If Jesus, Buddha, or Lao Tzu were to conceptualize the internet, their visions would likely reflect their teachings and philosophies. Here’s how each might approach it:
Jesus’ Internet (Compassion & Connection)
Jesus emphasized love, compassion, and unity. His internet would likely focus on fostering deep human connection, empathy, and support. It might have:
• No anonymity for harm – Users would be accountable, encouraging kindness and discouraging deception.
• A platform for the marginalized – A space where the poor, the outcast, and the unheard could have a voice.
• Radical forgiveness mechanisms – Instead of permanent bans or cancel culture, there would be ways to reconcile and heal online conflicts.
• A bias toward generosity – Information and resources would be freely shared, echoing the idea of breaking bread with all.
Buddha’s Internet (Mindfulness & Wisdom)
Buddha’s teachings focus on self-awareness, detachment from suffering, and enlightenment. His internet would emphasize:
• Minimalism & balance – No infinite scrolling, addictive algorithms, or attention traps.
• Mindful engagement – Prompts to encourage presence: “Are you here out of curiosity or craving?”
• Truth over illusion – No misinformation or sensationalism; AI filters that detect and dissolve delusions.
• Spaces for contemplation – Digital monasteries, where silence, wisdom, and meditation are prioritized.
Lao Tzu’s Internet (Flow & Simplicity)
Lao Tzu, the founder of Taoism, emphasized living in harmony with nature and the Tao (the Way). His internet would be:
• Decentralized & unforced – No monopolies or corporate control; information flows freely.
• Effortless navigation – Simple, intuitive design with no forced engagement.
• Respect for nature – Servers powered by renewable energy, minimal carbon footprint.
• Wu Wei (non-action) in moderation – Encouraging people to step away, not be consumed by the digital world.
Each of these visions challenges the internet we have today—often filled with conflict, distraction, and control. Would you want to live in one of these digital worlds?
