> Kind of ironic to post this on the web, given it's history.
it's funny because you think it happened because tim berners lee and CERN. I think, it happened because arpanet and universities connecting with each other.
Internet wasn't an organised effort. it was a bottoms up manifestation. Do i need to remind you what CERN was actually supposed to do?
> It's possible that you were misled by the word 'solely'
Yeah, I don't think I fully understand the premise.
> Do you see how that could come across as dismissive?
I can see that but it's really hard to convey something contrary to popular belief.
Let's say I want to say something like "it's easy to be a victim rather than to take action and make change" I truly believe that and I really think it will help people to take actions rather than just being stagnant. I don't want to be dismissive. How can I say it?
> better is to ask clarifying questions rather than making objections
I somewhat agree. But, it's hard to discuss without counter arguments.
if OP said he is suffering "solely" because of his colour and I think, its borderline impossible to pin point a result of large complex system on any one thing?
