Me too. 

Interesting!  Thinking about it, I tend to agree (I have never thought of it that way).

I guess it depends on what your definition of  "good" is.  According to the Word of God men are inherently wicked and will continue to get worse. 

Actually this morning I went to a lecture and the speaker who spoke said he's probably the oldest one there and in his more than 75 years on the planet has seen the world getting more and more chaotic at a national and world level and he believes it will only get worse as we bring up the young people in this current culture of chaos. 

But people didn't evolve "good" -- they evolved "look good to others, and act good when it has a better payoff than acting bad."  And they evolved it in a very un-internet like context.  It's like trusting people to fish you out of a swimming pool with a long pole; they might be good people, but their visual system was not designed to calculate distances in the distorted context of an air-water barrier, and the pole will poke you in the head.

Or,by trying to be good, we end up being destructively critical; or the brain misinterprets the Internet as one of those ingroup/outgroup situations when it is self-destructive to be good and we should be bad.

I do find lots more healthy comments sections than unhealthy ones, but I don't think it's due to inherent goodness, and I think creative people's psychology is especially vulnerable to the well-meaning criticism the Internet tends to produce, which wouldn't be destructive in the face-to-face context it was evolved in.

I'm the opposite, everything I do is private. Nothing is public, and I have never once in my life used my real name on the internet.

No pictures, no blobs, no social sites, nothing.. I've even gone so far as to have my info, and my family info scrubbed from all of the major search engines, and background check companies. Google Street View I had blocked from my street.  I check every 6 months to ensure these blocks are in place.  I don't carry a cell phone, that's just a spy/tracking device that causes cancer anyway.

People are too open these days, it makes them targets.  It's just a matter of time before someone that is open either gets threatened, or some lunatic takes action against them. Not to mention the govt, and their spying, or corporate snooping into peoples lives.  I giggled when everyone started finding Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy Theory shows being remotely deleted off their DVR's and Tivo's, people were like "They can do THAT?!?!".. Well duh!

Opt out of EVERYTHING!

Here's hoping all the best for you, bodhi.

When I first read the title of your article I thought no, Draginol  has it wrong. That's becasue I was thinking along the lines of what KFC has already mentioned.

But then again taken in this particular context, I can see your point.

I can't make this connection at all.

Paranoid much?

You use the internet.  If you use it from home, you're not as "private" as you think.

reminds me of my son who has the same type of idea to a degree with books on his shelf like "How to be Invisible."  I laugh because he leaves a trail behind him wherever he goes.  I can actually, by looking around, tell what he's done all day by looking at the trail of evidence he leaves behind.   

Watch your back, KFC.  You know too much.

Lol
