to that onethen again theres that perfect paradoxical balance. Why the Internet then? Well, my younger brother once said, and I dont know where he pulled this little tidbit of wisdom, The only constant in the Universe is that everything is in constant transition. The Internet exists because of a natural progression in human thinking; its an evolution of our collective minds. It is a constructed idea formed through the process of eternal change. Human beings have a huge history spanning at least half a million years. As well as the magic feeling of love there has always been the balancing emotion of fear. It seems that over time societies go through different stages where one of these feelings dominates and then permeates general actions by the community. At the moment
many people would find it hard to disagree with the fact that we are in a period of fear. With war, hatred and segregation prevalent in reality as well as the reality presented by the media news and TV/film, fear is reigning supreme in many of our daily interactions. This relates to the use of the Internet because it looks as though people are afraid to get on the Web. I used to be afraid for Petes sake! To tell you the truth I still have some irrational fears when it comes to researching a paper for school. I often think, Will I find the right information? The answer of course is that there is always a possibility of things going wrong, thats this perfection of reality. Life would be stale, stagnant and sterile otherwise. The key lies in our belief in this perfection. The Internet has eliminated the need to go to libraries and carry around huge books just to read small sections of each. There is also less need to get to a science library and then sociology, mathematics etc. So much information is now available to people in our own homes. Whether you are researching seventeenth century philosophers ways of thinking for personal or professional reasons, or even just looking up information on how to make your own chai tea, or on how to change the oil on your car; the Internet is a source for so many areas of interest it is simply mind boggling. It is truly the most perfect form of realitys perfection in modern contemporary society. Thats why they call this the Information age right? The only problem has to deal with the perfectly imperfect amount of pornography that constitutes more than half of all websites on the Web. What does this say about our current moral disposition in our changing perceptions construct of reality? Ill leave you with that one to ponder By Jesse S. Somer M6.Net http://www.m6.net Jesse S.
