Do you think that the new empowerement of the voice of the masses (internet), will cause a new enlightment?

Question

Blogs and youtube have given the power of media to the masses. People can now portray their feelings and happenings to everyone else on Earth. This has created a globalization of culture and an increased understanding beyond the news put forth by the general media (CNN, FOX, etc...remmember them?)

I have suggested before that this may cause a fifth 'great awakening'...renesaunce..not only religiously (maybe taking the form of a more balanced and understanding cultural religion), but scientific advances (due to increased information exchagne), cultural changes, emotional prescept re-thinking and new social perspectives.

This is what I meant by 'great awakening' --

The USA nowadays I think has very unbalanced and weird ways of coping with social standards. I think things like liberalism, uptightness (political correctness) is an unbalanced and naive way of dealing with social changes, for example. Same with feminism.

Maybe we will reach a more balanced reaction toward these

changes, now with enhanced understanding of other cultures through the internet.

We can see how others cope with similar changes, and maybe learn, just as we preach so much our values, from others.

I think things like feminism are unbalanced reactions to changes in the economy and family requirements, because it ignores what is most elemental.

No one can deny there are changes between men and women. Not only physiologically, but psychologically and emotionally wise.

It has been proven that the minds of men and women are different. The higher brain (reasoning), is pretty much the same, except for some minor things like spacial and quantitaive inclination in men, and verbal and facial expression recognition in women.

But in the lower brain, the emotional construct, is essentially different. Women have a different emotional program than men. This is why women are more prone to sensitivity, and more prone to crying...making them more melodromadic.

This is why men are so horny at youth, and women later in life.....due to the sexual cycles and timings into the program. This is why women enjoy emotional intense situations, because it reveals information about the man they are assesing (say, in built to assess desireable qualities such as, the man won't run away from her in times of danger)....

this is why men can talk crap about each other and not feel over-sensitive about it....its part of the male domination program to test the resilience of the specie.

So, inherently, men and women are different. No dumbass is going to tell me otherwise. By natural physiological differences in the brain. This is why soemtimes men and women have hard time understanding each other, even though their reasoning capacity part of their brain is essentially the same.

So, the question then comes, do we need, (as feminism propheses), women having equal rights as men in the workplace..

For sure, but it has nothing to do with gender roles or

weird frieken theories like that.

Sex depends on the partners involved. Statistically, it would be normal for them an to be more possesive and the women mroe submissive, just due to the in-built programs (neural prescepts) that were placed in our brains.

But there are over-rides, just like you can see with over-ly bitchy helgas or homosexuals. This is not wrong, its just an over-ride, transcription error (this is scientifically proven--natural inclination to be gay), or psychological input or individual choice made by the individual to over-ride the natural program (guy chooses to be gay instead of being pre-programmed by subtle genetic things to be gay)....could be combination as well..

The point is, it comes down to the individual's choices...

And you should not found a whole philosophy called feminism, to say women have equal rights to men. They do---

Its just that roles are often pre-defined by nature...and anyone can choose what to do if they want.

The thing is, people should be sensible both ways.

You should not expect ALL men, just because of a few feminists, to want their women to work and be all bitchy and upstuck about feminism in your face.

They may want their women to work at home...and this should not be construed as anything but their natural inclination. The women in question can choose after that.

It depends on the people, and just as the liberals are politically correct, they have to be just as sensible to people who don't give a **** about PC, because they have a right like everyone else to be assholes...

To construct artificial and ridiculous social constructs just causes friction, because such constructs are unbalanced and unwise to the natural flow of nature.

We should give things up to the individual....and not 'expect' anything socially...

peopel can be racist, can be this, as long as they are not violent.

To do anything else, is just paving with good intentions the road to hell.

I guess it should be tit-for-tat.

We should give both ways. Tolerance doesn't only mean be tolerant to only one specific group. It means being tolerant to the people who don't use political correctness, who think feminism is ridiculous (its up to the individual, a theory is redundant), and people who think the liberal mentality is up-tight.

Social circles are fine. But PLEASE...don't impose anything on anybody. This is what causes friction.

If someone says a racial sentiment, he/she should not be slammed because its her/his freedom to choose. It will not be condoned by socieyt...

but if people just didn't take themselves so frieken seriously...maybe most of these ridiculous semantic arguements would ceaze...and we would argue about things really important to our progress as a race of humans on this crazy and cool earth.

Answer 1

The telegraph was the first Internet. It changed many things. So did the first use of movable type. (Talking Johann Gutenberg here, kids, not the blog thingy.) Both lead to development and enlightenment. And conflict.

Idealism is cute, and I appreciate the different level of communication that the Internet affords with others; but I fear it's not a solution, just a change.

I must admit, however, Gutenberg's movable type did transform Western Civilization. It didn't solve it's problems, it created many new ones, but humans would not have landed on the moon without it.

Short answer-- will the Internet lead to enlightenment? --- Depends on how we choose to use this new tool. And how we choose to use our brains....

he's a citizen of america. He can say something he needs as long as he would not sell the overthrow of our government. some ought to argue that he's making a instruction manual on the ingredient of it yet in straightforward terms he could know that. additionally, regardless of God whispering in his ear (soul) others ought to website that even predicting a considerable terrorist attack, including after September, must be construed as a lead as much as a terrorist attack on his area.

To me, this new site illustrates what is truly going on now in the internet world. You cannot just do web2.0 anymore. It has to start being either specialized, or completely out of the box.

Answer 4

It can be an awakening for those who are truly open minded. But there are those who are closed minded and only see what they want to see. They are doomed to become victims of the internet as the most vast and powerful propaganda apparatus ever created.

Answer 5

don't know if it will cause it, but it sure will speed things up. The ability to share ideas and understanding with one another is unprecedeted. I fear the human race is still a long way off from what you are dreaming of.

We can only hope.
