KEYNOTES: "Milking it?"

Well here it goes.

KEYNOTES: "Milking it?"

The work is presently divided on three parts. The first one is complete, the second needs some retouches on language and the third is very raw for the moment.

I publish it in its present status and completely as I think that people shall have a value of Mr. North's analysis. As Mr. North readies another "revealing" analysis, I decided it is time to publish my stuff before more snake oil comes up. I know that I don't have the reach this guy has, but I hope that some will think twice before reading another "analysis" from this guy.

Frankly when I finished part one of my work something come to my mind. A feeling of "Los Alamos syndrome": what we have done?..

Years ago we, big average and small guys pushed for the Internet. On my little corner there were also bitter fights. We fought for a more dynamic technology, we fought for a much more flexible network, we fought for a more free network. We fought against pitty commercialists and wild anarchists. We fought against the State and against the uber-liberalists. We fought against secret services and against hackers, terrorists, crooks and thieves. We didn't allow anyone to win, however we gave everyone the Internet.

Today, I have an uneasy feeling that I am like a small Los Alamos scientist... "What have we done?" We believed that the Internet would give information to the people. We thought that people would grow up a little bit more. However Internet fell. Today Internet users are not people who finished or nearly finished University. It is people that barely finished school. It is not people who can work with computers. It is people that barely knows what is a computer. It is not people with a little of technical litteracy. It is people completely illiterate on nearly everything. For them, Internet is not a library of knowledge. It is a Temple of Information. Which some people smartly and wisely use to reach the masses.

That's how Mr. North gets his "five minutes of glory". This "Think Tank reputed member", draws up a story out of nothing, lacking the very bit of literacy to do it well, and people go for him. And the media reaches him and claims that he is an "expert" or even a "professional photographer". Because the media is made of people "no less" literate than Mr. North's...

Yes, some things do help Mr. North... There are fakes, there are stagings there is a infowar running around. But Mr. North got it from the wrong side. However the media seems to have an interest on it...

Anyway, no matter the clear interests of the media and Mr. North, one thing is amazing. People are eating it... In big pieces. And they seem to want more and more... Aleluhia Mr. North, give us more of your "information"...

It gives me a strange feeling I am one of those who created the Bomb... And gave it to Mr. North in a Christmas package...

Yes, I'm going against Mr. North. And I know that I am right. More right than anything else. People may think: "Oh well it is your position, anyway information is relative..." Yes, it is relative. So, some may consider that Mr. North is right while others say I am... So we came into a problem of faith: "Why you don't believe..." And we seem we get stuck here...

But there is a problem. I can deny everything. I can deny Qana, the tragedy, the bodies, the pain, the staging, the show, the people and the media. I can deny the war, Lebanon, Israel, the US, Russia, the World and the Universe. I can deny Socrates, Marx, Christ, the Prophet, God, Allah, Buddha and every Devil Mankind ever imagined or believes. I can even deny the very Existence of everything...

But I cannot deny one thing. It is so deeply embedded on us that cannot deny it, wether he believes on Science, Religion or whatever. There is one thing it is undeniable on our World. So undeniable that we cannot prove neither deny it, yet we all know it exists. And it is the only demonstration of reality that no one can ignore. What follow us from the very start of existence until our death and beyond. What follows everything we see and tells us what is Present, Past and Future.

On his work, Mr. North denied it... So I keep the hunt. Because:

"Those who trade Reality for a bit of Faith, loose their Right to Existence..."

I will not be among them...
