Comment on I've been alive for the entire narrative of the internet and it's crazy to think any of the newer generations will be able to sort it all out for themselves.

  I mean, I haven’t been alive for all of history unless the self-centered universe is a thing.

    I was thinking more along the lines of someone in 1810 thinking the same thing you think about the internet for, like the French Revolution

      I have a bookmark made by the band Sleepytime Gorilla Museum that was sneakily tucked into my merch haul last time I saw them live, and it has a quote on it that I will need to wait until I get home to properly remember, and I also want to do more diligence to figure out if it is an actual quote. At the top it says “A WARNING ABOUT READING”, and the quote says something like:

      Beware the written language, man was never destined to record their every thought. How will we continue to remember ourselves when we are now able to cast our essence into this new medium, to remove the memories from ourselves so that we are cast into perpetual forgetfulness?
      -Allegedly some ancient guy from the dawn of books
