[p2p-research] The Internet Is Absolute Democracy - Be Very Afraid!

[M. Fioretti]

"Bob Thompson, professor of popular culture at Syracuse University...
is concerned about the Internet's corrosive impact on "the precarious
nature of authority. It's potentially dangerous. It's a complete
democratization of information where unverified knowledge is often the
result of our own emotional state"

I instinctively _feel_ this is connected somehow with recent threads
about the dangers of iperconnectivity, ie the lack of evolution inside
systems where everybody thinks the same thing thanks to the Internt,
through I still have to work out how.
