I really feel like programmers could be pushing this individualist freedom/collective, memetic will forward in such a more interesting way than is happening now. I feel like we can look at the world, think about how it could be better, or what kind of system we could use to manifest our collective will, think about how we could interact in order to bring that about, and code it. I see way too many groupon clones and not enough ontological/metaphysical systems/games on the web. Maybe once thre is an established framework of federated networks that don't create massive cost when people visit it there will be more fascinating content/systems/structures on the net.

There is so much possibility for using the net as a way to dissect the structures we surrender ourselves to live within and then to use their necessary atoms to create new, more beautiful systems. We just need to get money out of the equation (I think).

The net is an amazing tool for deconstructing power systems, I would love to see (and am working towards) a net that creates the systems for building a new, flexible, federated set of linguistic/metaphysical system, or at least a marketplace where numerous possible ideas can compete and be spun as memes into the ideasphere.
