source code: part logic, part longing
AI has messed up the internet. Big time.
Try searching for something simple — and you will be entangled in a black hole of information , info rut.
You’ll be met with a flood of affiliate links, AI affiliated links , SEO bait, and auto-generated “top 10” lists .
It’s not just frustrating — it’s dangerous.
In cybersecurity, we’re trained to seek a single source of truth — data you can trust, without manipulation or agenda.
But a normal people using Google to solve life’s deeper puzzles?
They’re left sifting through a landfill of misinformation.
And they trust it.Blindly. I have been there , you should see my Amazon shopping list to see how I bought into this misinformation of rain backed by FOMO then real scientific studies. There is a reason why there are ‘specialists’ in fields of studies, who have spent their blood m sweat and time to become masters in their field.
🧭 Where Did the Internet’s Heart Go?
There was a time when the internet helped us dream bigger, travel further, and learn freely.
A time when FOMO DISNT EXIST.
When the web wasn’t run by algorithms and sponsored content, but by people sharing stories, ideas, questions — unfiltered.
I don’t have the perfect answer to how we fix this.
But I know one thing for sure:
🧠 Human consciousness can’t be replaced.
It’s the one thing that still shines through the noise — if you look for it.
So, Where Do We Go for the Real Stuff?
Until recently, I relied on Google News to stay informed — newspapers, magazines, expert columns.
But even that’s broken now.
(Oops.)
So where can we go for truth?
Try:
DuckDuckGo – less tracking, more neutrality Onion Browser – for unfiltered access Reddit – often chaotic, but more real than most curated feeds Podcasts by actual experts Books (yes, they still exist) Influencers who live by integrity, not engagement
Truth doesn’t always scream the loudest. Sometimes it whispers in the corners of the web — in long-form blogs, comment threads, forgotten forums, and indie zines.
🧠 Influence: Human vs Machine
Influence has always shaped history.
Revolutions were born in coffeehouses, book clubs, late-night debates.
We’ve always learned from each other.
But now we’re being influenced by machines trained on our own desires.
By corporations feeding us what’s profitable, not what’s true.
I’m not here for it.
I still want to learn from people — real humans, with flawed, beautiful, uncertain thoughts.
And maybe, just a little from AI. But I refuse to let it run my life.
🕊️ What Comes Next?
Maybe the answer isn’t to fix the entire internet.
Maybe it’s to reclaim small spaces within it.
Spaces where curiosity is greater than clickbait.
Where learning is nonlinear.
Where patience, openness, and human nuance still matter.
You found your way here. That’s a start.
Let’s build from here.
