the internet, and all it's associated media can be thought of as an emerging central nervous system for a concious earth which is developing as we speak. why fight it? the advent of exponentional technological development (quantum computing!!!), population explosion, ad infinitum hints at a drastically more sophisticated world than the one we THINK we are heading towards right now. how long do you people really think our lives will consist of commuting to work every day and coming home to watch tv? it's no longer about the acquisition of weath but the acquisition of information and communal empathy.
like the cells in our bodies that are unaware of the experiences and conciousness that we posess as humans (naively regarded as the zenith of life), it's reasonable to assume that we act as components of a much larger pattern of organic energy. subparticles -> atoms -> molecules -> cells -> organisms -> communities -> planets -> galaxies. we can't see it because it's happening on such a macro scale and the rules of biology are somewhat arcane. but it's already happening. think about corporations, governments, etcetera. now it's going global and it's happening extremely fast.

actually, quake was ported to the apple newton a few years ago. it ran in greyscale with no sound, but it was quake nonetheless!
