So I've been thinking about writing a book, making video's, a blog, or whatever for years now about basically whatever is in my mind on current affairs, politics, philosophy, that sort of stuff.

I realized I don't have money to host my own servers, publish a book, or anything physical really, so I'm sort off looking at the idea of putting my ideas into the "depths of the internet" without putting the responsibility of it "staying alive" with myself, if that makes sense.

My vision of the future is that in XXX(X) years historians will be digging through old harddisks for interesting stuff like they are digging in the ground now. A serverfarm in some rural area that got disconnected from the internet and shutdown in 2020, but is still there will be a goldmine for people to see how "the ancient internet" was.

I don't like youtube very much because, well that's something for the "(fake) economy 101" thread I suppose, nor would I actually like being in front of a camera.
So I was thinking of making threads here on wrongplanet about topics, and update these threads whenever I have inspiration on a topic.

I'd have a single directory thread with links to all my other threads, which of course would come with time instead of being dumped at once.
(I'm not entirely sure yet whether I'll use the directory thread as a reply thread for other people about all subjects or have each thread work on it's own.)



It all depends though on whether I would be allowed to, theoretically, end up spamming wrongplanet with a bunch of threads on different forums about different topics on a busy day for myself or people replying to them. (Plus, if I'm able to keep editing the topic starting post for unlimited time or could get a mod to edit some for me here or there, (or get the ability to do it myself) or it would end up getting really messy anyway).

Why personal threads at WP? Blogs are designed for this very purpose. Simply write some blog with topic tags.
You can copy the content to different providers plus you can download it (blogspot has this feature) in single file and store this file as email attachement (again different providers) and upload it to clouds and file sharing services.
This way it definitely survives :P

You can also link the Blog URL to WP by going to "My Account" -> "Edit Profile" and then finding the part where it says using WP's service or you can link it to an external blog.
That's if you want to use a blog that's not using WP.

Ugh you guys broke my plan with your blogging sites.

I don't really like the idea of a website earning money of the traffic that I generate. (if any of course).

The thing is that everyone pays for "internet", and yet "we" still for some reason allow companies to then earn from that use even more.

Not to go into this too much, but a big part of my theory on "the crisis" is because of companies such as google, youtube, facebook, apple, ect ect ect, are being treated as "normal" businesses instead of "high tech, modern, digital age" companies that need to be in public domain because that's just how DIGITAL data works.

I mean.. if I were to download one copywritten thing of the internet worth 1 dollar, and then copy paste it 2 billion times (or host it and it gets downloaded) and found out by "the government", I would be punished for committing a 2 billion dollar felony. But the company whole I "stole" it from, never had 2 billion copies of it on it's financial balances, never payed taxes over it, ect. So how am I committing a crime, if the company can't show what I have stolen, let alone -my effort- being the reason 1 dollar got turned into 2 billion. (And, when they look at their own "networth", they can pretty much lie about the worth and quantity of their digital content, because "the government" and "economics" for that matter, only work for physical things, not digital and don't understand it all.)

If I steal a piece of wood worth 1 dollar, and then carve a beautiful whatever out of it worth 200 dollar by expert decision, do I get punished for stealing 1 dollar, or for 200 "because the company owned the piece of 1 dollar wood I turned into 200". Likewise, if now someone else steals that 200 dollar trinket from -me-, will he get punished for 200 dollar, or for 1 dollar?

WP is earning on traffic too...
On Blogger/blogspot, you can make your blog invisible - own private diary.
