On the Internet

The Internet is a tool for instituting the death of the concept of intellectual property – knowledge can never be possessed and should be given away freely. The artist and the inventor need protection from those who can not create anymore, who lost their innocence and vulnerability on the path to self-protection in a hostile environment. The artist and the inventor can protect themselves by seeking out one another. We can protect each other very efficiently if we share our end-fruits with on another and post writing and art on the Internet freely. Then, no one can take credit for someone else’s hard work because there is clean evidence that the real artist is the authentic producer.

I don’t ascribe to astrology and numerology because I believe a person can continually change course with that one thought that triggers determination. However, it is rather strange that the greatest communication medium – the Internet – was created by DARPA (Defense Agency) for secure, military communications.
Now, the whole world is getting on the Internet bandwagon, which can travel at the speed of light via fiber optics. It is also rather ironic that we are now moving out of the Age of Pisces, the era of dissension and warfare, into the Age of Aquarius, the age of communication. I hope that we come to understand that open communication is our real international security.
