There is nothing that is that semantic about the semantic web. Semantics is the expression of meaning through symbols. The semantic web is nothing more than a committee trying to decide how to best exchange data and disambiguate words for software.

Semantics should be discussed in reference to poetry and music. It belongs to the sublime world of the arts, not to the mundane world of specifications and ontologies.

Fuck the semantic web.

That's just the way your brain evolved.
