I often get called an idealist or an utopian, but really. Why couldn't we have nice things? A world like sci-fi of the past envisioned for the year 2020? Good technology that serves its users and human progress. A food chain that is efficient, ethical, and that has feeding humans as its primary purpose rather than profit. A society that embraces, instead of exploiting, the radically different reality of the information age?

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Internet has changed everything. Humanity has effectively levelled up and gained telepathy. In the beginning it was beautiful, then some "people" figured out how to "create value" out of human interaction and it all slowly went to shit, to the point where I feel like there's a machine bringing out the worst in us and suppressing the best, all for nothing but the ego of a big room's worth of people.

But I am seriously asking. Why does it have to be like this?
