Still not working on it.
I was looking through that piece on The Future I wrote in 2010-ish, and it referenced a book. Back then, those were the Obama years, when radical leftism was “conspiracy theory”; I would argue it is conspiracy fact now.
But I was overcome with helplessness, and the idea was forced on my continually by my emotional energies that somehow I had to write a book to fix things somehow.
That’s a bit crazy of course, but if you look at the shelves of most bookstores, I think a lot of those authors held and hold delusions not so very different from mine.
And that of course is a huge part of the problem. There are dedicated Leftists bringing every ounce as much energy to their own projects as I might bring to mine. And it really doesn’t matter if their ideas make sense to me or not. If they make sense to anyone else, those are people I will never influence in any way.
And as I’ve said before, you can get rich and famous talking about how you solved your problems without solving your problems. As one obvious example, it is very likely Tony Robbins is seriously addicted to talking about self improvement without having even remotely having finished his own work. Perhaps he is solid. I don’t know. But perhaps he is merely an actor, a performer, saying the sorts of things people like him say, and doing something cringe-worthy every night at home.
Be all that as it may, my true main responsibility is to myself, to my own growth, and to not being a hypocritical douchebag; or, at least, to being as small an hypocritical douchebag as possible, and mostly not one, most of the time.
Yes, that is my humor of truth.
So that’s the story. I’m not lazy, but it’s just not my time to try and get my name in print. As I’ve said, I may try a podcast at some point. I’m addicted somewhat to talking anyway, and it seems to do me good, and perhaps it might do others some good as well. If I have a neurotic tick, I may as well admit it, then find what use in it I can.
But that’s some months away. Not going to happen in the upswing of 2022, most likely. Maybe when we are swinging back to shorter days.
