“They managed to assemble a network that mimics, abstracts and replaces what would otherwise happen far more floridly without machines at all. This is reminiscent of the onset of representational language in their species. That, like facebook, was a relational technology that abstracted and replaced its predecessors in a similar fashion.

Now, some of these moderns, a few, are using this similarity, and the perspectives that noticing it results in, to reconstruct the non-machine networks in -relational space-, instead of failing to establish -functional- relational networks in cyber-space.

The difference between the relational network activity and the abstracted network activity is the difference between the Sun and a pack of matches.

What the people with the relational networks can do makes what the people with technological networks are doing appear approximately like playing with feces. With your face.”
