The carving of the Internet into a series of corporate theme parks sure has been a treat. And if you don't like it, eat shit - you gotta help your mom pay her phone bill online. We're ruled by incurious polyps who have figured out that appealing to our visceral affiliations has a higher ROI than doing shit. They don't have the intellectual machinery to govern the physical world, let alone the sophistications of its burgeoning electronic wilderness.
