Internet: Knowledge and Community

From Internet: Knowledge and Community

The age of reason saw the rise of science and the spread of its reach into every corner of human exploration. For a short time the chaos of the unknown was conquered and "civilized" society arose out of the wretched state of nature. With the rise of the internet and the drastic changes in how information is distributed and how knowledge is gained and shared, humanity is shifting away from these old mechanistic views of the world and leading to many new emerging philosophical questions about the nature of our relationships to each other and to the government that claims the right to decide our future.
