I had this awesome idea the other day that would have theoretically generated a lot of revenue. I did a little research on it and it turns out it's already been done. I thought to myself, unless you're pushing the edge of science and technology, your ideas have probably been conceptualized and brought to fruition. It's kind of disappointing for the average Joe with an average education. It means there isn't much left in the way of invention. I've had thoughts about inventions but nothing really ground breaking, at least to the point that I could make any money. So I just put the awesome idea I had on the back burner for the moment until the inspiration that stems from it strikes. Just because my particular version of the idea has been done, doesn't mean I should discard it completely. I can still build off of it.
Most of my ideas come in the form of something I could create digitally and publish to the Internet and hopefully make some money. Since money seems to me the only worthwhile thing to pursue in life. Let's face it, life is just better with more money. I don't care who you are, deep down you know it's true.
The Internet could be considered a modern day gold rush. It's really only been around for about a quarter of a century and it's already a Goliath of information on just about anything and everything. It seems that for any random thought you might have, there's something on the Internet about it. Which is awesome, and not only that but you can carry it in your pocket/purse, the Internet that is, or rather, access to the Internet. What a shame it would be if it disappeared or became regulated. It would just stifle the progress of too many things to list.
The thing that really grinds my gears about "regulating" the interwebs is that it is primarily driven by moralists whose motivations stem from a religious sentiment. Religion never seems to be good for progression. The opposite always seems to be the case. Religion never seems to exacerbate anything in the way of invention or discovery. Religion is a set of prohibitive practices. So it makes sense from the "moral" point of view of the religious to prohibit free-range access to the Internet. It reminds me of a Family Guy episode called "Road to the Multiverse" where Stewie and Brian visit a universe where Christianity was never invented and humanity was so much more technologically advanced than present day.
Free thought is discouraged by religion because it leads a person away from its superfluous beliefs. With free thought often comes objectivity and critical thinking. And when applied to any religious point of view. Critical thinking always seems to suggest a reality with naturalistic explanation rather than supernatural. Even Christianity encourages its followers to have a "childlike" faith. Why? Because that is what required to be able to believe in things that are so unbelievable. Children believe in Santa Claus, the Easter bunny, the tooth fairy, and all sorts of fairytale stuff. Because they don't know how the real world works yet. So as an adult your supposed to apply all of your critical thinking skills to everything except your religion and the reason why is obvious. Religion is no different than all the mythology and fairy tales you learn as a child. If you look at all the reasons you don't believe in Zues and apply them to any supposed "real" god, you wouldn't find any difference.
