If we take the computer/brain analogy seriously, as you suggest Stibel does, then perhaps this higher digital being, internet the almighty, can be seen as a rational being shorn of all human imperfections, reduced/raised to the ideal core of what it is to be an entity capable of ratiocination.<br /><br />Thus, we should all join with Stibel and aspire towards a better, purer way of being. Forget our human cares and allow our thoughts to follow the enlightened internet and dwell upon what really matters: pornography and kitten pictures.
