"Wherever we want to go, we go you know?
That's what a ship is, is not just the keel, and deck, sails... that what a ship needs
What a ship really is...
Is Freedom."
J.Sparrow

I remember how it felt, even the slow squishy return of the keys of my Commodore64 made me happy.
It was my door to freedom.
Not so long ago (a few decades maybe) internet was unchartered territory, but we succumbed to comfort, to pre-programmed entretainment and fast-learning-curve software/hardware.

Nowadays most of the population has access to Internet, in a way or another. And most of the people today feel that something its wrong with it.

What is happening??

A lot of things... : un-compatible software/hardware accelerated the need for easy-of-use devices, merchants without soul like steve jobs (without capitals) sold ships that almost governed itselves trough the rough seas of internet, etc. etc. And between all of that, there is a subtle but all-encompasing, omnipresent, ubiquitous responses... Internet it's not working as it should because: "Its the lack of connectivity, everything should be connected", "everything its vulnerable, there are dangerous hackers out there", "give all your info to our latest IA to solve your problems", "use our X,Y,Z service on cloud and we will guarantee that!".

Every response has some things in common:
1-"its dangerous"
2-"we will fix it as long as you give us control".

Don't get me wrong, there are some dangerous Hackers around that only want to see the world burn. But... are they the main problem?

Something tells me: No.

Lately I have not been able to enjoy playing with the deep corners and inside of my CPUs devices like I used to. Something has slowly been taking away the joy of "the beauty of the baud", and certainly it is not my fear of "adversarial activities". Someone keeps telling us that there are terrible monsters in the dark to scare us. Someone keeps telling me that I should give all my information to the latest IA because it knows better than me my own life.

And they all are subtly limiting my choices.

I have always been a critical thinker, but this came from my gut, not from my brain. Some weeks ago I saw a tech-ad (most of them are similar) and noticed that there is something really disgusting with the hideous long-sleeved plaid shirts worn by office workers, the way that portrait internet-high-tech people dressed with those anodyne, numb, stupefying and anesthetic pale blue shirts. They are becoming all exactly the same person.

Internet SHOULD be a place for discovery, and its becoming a place of uniformity and compliance.

Yes there is danger in diversity, there is risk in communication and there are some evil bastards, but that is the price of freedom.

I have this feeling: the real danger is uniformity, without diversity of ideas , can not be progress. We should be able to expose our toughts and offend, because that is the only way to find wich ideas survive the test of time.

Don't get me wrong I'm all against hurting innocent cyber-internauts and I take pride on my job to protect them but.... The real present danger are the big corporate internet enshitifiers who stuff stupid content into us all day long by all means, just to keep us numb from our own ideas, fellings and primal enjoyment of our own CPUs.

We need order, and we need freedom. Both points of view are necessary in this dialectic to stretch the boundaries of the rigidity of order towards the possibility of chaos. To pave a path, it is first necessary to open a breach.

Take your ships and sail again trough the unchartered sea, do not drink the ubiquitous kool-aid. YOU SHOULD use your software do not let your software use you. Stay away from those crowded app's watching stupid people making an ass of themselves.

What a ship really is... is Freedom.
