Think on These Things - I like this passage from Krishnamuti's book:
“We must create immediately an atmosphere of freedom so that you can live and find out for yourselves what is true, so that you become intelligent, so that you are able to face the world and understand it, not just conform to it, so that inwardly, deeply, psychologically you are in constant revolt; because it is only those who are in constant revolt that discover what is true, not the man who conforms, who follows some tradition. It is only when you are constantly inquiring, constantly observing, constantly learning, that you find truth.”
Although this passage is about something more general, it applies to the Internet as well. I believe that the Internet has created an "atmosphere of freedom." But it remains to be seen whether this atmosphere will become polluted by narrow minds who are not interested in learning and exploring, but are interested in having the vast diversity of ideas that roam freely across Cyberspace conform to their idea of "what's right."
