    Waitaminute. Are you telling me there are stupid people on the internet talking about things they don’t understand?

    The internet is the worst thing we’ve ever done to ourselves. I mean, it was fine at first. But we didn’t have enough cynicism to account for what corporations would do with it and that’s, sadly, our own fault for being too naive.

      We also underestimated the number of idiots in the population. Or their ability to find little niches in which to congregate.

      I don’t know if it’s true, but it feels like the Internet was better when it was limited to enthusiasts and people in higher education.

      Letting every idiot post every word that comes to mind for the whole world to see was probably a mistake.
