RE: The Slacker's Guide to the Great Remission, Preface: The Economic Crisis Returns. Part 2
In many ways this platform turns out to be just another "distraction" with the "bread and games" energy that fills most of the world we live in today... the fast-food and mostly the UN-agreed-state-of-the-art-thinking is pimped up... We will have company over for lunch tomorrow - a fellow German Steemian who has been on board for over a year will come with his family. Maybe he can give me some advice that will turn things into more positive light again... The German Community here is really helpfull, but most of the content they are interessted has not much to do with the life I am living ;-) I hope I did not put too much garlic on the porc-roast, hehe
What you say is undoubtedly true. The only difference between Facebook, Twitter and Reddit is the platform. The people are still the same. And here we have the added corruption factor of monetary gain.
For me it's about people seeing my stuff. No publisher would ever touch what I write. Here I can post and let the people decide if what I write about is pertinent to their world. Ted Kazinski, the Unibomber had to kill people to get noticed since no publisher was interested in his manifesto. If Steemit were around when Ted was writing, he wouldn't need to kill to publish. He could post it all on Steemit and be ignored with the rest of us. Hahaha!
Just got finished reading this post by Larkin Rose. I think there's a lot of wisdom in what he is saying. I tend to be harsh and push people's nose into my opinions. It's sort of my nature since I think what I write about is very important and I have been accused of being pushy before. That's probably mostly Narcissism on my part.
I need to step back and examine the tack I've been taking and make a few mid-course corrections. I think people are beginning to fear commenting on my posts because I always have an answer. I need way more humility. I don't have to compromise what I write about, just present it in a more genteel, less egotistical way and be more receptive of other's opinions.
I don't think that's possible, is it?
have to read this comment of yours in a few minutes - just put out a contest - your should join, haha - guessing the winter veggies
