those of us born roughly 1985-1992 were alive just in time to absorb the unfiltered internet, raw human cognition injected directly into our sensory streams during our developmental ages.
as children, we were offline by default. it was not common to own a computer at home. some of us accessed, learned, and created the first computers, the first digital media, digital worlds.
as young adults we were first to social media and were able to access p2p tech with little real concern for digital government surveillance.
we have since seen the transition from no one has a computer to everything *is* a computer. we are all cyborgs, one way or another.
without AI, we had to learn how to think. with the Internet, we had all of humanity's information organized into accessible graphs, but had to stitch the world model together ourselves.
now that we have AI, the outpouring of our souls are instantly magnified intellectually, our outputs multiplied at a moment just before the creative capabilities of humanity expand exponentially. our own creative capabilities are multiplied and we will become the social and political rulers of the new digital continent.
we hold the keys to human history in our memories of purely human experience. we will be the last humans to retain any memory of the pre-computer era. we are the first to lead into digital nativism.
