Filosophy Phridays: Episode 09 - Diversity: Do You Fear It, Embrace It, Or Celebrate It?

khufu (55) 5 years ago

I see a red door & I want to paint it black.

I don't like the status quo much either, the whole two party preferred beer swilling football culture just doesn't resonate with me. I must say I've been a social outcast since I broke my back and everyone I knew abandoned me and I became unemployable. I've existed on the fringe of society since that happened but it gave me an outside perspective on how superficial and controlled it all is.

I'd rather have a dose of DMT or cactus every few months or so and go somewhere else (metaphorically speaking) to escape it all to regain a bit of perspective on the big picture and recharge my sanity.

My interests are so unusual that I hardly ever meet anyone that says anything that really interests me (you're an exception Bob). That's why I'm cashing out here and moving on, I just don't fit in anywhere.

I too enjoy those perspective tools.
By cashing out, do you mean that you're leaving steemit? If so, perhaps you could hit me up on discord, and we csn swap some contact deats?
Peace.

Yeah I'm over it Bob, it's been a failed experiment for me mostly. I was on the fence for few weeks and the latest changes to the wallet (and the google mind rape -ads) pushed me over the edge.

I haven't been on discord since I joined Teamaustralia, I kept getting an error message telling me I couldn't log on as me because my username was taken even though it worked fine 3 or 4 time before. I tried clearing cookies and clearing my cache but the problem persisted so I gave up on it. I've got no time for software that requires me to jump through hoops.

To use my wallet I now have retrieve my master key from its safe keeping arrangement (another hoop) so I'll dig it out tomorrow and send you an encrypted message in your wallet with my email details.

I'm in heavy development working on graphene batteries and supercaps right now and I really need to focus on that so I can afford to eat and have power in the house, two gluttonous sins that scott morrisson doesn't think I'm entitled to indulge in at the same time. So I need to put all my focus into that and every cent counts.

All the best mate

In all types of things, there are some things I don't like and some that I like. I don't like bad things just for the sake of diversity.
