@Rowens, Yes. Well, gawking at some jailbate from a small distance or following her around breathing down her neck - that is something to be disapproved of. It’s creepy. Alternatively, following her face book or instagram and masterbating to each new post -markedly less creepy because it is unknown.
It’s not about “settling for disappointment” it’s about making the most of your actual reality.
@Billy. I think you are looking at it from an individual perspective. You might remember your father after he is dead, but no one wants to be regaled with stories about your memories with him. No one cares. Your dad isn’t remembered by anyone but you. On the other hand he if posted some video on youtube about how to refurbish a tool, that’s something many more people will value. People can form a relationship with him after he is dead on the internet. Relationships are give and take, off the internet after you die you have nothing to give.
I have yet to find someone who doesn’t want smoke and mirrors, at least to some degree. Even Rowens with his fantasies of banging a 21 year old — off the internet.
When you look at what society values, it’s clear that we all value the internet more than life. It’s a communal thing. You want to be remembered on the internet, because no one cares about life.
If society values the internet more than life, it’s individuals do. Look at how much we spend on the internet. The infrastructure, the security, the devices, the content. It’s mind boggling. Look at the remaining balance on the difference between what we spend creating death, and what we spend saving life.
Go on and tell me how real life relationships are more valuable than the internet. The hive mind disagrees.
I just thought, this sounds all negative but we are all missing the good of the internet. The safe harbor for whistleblowers, the nests and cocoons for creativity it creates, the opportunities it provides to overcome xenophobia and allow collaboration between cultures. These relationships are arguably more valuable (they create whole communities) than any personal relationship made off the internet. Real life relationships are too often created around duty, tribalism, and fear. Relationships created on the internet are formed by common interest and purpose
The internet is the cage in Schroeder’s Cat. Inside it, you can be alive and dead at the same time.
