But first of all...
¡Let's put some brain & acumen to this! eh?
I know very well. That in the same way as is gonna happen with the video that I will add next. A great majority of you won't have the patience to watch this video until the end until you really are able to reach a minimal comprehension and wise final conclusion of what the video is really about nor what I have wanted to mean with it.
Ok, just watch it...
...and submit you to test!
Did you hold out until the end? Did you consume it entirely? ¿Yes? ¿Nope? Yeah, you could not! You couldn't hold on! right? Yes, you don't have to lie to me. I know pretty well it was very difficult for you if you've actually been able to really hold on.
Though, you'll still have to convince me that you actually did it.
Let's see:
For example, let's assume that you really were able to hold out and you had the necessary patience to watch the video entirely until the end.
- Did you get anything?
- Did you understand something?
- Did you figure out anything new at all?
- What is your conclusion after watching the video?
By chance, did you happen to notice that there are two links at the beginning of this post? Do you know what the links are and for what they are for? You know that they are there to click on them. It is not true? OK! ...and then why didn't you do it?
The first "link" is the sentence in color just above the first image of this post. And the second "link" is that same first image in question. Did you click?
Hey hey hey, look that I can hear you from there! I know what you are thinking right now. I just heard your thoughts loud and clear. You dare to believe that I can't do it!
Well, you are wrong. ¡I Can Do It!
I live within your intimate reality. Within your mindset. And so I can hear what you think long before you open your mouth or start to operate your fingers to type.
I know you very very well. Much better than you know yourself. And why do you think I know? Well, all this is actually very simple, kid.
I know, because from the very same instant in which I assume that you indeed have read and digested everything I have written from head to toe (including all the external links), it is really too easy to know and hear/read in advance all the possible, potential and eventual answers with which you can come up with.
Well, assuming you actually read it, watched it, consumed and digested it all.
This is a process that I call "Mind Hacking" and it is a method that cryptic writers like me use to use. The heart and bulk of our main content and message is always left between the lines. And as such, it will always have to be extracted, interpreted and digested in advance precisely from that "between the lines" you understand?
That's why most of my "cryptic" articles contain so many hidden links embedded in the color phrases, behind the images and animated gifs and in the videos that I share. Even in my musical 'Abstract Aural Bits' too. Writers like me leave nothing to chance. We do everything with a very, very well planned purpose and intention.
And therefore, it is pretty difficult for us not to anticipate and miss any potential and possible answer that anyone can offer us about what we have raised. Because we have already evaluated, analyzed and anticipated practically all of them.
Ok, now talk me about feedback.
¿Feedbak? yeah, ok, let's talk about feedback. Surely with all the shit that I have already written above along this post. You are probably wondering now:
If you already seem to know everything. And from the moment you start writing an article you already know everything. And you already know even the answers that your readers will give you and the eventual interaction that you will have with your audience. Then, for what the hell you write? Who are you writing for?
Uhm, very good. Very good question!
I write mainly for myself. And if I decide to make it public, it's only to see if I can learn something new. Listening and reading something that will surprises me. Getting feedback on something that I really didn't anticipate. Ideas and opinions completely and absolutely different from mine and my way of thinking. ¿What else?
What else could you expect?
If in your opinion, I should have to expect solely attention, applauds, praises, likes, hearts, retweets, reblogs, reputation, respect, influence, high status, people who match my opinion, upvotes and erm... money?
Do you mean living in a made up inner fake bubble in my own mind with my own echo chamber inside? Nope! No gentleman. That's not for me. Maybe it is for you. And that's why I think you are wrong and you will not get very far with that mentality. Since with that way of thinking you will continue to be eternally as ignorant as you probably already are now. Money won't make you wiser.
Neither the money nor everything I mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Money alone... will generally make you more capricious, vain, narcissistic, self-centered, ignorant, corrupt, mistakenly entitled, deluded, deviant, pervert, greedy, insatiable, afraid of losing it, with lower and lower moral values, without principles or convictions that are truly worthwhile, living just a mirage a chimera and an utopia that exclusively exist in your own mind. And above all and to top it off, almost always dissatisfied and unhappy.
I could mention many others traits. But I guess you already got the hang of it now. Of course, you might think that I am the wrong one. And you would be within your right. But that won't make you any less wrong.
So, why do I write, who do I write for and why do I do what I do online within a "social network" like the existing one in the hive blockchain? Or any other?
Well, I already explained it clearly before. I do it to see if I can still learn something new. Finding what I have not found yet. Discover what I have not discovered yet. Expand my knowledge and wisdom in science, technology, life and many other things. Especially on the vices and virtues of humans in society and assessing whether there is still hope that something may change for the better in the not too distant future. I do it, because for now and in this moment is where I find the most fertile and juicy breeding ground to continue exercising my hobby as a mind hacker.
But you know what?
That can only happen when you find reasonings and opinions different from yours. Radical criteria diametrically opposed to the ones you keep. Critical thinking and perspectives that don't really match yours. Those positions that truly force you to move that ass and observe things from very different angles and different points of view than the ones you can see from where you are currently standing.
This for me will always be just a matter of trying to separate the wheat from the chaff. No more no less.
¡And that's why I do it!
Because in my elderly, singular, peculiar, twisted, flamboyant, cranky, humorous, pink and not so humble opinion. If you want to give to yourself attributes as an infallible doctor or therapist showing it off to others and brag about it.
First, you will have to inescapably offer and deliver all the time and each time absolute comforting truths to your "patients", no matter what.
