What does ~rogbeer put here? That which probably doesn't fit anywhere else on the Internet


"Man makes a clever face and talks about being lord on Earth. And at the same time he doesn’t even know where to begin with his own body: he watches sports on television and defends himself saying that everyone else does it too."

A new way? nineteenth of March 2018: Night

When did it become an assumption that I have to have a password on the Internet or even my desktop-computer? I was inspired to think if something has gone wrong, in the design of Internet-and-computer technologies, when I realised that an engineering problem - how to display certain information on a web-site - could possibly be solved by letting users run commands on the server (as opposed as viewing data on a client) Passwords, levels of privilege, ‘admininistrator-rights’ - don’t all these scream ‘I don’t trust you. I don’t trust others’ Now is that what I want in my life, I ask. Do I want to indirectly say ‘I don’t trust others’ every time I use a technology. Or do I want to spend time building (trust in) relationships that arguably are made and broken by (mutual) trust. Does using technology necessarily mean that I have to give up on trust and/or trust-building. Is it possible we could find a new way to use technology so that we find the satisfaction (and intimacy) that comes from a rewarding relationship with a something. A god. A business-partner. So on and so forth.
