Parallel reality Google

At the moment I am re-reading the wonderful book “Mr, Wilsons cabinet of Wonders”, Laurence Weschlers account of the Museum of Jurassic Technology in Los Angeles. I can heartily recommend it to all of you. (Amazon link below)

However, my reading pleasure is greatly compromised by my iBook on AirPort, sitting next to me, beaconing me to google items, persons and facts.

The duration of the wonderful feeling of not knowing whether something is real or not, this magical existential limbo, is cut short by Googles ruthless efficiency. (So called) reality on tap, kills magic, wonder and art.

On the web, even more that in real- reality, reality is a thing of putty. Who doesn't like a good crackpot theory or conspiracy theory. Being able to determine whether something is real is intrisically valuable, if only from a anti-crime or political standpoint. But when this ability to crosscheck deminishes benign pseudo- reality, like art or literature it is not good.

I would like to extend Google to include fake links to fake websites, spoofs and fake stuff from cinematography, literature and art submitted by anyone with an imagination. These links would be classified as such in the database, so as not to contaminate the existent stuff. Google users would then set a preference on and off in their settings to enable a spoiler indicator in search results that indicates whether a link relates to parallel reality and bathe in blissful ignorance or know the real facts.
