Hey my friend, thank you for taking the time to read and support my post .. I really do appreciate it! In terms of conspiracy, there are many conspiracies and not all of them are theories. The attachment of the word theory is itself a conspiracy and a post in itself, what strange times we live in eh?
With the best will in the we will always have holes in our knowledge and I have no problem with that, for we are each part of a greater whole. That is why I place a keen emphasis on intent, for many of us are divided on details but united in an intent to make the world a better place. We certainly have to be aware what we fill our information holes with, but if their plugged with love and compassion for our fellow man/women then it gives us a strong foundation on which to build upon. Equally MSM seek to plug said holes with their own agenda and so we must find a way to turn our minds and hearts away from their message of fear and division.
I believe in a strange way some of us are born ready, but equally it comes with a responsibility to help our brothers and sisters find their voice and become the change they want to happen in this world.
Thanks again my friend, I've been at work all day so I'm just catching up on a backlog of comments but I will be sure to have a look at your posts @halfjew22
What a beautiful sentiment. That's essentially what I've based my entire idea around that I'll be working on for the next few years. I really look forward to some of your feedback on it and any insight you'll be able to offer.
Just absolutely beautiful. You have a great way with words. What do you do for a living exactly?
This is where I feel there is a huge opportunity for parading truth, honesty, and transparency as higher promoted values. You can't argue with truths. You can't spin truths (as easily as half lies, etc) and it's relatively simple to detect when you're not being fed the whole truth if you are able to engage with an open and transparent conversation with someone.
I've been thinking that more and more lately, and running into people such as yourself on this wonderful platform simply serve to further that idea.
Thank YOU for your post, and I truly look forward to reading more of your work as well as receiving some of your insight on my ideas and posts as well.
Cheers to a better, more positive and loving existence.
Hey my friend @halfjew22 I'm sorry but I must have missed your reply. I'm also really glad my words resonated with you. I think that in a world of a billion details intent is key and it's the one thing that can unify us all. An over emphasis on details has the danger of becoming akin to re-arranging the deckchairs on the Titanic.
At the moment I'm running my own I.T based business, nothing exciting but I would love to be able to support myself through writing and sharing my words. Hence why I find myself on steemit. How about yourself?
I completely agree that you can't argue with truths, unfortunately many appear to have been programmed to react to said truths with knee jerk emotional responses. Indeed within the minds of the P.C culture many are subconsciously equating discussions relating to freedom of speech with the far right! It's shocking to witness and equally a testament to mankinds fall from grace .. whoops I used a gender prenoun there!
It's great to run into people like yourself on here as well. I've upvoted your posts (I upvoted the one that's still live, along with one of your new posts) and I will take the time to absorb and comment later on as I'm running @musicmonday tonight. Thanks again!!
I was working full time and doing some consulting on the side as an Android developer. I've since quit that full time position in pursuit of working on my own ideas (you can check them out on my Dtube page and I'd really appreciate you ripping into them!) I've found Steemit to be good so far, but I'm finding so far that low energy / effort (my opinion, just my thoughts) posts find their way into more people's hands than those posts that take more effort and energy. I've seen this sentiment echoed throughout and marked off as "just how it goes" around here, so might explore building a Chrome plugin or something that allows for more "multidimensional" curation of content. You can see some of my feedback on Steemit here if you're interested.
I think you're well on your way to being able to support yourself through your words. I'm looking to do the same, as well as to create software to echo the things I write about. Maybe you'd be interested in joining along :)
It's sad, but I believe your usage of the word, "programmed", can't be more accurate. That truly seems like what's happening. However, I think we're finally seeing a movement to cut away the nonsense. That isn't to say that there aren't problems we need to solve, but I think there is a movement to reorient our values towards the problems that are most important that we solve the soonest.
HAHA let's resist the urge to make too much fun :P I'm not sure how those people form their opinion that get up in arms about peoplekind vs mankind, and I think it's utterly ridiculous to make the claim that that can be offensive in any way, but if we're going to solve some of these problems, we can't take any side. We must simply be objective.
It's fantastic to run into people like you as well. I've truly appreciated your writings and your response to my comment. Looking forward to continuing the conversation and seeing more of your content!
Best - Michael
