Internaut Bushido



There is a code we must abide by at all times. And I don’t mean the ten Internaut commandments. This code is about basic internet surfing etiquette and it has recently been brought to my attention that there are only a few users online who still follow the code. The Internauts aren’t just internet-using kids. We are the future. We are GenZ. We are the internet samurai. And this is our Bushido. 


Note: There is no particular order because all these points are equally important. 
  • If you are going to quote or use art owned by someone, you cannot change their quote or artwork. If you wish to rework / paraphrase, either mention that you have paraphrased or ask the original creator for their permission.
  • Use respectful language and if circumstances need you to be in character, be consistent about it. Sloppy work is unacceptable.
  • Fact check your reposts. Reposting means you vouch for the credibility of the post being reposted. If they lose their credibility, so do you.
  • Be able to back up your own arguments and points. We need thinkers not religious parrots.
  • Emailing large files in an absolute last-last-last-last-resort.
Abide by the code. Honor the Internaut Bushido. It is the only thing that stands between us and a total chaos. Fail to follow the code, and you will be branded a degenerate of the Order of Internauts.

Philosophizing The Big Question

Life. What is it? That is a philosophical question. It’s probably the oldest question in history. But does it have an answer? Of course it does. It’s been, what, a thousand years of humankind? Of course someone would’ve answered it by now. And people have, they’ve answered and created careers out of it. Entire lives based on that question. There was Diogenes, a beggar kind of guy who eventually became one of the founding members of a branch in Greek philosophy. This dude existed around the time of Alexander the Great and Plato and Socrates. There’s a story about him; One day Diogenes is out in the beach just chilling when Alexander the Great approaches him and asks “I have a huge empire, it is the greatest, tell me what you want and I will bring it to you!” Diogenes replies with annoyance on his face “Get out of my sunlight.” Alexander, being a proud dude, says “if I wasn’t Alexander, I’d be Diogenes.” To this, Diogenes replies “if I wasn’t Diogenes, I’d be Diogenes”. Diog...

Islam: Religion and Followers

At the SPEAKout@ROM, August 6, 2010, Ahmed Al Ahmady presented a poem relating to the stereotypes of Muslims and the real meaning of Islam. He supported that religion is actually based on peace. He also reminds us that the media coverage on Muslims is not always accurate, and usually biased against them. The media has shown Muslims as terrorists and the public agrees without raising questions. There do exist many different groups of Muslims all over the world and each group has its own belief. They are not all bad. He says that after 9/11, even the Muslims are afraid and there has been a rise in hate crimes. He also suggests that instead of being divided, the Muslim community should come forward and say something especially when they know matters related to the terrorist activities. "Because if you look the other way, you're better off blind.". According to him, the Muslim community should have unity and feel secure just like the rest of humanity instead of being marked a...

Hello Internet

What’s up?  And the internet replied, “ Quarantine “. On January 11, 2020, China announced to the world the first death from the COVID-19 virus. Since then, a lot has happened. Jobs vanished, economies were brought to their knees, currencies dropped and beloved stars were lost to history. Hundreds died and thousands were infected. Many businesses went out of order. Yet, the human race trudged on. Almost every country on the planet locked its borders down. Issued out a curfew and enforced it with aggressive passion. The largest pandemic of the 21st century had impacted thousands of lives in every country, in every continent. People were made to stay in their homes. A single word gained more popularity than Einstein ever had. That word:  Quarantine . Musicians and artists took to the internet to reach their fans and showcase their art. Charities shot up in support of the unfortunate victims to the corona-virus. Social Media had never seen such large usage rates before....
