“I see in the fight club the strongest and smartest men who've ever lived. I see all this potential and I see squandering. God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables, slaves with white collars, advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of the history man, no purpose or place, we have no Great war, no Great depression, our great war is a spiritual war, our great depression is our lives, we've been all raised by television to believe that one day we'd all be millionaires and movie gods and rock stars, but we won't and we're slowly learning that fact. and we're very very pissed off.”

It's a shame it can't add on any innovations that didn't make the cut to the current web, such as Ted Nelsons parallel documents.
Seems like any interest in making technology more than a replica of reality has disappeared. Maybe its even going the opposite direction, that what we have in reality is too complicated to recreate so the digital becomes more constrictive than the real thing.

> To paraphrase Peter Thiel, new technology is probably so fertile and productive simply because there are so few rules. It’s essentially illegal for you to build anything physical these days from a toothbrush (FDA regulates that) to a skyscraper, but there’s zero restriction on creating a website. Hence, that’s where all the value is today.
If websites are this man’s ideal, thank god for regulations.
