To many of us the tsunamic Cyber feels as a risk to our Knowledge Commons which, since Gutenberg, has been held & passed on in print and until very recently tended by a secular, literate culture.
Whatever you may think of its gatekeeping tendencies.
Our Knowledge Commons is being rapidly transferred into Cyber hands, newly minted & mostly in too much of a gold rush to stumble on any concern over our Beings' meaning. Further, in its rush to monetize, the Cyber is short circuiting the function and reason of the Knowledge Commons - which is becoming and the creation of meaning.
The Sell neuters the offerings of the Cyber because the root reason of The Sell is to sniff out, capture & burn off any spark of inspiration for conversion to profit. This is often confused with the narrative function of the creation of meaning, which it is not.
We run in circular pursuit of SomeShiny to signify nothing.
The only & bottom line value of The Sell is to accumulate and display power through material wealth.
I don’t care what they tell you or what you tell yourself.
