As We May Think (1945)
I wonder if this should be aggressively ignored these days as a fruitless path. What if we were to do a clean room reimagining. It&#x27;s hard to ignore the history here but sometimes sharp turns are needed to move forward.<p>I&#x27;ve spent 20 odd years trying to piece all this history together as a side hobby and met everyone from Engelbert to Sutherland to Atkinson to Ted Nelson. I&#x27;m wondering what a radical departure could gain us.<p>Base it on say, Karl Popper and Media Literacy theory instead along with webs of trust.<p>The TBL system we currently use is too susceptible to information pollution with profiteers and propagandists as a perfect memex would also be as well as everything Nelson&#x27;s ever cooked up.<p>We&#x27;ve maybe let it run its course. Kill your darlings and smash your idols to build tomorrow
