All in all the internet seems like a pretty smart place right? However I see it differently.
Just like the dolphins who were much too aware of the imminent doom and left Earth in the famous Douglas Adam’s book “Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy”, all the smart people have abandoned public forums of every type.
What is left, is these celebrity-status-seeking parez hiltons. Who’s names don’t even deserve capitalization! Moronic discussions are in such abundance that it’s infectious. There are idiots in real life too but on the internet idiots have a much louder voice. Arguing with stupidity on the internet is pointless and tiring. Smart people have realized that long ago and so now millions of blog posts, forum topics and discussions go unchecked. Stupidity uncontrolled, grows like that weed you’ve been trying to eradicated from your garden.
Internet gives people power, confidence and most importantly anonymity. Breeding grounds for ignorance, arrogance, immodesty, which all creates a complete intellectual chasm. The internet is becoming as saturated as the already existing TV and radio worlds. I have no doubt that intellectual people exist, however finding them and connecting with them is becoming harder and harder.
Perhaps what is worse than stupidity itself, is the recognition and support stupidity receives on all communication mediums.
May the universe have mercy on us all…
