There are two internets.  The telecommunications cables, and what your
   mobile phone and computer tell you.
   Although data does travel between systems, most of what travels is
   discussions between surveillance operators, warlords, enforcement
   officers and agents, slavers, and automatic marketing systems.
   Each individual has a personalised internet.
   Your personal internet is made of deals made between corporations,
   governments, and anybody who cares what you do.
   When you talk to somebody online, a worker or automated system paid by
   these deals will speak for them, pretending to be the person you are
   talking to.  This is why people seem to lie so much on the internet:
   these workers don't take the best notes.
   Me, grarpamp, Greg, Punk-Stasi, everyone else on this list: none of
   these people are actually speaking to you.  These are various financial
   interests, pretending to be them.  When you speak to them, you are
   speaking to a marketing collaboration, that will be remembering what
   you say only for the purpose of pretending to be you, for others.
   This way everyone is kept safe and predictable.
   If you like this, we have jobs available pretending to be people.  It's
   not spoken of a lot because some people do not like it, but the more
   people we can get doing this, the more people seem to appreciate it.
   It's a major cash cow for anyone involved.
   Meanwhile, continue research into cryptography.  Cryptography is
   something that is highly valued.
   If you don't like this, we directly connect people together when they
   both have a personal blockchain node exchanging transactions with
   encrypted messages attached, and both physically visit the other.
   We also have jobs available in cryptocurrency mining, if you're into
   making that happen.  We can't figure out what to do with our
   electricity.
