Every internet forum exhibits a similar arc — projection from inception to decay. Since the internet seems timeless, since it is in essence lifeless, it appears to be ‘forever young;’ unable to die. This is correct, but like so much of mankind, incomplete.

In the ending stage, it achieves status quo — a stasis, like a floating carcass, too bloated to sink, yet unfit for feeding. Only vultures inhabit it.

We know what we know, but believe what we experience.

Doctors are bounded by the same lines.
