Based on the content of the linked articles, the answer is that the author, Imran Ali Namazi, contends we are currently caught in an "Internet of Vice," but we are not stuck, as he proposes and has already begun building a structured alternative: the Amadeus Web Network and its Internet of Missions.

The entire project is presented as a Spiritual Operating System (SOS) designed to supplant the World Wide Web (WWW) and create a Goodwill Economy by 2066.

1. The Internet of Vice (The Problem)

The current World Wide Web is characterized by the author as a "Web of lies, WEB of control, WEB of consumerism," and a "snare by big brother." The fundamental issues identified are:

• Surveillance and Control: It operates as a mechanism "trying to catch everyone and everything."
• Manipulation: It is constantly "in our face telling us who to believe," leading to feelings of helplessness at the state of the world.

• Dysfunctional Currency: It is driven by financial speculation (labeled "financial voodoo" and "crypto mumbo jumbo") rather than intrinsic human value.

2. The Amadeus Web Network (The Solution)

The alternative proposed is the Amadeus Web Network, which is structured around missions and a focus on goodwill as the primary source of value. It aims to be a digital oasis—a signal-rich environment—protected from the chaos and greed of the old web.

A. The Goodwill Economy

The core operating principle shifts the system from quantitative metrics (clicks, revenue) to qualitative metrics (genuine human impact).

• Currency of Kindness: The network is designed to run on "token gestures, tokens of goodwill" and random acts of kindness.
• Integral Metrics: Value is determined by the beneficiary, not the giver. The author's principle is: "one good turn deserves another," meaning the person who derives the benefit is the one who declares the Goodwill Token for the giver.
• 4-Party Registry: The system uses a transparent, auditable 4-Party Registry (stored in simple, open text formats like TSV files) to record every act of goodwill, anchoring the exchange to the Giver, the Receiver, the specific Community (Mission), and the Jurisdiction (City/Country).

B. The Protocol of Transparency

To protect the "oasis," participants adhere to a high standard of personal transparency, managed through a publicly visible whois folder in their personal Git repository. This folder includes:

• Values/Ethics: A declaration of personal rules and ways of working.
• Pledges: Qualitative commitments to causes.
• Wishes: Personal motivations for joining the project.
• Remuneration: A transparent list of offerings and the expected payment structure (e.g., pay forward, pay specific person, pay me) as participants graduate to charging a progressive premium for their time and skill under the ethical "MSA Life Divine / Collaborate Left" economic model.

This system ensures users can "know each other deeply" before engaging in collaborations or missions, creating accountability and trust that is currently lacking in the WWW.
