I have a feeling that we enjoy them because they stimulate multiple areas of the brain simultaneously and help us go beyond the limitations of language.

It is kind of like the kids movies that work on different levels, something for everyone.

I don't believe this circle-voting has stopped significantly.

There is one very closed community on Steem with a lot of SP - they are retaliating whenever it is pointed out.

I also wanted to hold myself accountable for what I say, knowing there is no real way to delete it.

It is funny that you say this, while it is what scares many others. I have written a lot about a lot here and I am sure that if someone trawled it all with an uncharitable eye, they could "quote me" out of context and make me look very bad. This is the internet and it is filled with small people wanting attention.

And being a part of that is exciting.

I find it very engaging and worthy my attention. I find it quite incredible that people would want to sit and watch something mindless on TV rather than be here on the edge of tomorrow.
