Then the idea of esosteric knowledge (as in knowledge confined to a small group)
made accessible on the internet (world-wide access) would actually be a
contradiction.  Perhaps that which was formerly esoteric will become exoteric.
And in 100 years no one will even think twice about it.  They'll be busy reading
it on their computer notepads on the way to work or watching it on their
wristband view screens.  Or experiencing it in virtual reality.
