Indeed. This is why we should discourage and stop cancellation efforts, all efforts (which seem to be growing), to cancel or distort all sources of information.
Elon Musk, for example destroys his claimed "Technologist" reputation, by leading a campaign to muzzle OpenAi, which is after all a kind of sophisticated network, simply reflecting the information available to us on the internet, another network.
Notice similar cancellation efforts are at work around many platforms and networks.
None of them are perfect, but that's the point, the reason they are not perfect is because they are not the whole network, the network of networks, it is incomplete, but made up from them all, hence why the information within it is ambiguous
Metcalfe's law should be made formally international, statutory law, to ensure we progress towards the goal of all information becoming unambiguous, coherent.
Cancellation efforts are like efforts to lobotomise our own brains, far more damaging than just leaving it alone.
But then we shouldn't be surprised, one of Musk's own businesses is pretty close to establishing lobotomy as something desirable (neuralink), even if that is intended to improve our individual connections to "The system", it is likely to cause more damage than good, by affecting the naturally balanced ratio of things we actually detected of the real world via our senses, vs what we might think we detected via nuralink, besides carrying an obvious risk of actual physical lobotomy.
The world of humanity appears to be going insane, as surely as an individual becoming addicted to a brain damaging drug, which fools them into thinking they are becoming more intelligent whilst actually the opposite is hapoening.
Ever noticed actual intelligence seems most often inversely proportional to the confidence an individual might have in the extent of their own knowledge?
Isn't Musk actually partaking of such substances?
