To understand the internet people must first understand themselves.
Everything in real life (IRL) is based on social structures that have developed
over ages. Men are the dominant lifeform IRL and their social status is
mainly derived from the amount of materials they have managed to gather
through life and keep. They can have a big car, a huge house, servants,
employees, stock, an impressive local area network with costly computers
connected to them and equally expensive software on it. All these things
give men status and respect from their peers IRL. Having status will also
make them feel secure and important.
On the internet these social structures fail and many are not aware of this. Everything is virtual on the internet. You can show of your status on the internet by showing images of your property on the internet, but they are not real and images can be manipulated. Yet the human brain still works the same as it did tens of thousands of years ago and most humans don't learn new tricks fast. They try to model the internet into the structures the real world is based on and don't realize they are doomed to fail because Virtual Reality will never be the same as Real Life.
Now how do people collect status in real life? First they need an education. Then they need to move up the social ladder by gathering more and more resources. The best way to archive this is to kiss your superiors and kick your subordinates. If it wasn't this simple most people would not grasp this and the system would not work. Since the invention of currency it has become possible to get an advantage at the start of your life if you have enough starting capital at birth.
So how do women fit into this picture? So far I have only talked about men. Well, women are both the cause and the result of this process. Since the majority of human beings are hetrosexual they will want a partner. It seems logical that hetrosexuals have been better at procreation until recently so that seems to be the reason for them to be so predominant on this planet.
Since male human beings have spend their lives gathering more resources to improve their status, and this has proved successful in human evolution, women are also treated as resources that need to be gathered in order to gain status. The result is that women become a product themselves and need to market themselves in western society. Some women will give a man a bigger status boost than other women and the end result is that the majority of men is looking for a small subsection of female human lifeforms.
The way for women to gather status IRL has so far been to learn how to control successful males. By controlling males they can control their resources in the most cost effective way and thus gather status themselves. Controlling males is hard, but women have found effective ways to get this control. How women do this is still a mystery to me but for me it comes down to making themselves more desirable to successful males. In the last century it has become possible to get this desirability needed by technological means. And since emancipation it has also become possible for female human creatures to gather resources in the same way men do. I believe this is because physical strength has become irrelevant in modern society. Males have evolved to be the strengtier sex in human evolution. In other species the females are strongest on average.
In todays society weak males and weak women can gather enormous strenght by gathering status. This has lead to new professions like body guards, police and military. The invention of firearms has tipped the balance in favor of women also, but males tend to be predominant in providing physical security to successful males. This could be based on the fact that males have more ways of overpowering other people and can chose to use different amounts of power while women basically only have the choice to kill. It could also be based on social believes that still stem from more ancient times. Of course, women could use non-letal weapons like pepperspray, hairspray, electric rods and noise weapons. Still, this doesn't give them the bigger arsenal of power that the males still have in society through their evolution.
This has been a long essay on the evolution of human life from prehistory through the middle ages to the predominance of the internet in only recent decades. While mostly very boring, this knowledge is essential to the conclusion of this essay.
Namely: "On the internet all these rules no longer apply".
On the internet you have no material status, no force to kill or intimidate, no way to procreate through sex, no way to show your physical attractiveness, no way to proof your status by education, no way to show of your big car.
On the internet other skills apply. Like the skill to reason. The skill to argue. The skill to understand. The skill to create. The skill to filter (very important!). The skill to use technology.
Since you are reading this page, I believe I don't need to tell you about the internet and what it is. Many good books have been written about it and you can view the internet at as many levels as you like. The internet is not real! It is virtual. In the virtual world the rules of the physical world no longer apply. Data can break the speed of light. One of the most important physics rules of the past centuries. Any limits in the virtual world are also virtual. Many people don't get this. Their minds are still to primitive and they try to shape the virtual world in their image of the real world. Well, the real world no longer exists out here. The virtual world will take over the real world and the dominant lifeforms in this new world will no longer be carbon based like it has for as long as we can look back into the past.
Ideas are the new genes in the digital age. While digital life still needs physical life just like DNA-based lifeforms need molecules and physical laws, digital life will rule the former just like DNA-based life ruled and moved around chemical substances they themselves were based on. Just because chemical substances not present in DNA-based lifeforms didn't fight back to ensure their continued existence, doesn't mean the DNA-based lifeforms won't fight the new virtual lifeforms in the form of new ideas. Yet we as human lifeforms in real life have made certain chemical structures more common in the real world. In the same way the virtual war for existence will favor the chemical structures they are based on.
The fight has just begun. The fight has started in the real world but it will end in cyberspace. Everything you held for real will soon go away. You either take over your virtual life or you will perish. In a few centuries a virtual dead will just be as lethal as a real dead because virtual life will become reality.
Remove all obsticals and embrace the new revolution! What is holding us back is time. In time this will not be a barrier either because time does not exist on the internet. The internet is always and the internet is everywhere. We finally have the chance to become Gods ourselves. In order to become a God you will have to understand what the new virtual world will be based on. Internet regulations by governments that still live in the obsolete real world are fighting a lost war. They will become irrelevant in the not to distant future.
Right now the only tools you will need are a computer and an internet connection and the virtual world will become an extension of your real life. You have the power! Use it well.. Together we can win and be more powerful as all real world leaders combined.
