Notes: I was actually trying my best to figure out & experiment with different charts to explain the internet but the most convincing one was looking at the birth of the World Wide Web thanks to Tim-Berners Lee. His idea being that there needed to be a method to "transfer information easily" a trait found in early sagittarius. Also coincidently this is the exact placement for the USA ascendent describing "freedom of speech" & the "declaration of independence". For Americans, USA Pluto is semisquaring this particular area which is bound to influence people with its essence of unhealthy traits, addictions, anonimity, nonsense, bullshit as well as tricksters, perverts & whores on the site. This nasty & unsavory quality is correctly represented by Bo Burnham's music video "Welcome to the Internet". There's even this popular meme of what the internet was truly made for. If you're interested in how the internet & world wide web came to be click here.

Ian: "what do you think these riddles mean as a whole? Explain this detailed summary of events."
Chatgpt o1: "These riddles describe a vast, interconnected system that makes it simple for people across the globe to share information in real time. Users—ranging from curious children to skeptical educators—harness this platform to exchange messages, learn languages, and forge friendships or collaborations with those they’ve never met in person. Yet the same ease of communication raises concerns about privacy, foreign influence, and the reliability of sources. Teachers caution their students against talking uncritically to strangers, while rumor mills and conspiracy theories thrive in conversation threads. Additionally, those who were once marginalized by mainstream outlets find a place here, earning both supporters and detractors. Groups with opposing viewpoints, from earnest commentators to malicious operators, attempt to sway discussions or discredit facts, leading to heated debates that can be exhilarating or troubling. Simultaneously, intelligence agencies, journalists, and watchful onlookers observe these discussions, scrutinizing the flow of ideas for signs of potential harm or subversive behavior. Some participants argue that this unparalleled freedom to connect fosters vibrant creativity and more transparent dialogue, giving voice to those silenced elsewhere. Others point to the proliferation of manufactured stories and ideological echo chambers, warning that widespread misinformation can undercut rational discourse. Regardless, the riddles highlight the staggering power and complexity of a near-boundless communication network—one capable of uniting distant communities, incubating radical movements, and drawing the scrutiny of authorities, all at once."
