RE: Six Months of Rambling Around Steemit
Congratulations on your milestone, friend @shadowspub. I wish you the best going forward here.
*"Seems the cryptocurrency world attracts a lot of anarchist, libertarian sort of people, although to be honest, by the time I read several articles, I wasn’t sure I could actually define either group."
Good luck with that! ;)
Seriously, though, it has (sadly) taken me a lifetime to arrive at my present world-view as an anarchist. More accurately, I would describe myself as a "thearchist" because I do recognize one Sovereign outside of myself. It has taken me this long because everything surrounding me goes contrary to such thought. Just as a fish is not consciously aware of being surrounded by water, we are not conscious of the universal bias against truth. That bias exists, of course, to maintain the status quo and protect those who benefit from it the most.
I appreciate that you've been to my blog and supported my work there. If you care to read more about anarchism (or at least my perspective on it), I invite you to browse my Topical Table of Contents, linked from this GIF: 😄😇😄
I've read some of your posts ... actually I've read a lot of posts that you could say don't match my worldview.. that is okay. Gives me perspectives to ponder.
My dear friend @shadowspub,
You have just given me perhaps the highest compliment I might ever hope for on Steemit. :) I am honored and greatly appreciate that you read my posts despite our differing worldview.
I've actually written about this topic a number of times, namely, my sense that we can all benefit and learn from one another, not only regardless of differing views, but perhaps especially because we see the world differently.
If we only ever read the words of people we are in full agreement, how then will we ever learn anything new? This observation seems so logical to me. Thank you for affirming that thought!
I'll leave you with one additional request:
Now knowing, as you do, some aspects of my worldview, would you drop me a note if you write something that you feel I could learn from? Whether it affirms an aspect of what I think, or forces me to re-think something, I would much appreciate the opportunity for learning. ;) As you have so pointedly asked the question, my answer is "Yes! I hate missing good posts!" ;)
I will do my best to bring you to mind when I do a post that you might be interested in. It's always nice to interact with people who can both present their own views but also consider others. It seems to be something that in many areas of our lives is a dying thing. We need to keep it alive.
Thanks a lot! :)
