So, let me see if I'm getting this straight:
The internet is full of thoughts of fucked up individuals (I say "fucked up" because to me faith in the notion of free-willed individuality implies modeling (of an alleged reality) fuckuppedness) filtered ("search rank") by other fucked up individuals.
Did I miss anything there?
Sometimes I imagine things might have been different had the notion of search engines never taken off, i.e. if most people weren't so brain-dead as to be incapable of understanding how to create links/anchors such that most people actually navigated "the web" the way those who invented links/anchors originally hoped people would.
But, well, of *course* things are going to go the way of smarter people finding ways to profit from others' stupidity - a not half-bad way of describing capitalism, if ya know what I mean.
(And, yes, part of the motivation for including that link was link hypocrisy avoidance....)
