March 24, 2024•83 words
William Morris was born on this day, 190 years ago. Here's what the internet might have looked like if he had helped build it.
- Never any DARPA / military involvement
- Definitely woke
- Socialist, and aimed at "making more Socialists"
- Artists retain control
- No heaps of profit? No problem
- Beautiful, or useful, or GTFO
- Possibly more accessible to neurodivergent users (incl Morris himself)
- No cops
- No wasteful inaccessible luxury
- No centralising / monopolising tendencies
