We need a good name for this. Darkweb is drug dealers. Underground sounds narrower and more politically subversive than this is. This is mostly just a private web, a sort of domestic-backyards intranet. Cut-and-paste web? Cozyweb? Backyard web? Friendly neighborhood intranet?

The underground internet is really inefficient. It consists of people cutting/pasting urls from one private context to another: slack, FB groups, dms, messengers. Or private <—> public It’s like how surface croads are point-to-point by car, but subway use needs on-foot transfers

Not true. It just requires you to build your second brain and take responsibility to pull into your sphere of control that which you wish to keep available to yourself.

Now you’re just failing to shame me for lack of wanting to systematize your process for unnecessary fear of losing that messy order at the center of your creativity.

No I just think you’re wrong because I’ve worked on this tech and know what’s possible and simply hasn’t yet been done. “Civilization advances by extending the number of important operations which we can perform without thinking of them.” - A. N. Whitehead

Which is exactly what I’m describing and that you’re failing to make room for the possibility of [something in this category] existing. I am doing exactly that, jumpstarted by BASB stuff, but rapidly taking it far beyond that now.

Lemme put it this way. You’re saying pedal harder in a human powered bicycle-glider to fly. I’m saying I’m too lazy and powered flight is possible. It’s the very effort to operate models like Tiago’s that I suspect can be alleviated with better tech. Until then I’d rather walk.

Hmm 🤔. I’m a bit sad you superimpose your imagination of “how hard it has to be” over showing basic curiosity toward someone you know to care about similar things who says that, maybe, it isn’t as hard as you think. I guess your commitment to mediocrity really is that strong...
