I thought about net neutrality this morning, and the anecdote seemed simple.
People look at something, like a Rorschach test, and see what they want, or what their subconscious wants them to see.
It's nothing. It's a bat. It's a sexual organ. It's my phone bill. It's Wile E. Coyote from a couple of different angles. I don't care what it is.
Ok, so we've been reminded of that.
News is similar. Syria, ISIS, climate change, net neutrality.
Some people react similarly to the Rorschach test.
I don't really see myself in that. It's not a bat, or a sexual organ. It's more like a bat. It's ugly, I don't really fully understand what it is, and I'm inclined to page down and pretend I did not see it.
Ok. Other people see some of these things too, and more quickly see there are are manipulable facets in there, that need to be arranged properly. Things difficult to ignore. Not really chaos, but a situation with logical aspects. Moreover, that things will be unbalanced and result in worse things if some good moves aren't made. Like a Rubik's Cube with potential for some harmony and symmetry much worth affirming.
ISIS needs containment. Climate change needs to be decelerated, and reversed.
Net neutrality needs to remain neutral.
Certain powers are spinning their pieces of the Rubik's Cube furiously.
Big business wants a fast lane in the internet.
They want the cube to come up all AT&T, or Coca-Cola, or Facebook.
Even if you are looking for a new band's webpage, or your friend's blog, or some pictures on a site that is remote but precious and gives you hope and enjoyment that the world is ok. But will take forever to load, or even find, in search queues.
Don't let Big Business rig the internet, with slow loading speeds, more pop up ads, and the like.
Underneath this seemingly uninteresting tag 'net neutrality' are really some of the fundamentals of fairness and equality. That content, and free speech, should remain fair and free.
Please help and support the notions of keeping the *internet* *neutral* -- so we can all communicate freely and happily in this multi-cultural, 6-billion-person, strongly (or not) opinionated junkanoo band of modern society.
It seems the dark forces are there.
We bring the color, we bring the antidote. Each of us.
