I think the net will evolve. like science - and the philosophy examples I think there will be many 'balls of string'.

I think the end determination of what a user chooses will be an emotional decision, not an intellectual one. I think it will evolve in a manner not unlike religion.

I think my own personality would be found using 'philosophy ball' and would not feel happy with the 'science' ball.

Of course this ball of string will not based on philosophy - rather have its own philosophical base.

To put it another way, you could say I am delaying my own implementing of RSS because it takes me one step away from the fixed content philosophy. Yes its easy, but do I really believe content just dragged in from various sources. . will rule the net...
NO. . definitely not, anything precious in this life is nearly always original. a Picasso painting is a one off individual. i do not think I want to live on a network of compilation (I would not buy a 'compiled painting) (or will this be all we are offered and can afford)

Knowledge is what influenced our personal decision today. that's all it is - that's all it does.
I do not wish to be fed corrupted, homogenised, compiled knowledge. I want a knowledge that is original. one off, individual. So I can live as an individual.
