Thanks for sharing your thoughts! One is especially interesting to me.
You're not the first one to suggest this, and I share the sentiments. I suspect that most modern technology is a kind of third density training wheels for fourth density life. It may even serve as a reflection of a form of investiture from higher densities, much as advanced second density animals begin to take on the beginnings of individuated behaviors and personalities through serving as pets.
At the risk of being pedantic, I think it's important to regard the internet and other prefigurative technologies like this as a reflection of a deeper phenomenon, not itself the conclusion so much as a manifestation along the teleological way. Another way of saying what I'm saying: perhaps the internet is simply a component of a yellow ray social memory complex, as distinct from a green ray instance. We can see the development of this complex as parallel or manifesting in all forms of technologies, including social and conceptual breakthroughs like democracy, currency, language, etc. The internet represents merely the latest example of technology creating new social possibilities, just as literacy, sanitation, currency, democracy, etc. have yielded in the past.
Although the internet is a highly articulated social technology, it's achilles heel is security, trust, transparency. It seems to me that the coming green ray permeability of the individual consciousness prompts a wholesale collapse of any form of deceit, rendering trust a non-issue in scaling up communications. It also boosts the empathy of the entire population, since suffering cannot simply be "turned off", making genuine trust more likely.
The internet provides a perfect example of the crisis of legitimacy in modern institutions, such as government, corporations, markets, academia, etc., growing since the 1970s, at the latest. Our society quivers with the tension of recognizing that we've reached the limit of yellow ray technological progress. The next step is a quantum leap of trust that will allow all of the complex's capabilities to be fully realized. So it's also about what the internet is not; that quality it so urgently and obviously lacks that prefigures fourth density.
Thanks for bringing the topic up! What do you think of my ideas? Also, don't answer if this is too personal, but are you interested in transhumanism?
