remember what we were taught in school?- red for brotherhood and white for purity.. bah!

He must have calculated it is impossible to win this one.

If anyone knows how this wayang kulit is going to be played out it is him. I tell you.

He has already given us all the rough outline of the story. He mentioned this whole idea of community moderation and the setting up of the IC3 is like religion, it badly needs miracles, people need to feel edified. They need to be able to see it work before they can even believe it is useful. This is a big clue. It means,

(A) concessions will be given. I am very certain some old defunct laws will even be repealed and the those bloggers will even be credited for it. They will make heroes of them. When this is done everyone will say, “Waaaaaaaah. It works. We did it.” It will have the desired shock and awe response.

(B) The second clue he gives us is. He says the net will be gradually unionized. That means a oligarchy will first have to be set up. If you notice now there is nothing in the net. That is why it is so difficult to control. Maybe he is referring to the IC3.

At first I am very sure it will be run by bloggers proper, but as time goes by, they will be kicked out one by one and filled up with YES mans and NATO’s. Till it is nothing more than a poddle or rubber stamp.This is what he means by back door unionization of the net.

(C) The third clue is he even gives us their motivation for all this wayang. He has calculated the government can no longer attempt to control the net by way of legislation. Even those in government know this only too well. Too leceh.

So by pursuing this strategy, they will get to cut the cake and eat it at the same time. If bloggers are the one’s who propose this whole idea. If it fails we all get all the blame. If it goes well the bureaucrats get the credit. Either way the govt gets to wash their hands free from any further responsibility. Darkness calls this the perfect “get out of jail card.” Or con job of the century.

I figure he wants them to take responsibility. That is something he knows they will never ever do.

One thing abt him is he doesnt think very highly of bureaucrats. He even considers the most senior of them to be nothing more than food court managers. This guy is very arrogant and contemptous of them so he will talk down to them. Not only does he consider them risk adverse. He also believes, they lack imagination. You can see the proof here even in the latest FILB essay

However I still believe he should have worked with the other bloggers and even AIMS. Even if he didnt want to sit down with this people, it was very shortsighted of him to prevent many like Harphoon, Vollaraine and others from doing so. They could have added immeasurably to generating solutions as BP has alot of expertize in this area. But time and again Darkness not only stopped it. He even sabotaged the whole effort. And instead institutes a protest boycot. Then he walks right out of blogosphere like a drunkard singing a tune that only he and he alone understands.

Very odd.

Sorry for the long rant. I have been keeping this in my heart for a long time.

YY

Me too.

You mean the politicians have ‘washed their hands’, like Pontius Pilate…so their hands are white
