I’m working some ideas through my head for an essay. I’m wondering, what are the ontological consequences of anonymity, specifically in the era of Web 2.0. In fact, I’m also interested in the ontological consequences of amateurism (read ‘Web 2.0′). Web 2.0 is stripping away Dasein and slowly removing the humanity from existence. Not that this is a humanist manifesto. The individual is in contrast to the community and there is a reciprocal relationship, but Web 2.0 is destroying this bond by tightening it to the point where these two are not distinct. Web 2.0 is the linearization of ontology. The hermeneutical circle destroyed, we’re left with no answers, but simply no questions.
Web 2.0 is a bleak existence.
No Surrender
