A new fable for you.
Here’s a fable for you.
There was a race of people who couldn’t communicate efficiently at all. It was difficult to get the most rudimentary concepts across to anyone.
One day some of the people learned how to make a sound with their mouth. One person did it and showed another person how to do it and so on. But no one really cared. They thought it was stupid or uninteresting.
Gradually, the people who were making the sound learned how to make a different sound. That was big news!!! It caught on fast among those who were interested in such things. Again, most of the people didn’t care about these weird, noisy people.
Eventually, the people who were able to make the sounds started being able to send messages to each other with the sounds that they were making. This was amazing!!!! They were overjoyed with this newfound ability! What a gift! What good could come from this new invention!!! It would change everything!
Unfortunately, some of the people who were envious and greedy saw that there was something going on that was pretty exciting. They wanted to get in on it, even though they were TOO FUCKING STUPID TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE OF IT.
There’s your Internet.
