THE WONDER-WAYS OF THE WORLD WIDE WEB
Dedication
Perhaps for the first time since they
burned the Great Library at Alexandria, the true beauty that Western Civilization
can be, is becoming apparent and beginning to show signs of flourishing.
True, this process started with the Enlightenment and Renaissance, when
Western Civilization broke the death hold of over a thousand years of stultification,
but with the easy availability of the information on the Internet, the
speed of transformation will increase exponentially. Eastern Civilization
did not lose it's momentum and continuity in the same manner (although
we do not minimize the difficulties that it has had), and now that Western
Civilization is well into the rebuilding and proceeding process, the day
is nearer where East and West will create a truly Human Civilization for
emergence from this Womb of the Mother: Earth. The East and West always
had different parts of the various puzzles, and perhaps eventually it will
seem that we in the West were only, ummm.... distracted for a while. A
thousand years from now, or two or three, possibly True Humans will look
back at this era as their beginning. Out of Pandora's now uncloseable Box
are issuing torrents of Information with which persons may develop knowledge,
understanding, wisdom, community, individuation, confusion and total sillyness,
in short: a viable Human Civilization. Unlike it's technological predecessors,
the World Wide Web is not a spectator venue, but is an experiential venue,
encouraging participation and learning. It is possible to abuse it certainly,
all enormous powers are potentials, and may be used for Creative or Destructive
ends. It is no substitute for face-to-face human interaction, but it may
prove to be to such activity, a symbiote nonpareil. In line with these
thoughts, we encourage those Individuals interested, to get as involved
and creative as possible, to which end we will post here only materials
that we have found to be: amazingly helpful.
