Goplat, you seem to be hypothesizing a world containing “information that cannot be Googled”. Not just information for which we do not know the Google keywords, but information that cannot be Googled even in principle. I would hold this to be an incoherent concept: information is that which, in principle, can be Googled.
Or consider IRC: People write that they’re AFK or “away from keyboard”, and claim to be somewhere else, somewhere that isn’t on the Internet at all; but have you ever actually seen a message from someone who’s AFK? No, as soon as you see a message from them, they say that they’re “back”.
The obvious conclusion is that people do not, in fact, exist while they are “away from keyboard”—and neither do you.
I don’t believe in a supernetural world. The supernetural world is just a myth fueled by the fear of being offline.
