Open Source, Sustainable Tech: A Choice on the Brink
Imagine an advanced alien civilization developing a device capable of solving humanity's most pressing problems. If they were to place this device in New York's Times Square, would we, as humans, recognize its potential and actually utilize it? Unfortunately, the answer is likely no. This reflects a fundamental aspect of human nature.
It's important to understand that even such a miraculous device wouldn't magically solve all our problems on its own. It would merely be a tool, requiring human effort to operate and address specific issues one at a time. The irony is that this device, the internet, already exists. Open-source technology and sustainable practices offer the potential to reshape our future, yet we often find ourselves self-sabotaging instead of embracing these solutions.
The "death of the internet" theory, often treated as a joke or a conspiracy, does contain a grain of truth. Before the internet, many believed that a lack of information was the root cause of ignorance. However, the reality is far more complex. The internet, while a powerful tool, is often plagued by bots, trolls, and misinformation. This website aims to salvage the potential of an open-source and sustainable future, using the internet to create real-world impact. While the truth may not always prevail, there will always be pockets of resistance—like this project—keeping a dim candle of knowledge lit and providing free solutions.
