I always thought that the act of connecting every human being on the planet with every other human being on the planet over the internet was going to help us to evolve the human race beyond our current misunderstandings. Now I find that might not be the right thing to do - allowing us to connect with other humans just increases mimesis. How do we stop mimesis from running out of control into a world where we have become Homo Nexus - the fully connected human? We need to get over our natural tendency to mimic all of the people around us and will ourselves to BE DIFFERENT.
