The Internet is great but very often people filter out smart people. That kind of behavior is easily observed and quite common. I know a fellow who once told me "nature conspires against intelligence" because it disrupts the status quo. There are whole countries that attempt to filter the Internet today, so none of this is theoretical and there is quite a bit of money to be made to enable systems to keep people isolated in smarter ways. I didn't say I like that; just observing the behaviors and noting that as the predation becomes smarter, it may be very useful to do that. Many people already have 'twit lists' and many smart people already miss 'important information' because of the filters. Many smart sources of information can't be accessed because the filters are rather dumb. Given those kinds of ecological pressures, one would expect to see rapid adaptation. len From: Razvan MIHAIU [mailto:mihaiu@m...] If you limit the communication is any way inevitably some smart people will remain outside your world. Not to mention the disaster that will struck your world when the selection criteria goes out of hand. This is why I say that Internet is great.
