You had me until: "By believing the internet is somehow “intelligent”, we are literally rewiring ourselves to be as stupid, scattered and shallow as it is." There are a lot of assumptions in there, and they lead us to an unnecessarily fearful place based on the premise that we will (must?) make a number of cognitive errors.
Anthropomorphizing the internet is dumb, just as it would be to credit any other non-biological information storage and retrieval system with intelligence. It would also be a mistake to imbue it with the human attributes of being stupid, scattered and shallow.
But on another note, god love you for the ceaseless, unapologetic theater apologist you are.

Uh, Bill? I'm sorry-- *who* love me?

Bill Salyers

I used a SMALL "g"!

Paul Mullin

Unh-hunh.

That's what God said when made you "gifted."
