<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2955519, member: 71723&quot;]There IS a certain &quot;value&quot; to me in having had these kinda bad experiences with newbs about their attempts at error finding. It has NOTHING to offer me about numismatics per se, but it IS helping me crystalize what my particular beef with the internet generally is. It&#039;s a widespread cultural objection that I&#039;ve heretofore been having trouble being sufficiently specific about. I&#039;m zeroing in on it through these very tense interactions.</p><p><br /></p><p>Look, I know that one generation finding objections over how the next operates is a subject as old as time itself, but this just feels more fundamentally dangerous and insidious to me. At the very same INSTANT the Internet is becoming more inscrutable in terms of being able to divide truth from fiction, we simultaneously have an entire generation seemingly wanting to trust it more and more.</p><p><br /></p><p>That can&#039;t possibly be sustainable, can it? I mean, the so-called &quot;democratization&quot; of media just means any buffoon gets the same access as people who know what they&#039;re talking about.</p><p><br /></p><p>No one will need to &quot;kill off&quot; the Internet. It will commit suicide by erasing its usefulness by willingly allowing its signal-to-noise ratio to drop to zero.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
