Internet Superpower

I'm sick of the constant back and forth. At least, I'm sick of the infallible hyper-geniuses so populous among the internet. Why does everyone have to be so hostile? And why is it so degrading to be wrong? All debate should be in the spirit of learning. I'm sick of ego ego ego. No one cares about actual progress. Everyone just wants to be right. I think chess should be taught in schools. The most important thing I've learned from playing chess is that losing is a blessing. Don't aim to lose, but when you do, and you will, you should embrace it. It's how we learn. It's how everyone in all of history has learned. Trial and error. Mistakes reveal corrections.

Progress.

But not on the internet! The second you utter something suspicious, you have a league of self-righteous, online superheroes force-feeding you all the truth in the world. I'm sick of it. It's destructive. Kind of like capitalism, or at least what capitalism's become. Taking every advantage over others to further one's own cause. Taking every opportunity to edge out the competition. Ego ego ego. I'm sick of it. I want other other other.
