At the risk of sounding like another Luddite/grass botherer, I truly think that Web Rot runs deep, the noise has overshadowed the signal and, at least what we think of as the web, is beyond redemption. However I suspect the downfall is a misapprehension, based on our own category mistake of what the internet is. The web has always been a potential, never an actuality, the freedom of communication, instant connection and access to knowledge, always was a path we hoped for rather, than the technology we experienced. Always flatland, the wall behind the fire in Platos cave, or the description of a colour absent from qualia. Adore that Borges comes up, one if my favourite blind magicians of all time. Have you read "Pierre Menard, Author of the Quixote" by him? Perhaps the thin, entropy prone content of the web are slow cycles of memetic stretching. Maybe the questions of authorship, reliability and humanity are not the right questions, maybe the internet isn’t the right arena, maybe it never was a space at all 1 reply
