This is better than many of the other bathshitinsane sites I've seen. It actually makes good reading--try to look at it like a '60s postmodern poem, and it comes out beautifully. The style and the formatting even help.

It actually makes good reading--try to look at it like a '60s postmodern poem, and it comes out beautifully. I know what you mean. Hell, he might have cribbed some of his opening lines from Browning: Grrr...Power Ideas Being Birthed here "Gr-r-r — there go, my heart's abhorrence!"

At the very bottom it has: "b December 7, 1922 Honolulu Hawaii USA" If he's 85, I think we should cut him some slack. Also,

WODEN WAS A NORSE GOD what ever happened to you, Woden? . . . . nudity prevalent on public beaches in some countries Americans are the prudes :-) . . . . Rome was not built in a day. THE OPENING PAGE WAS so forgive a few misteaks

That was surprisingly attractive. Never underestimate the power of properly spaced, broad-lettered fonts in primary colors, I guess.

Replace half-true Socialist-fluoride poison & tax-slavery with full-truth, work-speech-press & profitsharing Socialaction! All-One! So, help build 4 billion Hannibal wind-power plants, charging 96 billion battery-banks, powering every car-factory-farm-home-monorail & pump, watering Babylon-roof-gardens & 800 billion Israel-Milorganite fruit trees, guarded by Swiss 6000 year Universal Military Training!

The page is not just the opening page of the Internet, but is in fact a complete subjective experience of the entire Internet ITSELF!. In a condensed and fractal form it reduces the user experience of the web to a single page of streaming sometimes connected sometimes random information presented is a myriad of styles and sensory experience. You find yourself stumbling across ideas that you vaguely remember from further up the page somewhere but struggle to locate. It is so information rich that it actually defies linking, and comes simply as a stream of consciousness. And when you are done all you remember is that you had something to do, two hours has passed by and you seem to remember nothing at all of what you have been reading. Yes friends, if I was going to give a Martian Visitor ONE PAGE to show him how the Internet of the Earth really works, this would be it.

I seem to have been reading the Internet backwards, because I had never seen this page before. Perhaps he should sell the backpage of the Internet too, just to be sure people like me don't open it upside down. In spite of this small shortcoming, I believe this man has the vision to fix our world economy.
