[P2P-F] Re-igniting the p2p revolution

Thu Sep 1 03:47:32 CEST 2022

This list is dead.  Either people didn't fully understand the
potential of p2p networks or the need for it got magically sublimated
into everyday capitalism.  Nah.

But what happened to the revolution?  Where are the nerds and
cyberpunks who wished to change the world?  Have they assimilated with
their billion-dollar IPO jobs and climbing the new curve of
exponential growth?

The Internet under the standard client-server model has turned
everyone, one again, into consumers.  The curve of GDP has gotten
higher with its new access to these elite tools.  But it's a sinking
ship.  Everyone knows this, deep down.

An adult's cellular network generally becomes hierarchical with some
sort of strict immune system code at the top, holding dominant beliefs
about the world forming a sort of religious order which is called
their "ego".  People come to identify with this and protect it.

A child's cellular network acts more like a p2p network -- each is
equal in a mind that has no religion.  The attitude is "whatever
works" and, internally, "whoever can do the job".  Everyone else will
protect themselves -- you don't need hierarchies of security,
political correctness, or whatever new religion the world is
demanding.

Be like the child.
