  A rubber room filled with rats.

- My intention is not to repeat them, but to state some disagreements.
  
  The Small Web is not about retro aesthetics.
  The Small Web embodies the same ideals as the early internet.
  
  The Small Web is not about small software or small hardware.
  The Small Web is about local interconnectedness.
  
  Without external links, the Small Web is nothing.
  
  We've become so dependent on content aggregators.
  
  The web used to be a web, now it's a phonebook named Google.
  
  The Small Web is not a personal hobby.
  The Small Web is a revolutionary movement.
  
  The Small Web does not seek widespread appeal.
  The Small Web seeks an intentional community of dedicated participants.
  
  All the same, the Small Web seeks to expand.
  
  The Small Web can gain widespread appeal despite not seeking it.
  
  More strongly, it is due to its rejection of appeal that it has appeal.
  
  People are sick of appealing. They want raw and demanding.
  
  Everyone can find a niche. The web allows these niches to exist.
  
  Intentional communities are essential where the public information space is polluted.

- Let's retreat into a monastery.
  
  Copy old geocities pages by hand.
  
  If we are entering a new dark age, let's adopt the praxis of one. In the early middle ages, it was the church that kept the light of reason alive.
- It's no accident that the game Look Outside was released in 2025.
  
  Quote "A mysterious event turns anyone who looks out the window into grotesque monsters, leaving the world in absolute chaos. Scavenge the building to seek food, supplies, and weapons while encountering strange characters - human and otherwise."
  
  Is this not the world we are entering? Doesn't everyone who even looks at Clavicular, the Looksmaxxer, turn into a grotesque monster?
  
  Quick! Close the blinders!
