He shares his personal journey from being a cowboy in West Texas to becoming a tech-savvy individual in Austin, Texas. He discusses the early days of the internet, which was primarily text-based and open-sourced, and how it has transformed into a multimedia platform that is largely controlled by big tech companies.Slim emphasizes the importance of understanding the internet's layered structure, from the foundational protocols like TCP/IP and DNS to the surface-level interfaces we interact with today. He laments the loss of the internet's initial vision of free information exchange and criticizes the centralization and control exerted by tech giants. He also highlights how the internet has impacted our attention spans and behaviors, particularly through social media platforms.The podcast also delves into the intersection of the internet and the beef industry. Slim explains how the internet has influenced the industry, from selling products online to the centralization of commerce and banking. He introduces the Beef Initiative, a project aimed at pivoting away from the third layer of the internet and providing an umbrella of protection, marketing, and intelligence for the beef industry.In conclusion, "The Cowboys History of the Internet" is a thought-provoking exploration of the internet's evolution, its impact on society and specific industries, and the need for a return to its decentralized, open-source roots.Links:Robert Khan: https://archive.org/details/newsconsole-futureofit_robert_kahnmoviesInternet Governance Raw Footage: Paul Mockapetris https://archive.org/details/igovernance_rawfootage_Paul_Mockapetris1995 Vannevar Bush Symposium, Tape 5 - Tim Berners-Lee: https://archive.org/details/XD1941_4_95VannevarBushSymTape5_TimBerners-LeeJoin the movement: https://beefinitiative.com/eventsUpcoming Events - Join UsTHE BEEF INITIATIVE Northern California June 17, 2023 (https://beefinitiative.com/pages/northern-california-beef-initiative-event)Social Media - Follow, Like, Subscribe and Share👉 YouTube and YouTube Shorts:https://www.youtube.com/@iamtexasslim👉 Twitter:@modernTman: https://twitter.com/modernTman@TexasSlimsCuts: https://twitter.com/TexasSlimsCuts@beefinitiative: https://twitter.com/beefinitiative👉 Instagram:@iamtexasslim @texasslimscuts👉 Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/texasslimscuts👉 TikTok:@TexasSlimsCuts: https://www.tiktok.com/@texasslimscuts🤠🌍 Join us on an incredible journey as we expand Texas Slim's Cuts and empower regenerative ranchers around the world with digital market access! 🌐 Your support can make a difference in saving children's lives by providing healthier food options and promoting sustainable practices. 🌱👦👧🎉 DONATE Value for Value NOW and become a vital part of this global movement! 💪 Together, we'll help ranchers with the equipment, talent, skill, and drive they need to make a lasting impact. 🚜🌾💰 Contribute here: https://producers.beefinitiative.com/donate#TexasSlimsCuts #DigitalMarketAccess #RegenerativeRanchers #SaveChildrensLives #Value4Value #DonateNow #JoinTheMovement #GlobalImpact #SustainableFuture #HealthyFoodOptionsValue4Value - Support our ad-free content!
