At one point in their lives, people believed they made mistakes. They believed in right and wrong. They associated the give and take of energy at an organism level with the concept of higher brain functions called anthropomorphism.

Hi! I’m a new character you haven’t met but have seen. I have no name but I’m one of the Internet monitors who watch what you do by how your I/O changes with your environment when engaged with the phenomena, the nodes and connectors, of a loose network that more frequently replaces direct voice, sight, touch, and taste senses.

Would you rather read about someone winning a game than take the risk of playing the game yourself? If the game is just words and images on a flat surface (rendered in 3D!), is there less risk to your sense of safety?

The Internet gives your imagination more freedom to explore in a real but virtual universe while taking away your freedom from people like me tracking your thought patterns.

If you sat in a subterranean room and thought whatever you wanted, no one on the Internet would know what happened in your mental adventures. They could theorise, of course, and plot probabilities.

The Internet is just one tool of yours in the interaction between people and their environment.

Tools are benign implements. They make no mistakes.

You are a tool.

Deal with it.
