Why am I talking about the "internet of things" and the lies told by bad actors around these words is that I'm interested in taking it back. But not as a whole thing. One thing at a time.

this is why I post on hashtags like #internetOfToilets and #internetOfTrash and #internetOfSticks and #internetOfRocks.

Social media today is a projection of the ego into a shared network. So you go on here and you see "people" in cyberspace.

A true "internet of things" can project communal #ontologies which we can all live into cyberspace so that we are not just a bunch of humans beaming signals to each other, but are able to live in a space that has things other than other humans in it. Which we already do, of course, we often use the network to check things like weather. But I want to expand this by many orders of magnitude until we as individuals are a *minority* on the network, which exists mostly of abstract "objects" in these shared online ontologies. Mastodon works great to facilitate this, and this is part of why trashmagic.community exists.

Quest is to create a network of quartz crystals by payphones all over the world. This is part of the #internetOfRocks.
