update

So I wrote this up right before the price of SBD went crazy, obviously 1 SBD or even Steem is far too costly now.

As I was trying to think up a price I came to the proper (easiest one that didn't involve math) conclusion: pay what you want.

Yes, including 0.

Everything else stands: send me however much you want , including 0.0, with the link in the memo for a fleshed out comment/conversation starter as well as a minimum $0.20 upvote.

The only catch is that it has to be quality, original content. If it's spam or for any other reason I can't/don't want to comment you'll get a full refund.

Mini-update 2:

@droopy is my first customer with his Steem Riddle of the Week. He has a prize of 1SBD posted so giver 'er a go and maybe you'll get a lambo (<- fucking dibsd on the copyright)

let's talk

I've mentioned this briefly lately but it's been on my mind since I started submitting to the platform: how lonely and barren the site can feel when you're first starting out. Even if you get lucky and score a couple whale votes, the comment section remains remarkably lonely for what I assume quite a long time.

Anyway all this self-help bullshit I see poppin' on Steem got me thinking "Do what you're good at." then "What am I good at?" then "Basically just words and the ability to use a lot of them to say very little " so:

I decided to try out the following: send me however much you want and I'll post a relevant, genuine, knowledgeable or researched comment a minimum of a paragraph long plus a 25% upvote (I lease so it'll vary, but on average 0.25, minimum 0.20) and respond to any response I receive. Refunds available until comment is posted.

Here's some previews of what to expect from my previous comments:

"I don't know what the (excuse me) fuck is going on, I thought I made this clear in my post. I can almost guarantee it has something to do with lizard people, the vatican, Satoshi being discovered to be a corrupt installation of Command and Conquer: Tiberian Sun and the slang word "cuck" popularized by the sexually and socially impaired.

Other than that idk"

"Spirituality may be the mockery of our modern society, though personally I find this to be just a lazy display of arrogance. The scientific community's advancements within the past century are truly unbelievable, but science and spirituality are by no means mutually exclusive. Pretty much every damn science-genius-dude held Gnostic beliefs (a very varied and wide reaching classification, but generally refers to the whole "everything is everything" concept you discus in your post).

You speak of individualism and identity, and no-man would be foolish enough to call it a pointless topic, but I feel the reason people generally feel like there's something missing is because they are specifically TAUGHT to feel that way. That the Self lies somewhere in the future, waiting for you, and you can only catch glimpses of it through the mist.

Not to be crude but that's just shit. You already are you. Right now. You don't have to find yourself, you don't have to discover "who you really are" because that shit already happened and continues to happen with every experience, every minute of life. We feel the need to cobble together some crude collage of images and values, aesthetics and beliefs and say "This is me". Fuck that (don't mind me still bitter over 3rd grade teacher calling my collage 'pedestrian' and 'overwrought'.) This is also has the effect of seriously fucking up people's personal growth, as they form a concrete image of the Self, and feel that to contradict that image would be "fake", neutering their ability to develop new views, different perscpectives, and grow, because they're still trying to live up to some silly mental-construct.

What helped me was, to simplify it greatly, stop living as if I were also in the audience. That doesn't really mean anything without clarification, but I think I might write my own post on this subject."

"Life by nature is inherently "evil", to live is to be defined by your continued consumption of life in order to ensure our survival so you can continue to consume life. Always found it bizarre that "nature" carries such silky and gentle connotations given the obvious cruelty via neutrality aspects that define it. Good and evil are abstract concepts floating in a massive black void.

However I like to think of every rare small act of genuine kindness, altruism, love, charity, or good collectively piercing the sky in a triumphant golden light, shining proud and rebellious as Caesar's golden standard, a small second of glorious color unfazed by the surrounding absence of, a statement of purpose to the void, humanity's final unified Fuck You to the Nothing as time envelops us in the black."

Not much but its something eh?"

"In some clandestine circles there's a rumor that the first 24 pages of Jung's recently released Red Book were omitted, Jung apparently having gotten himself into an archaic and ethereal form of rap battle with an apparition of The Thrice Great Hermes. Hermes ended his verse by filling the room with a low churning sound possessing the texture of entrails, roughly translating into "your hair is like dead cat idiot". Jung was still reeling and I guess when Aquinas materialized outside the window and called him a glasses wearing bitch nerd. Theory is it was this traumatizing event that prompted Jung's descent into psychosis, and it really it all adds up.

The worst part is in his previous verse Hermes had actually killed Jung's cat and threw it into the astral plane, and he damn well knew it was on the autism spectrum. Too far imo"
