I'm Calling Bullshit On This


THIS GUY HERE claims that nobody invents anything by themselves:
The truth is that history, like innovation, is messy. What starts as an idea for a product, or a service, or an institution is dependent upon thousands of forces seen and unseen, recognized and unrecognized, historical and contemporary. In reality, the Internet was invented by thousands of people. To buy into the other version of history means you buy into the “myth of the lone inventor”—an idea that creates simple, even entertaining narratives, but which does a great disservice to the thousands of people who have invented our modern world.
And yet where was this dipshit when I single-handedlyinvented the back fart? I mean, come the fuck on with that shit already.
