A very serious problem with the way people approach writing, today, is that they view it as an act of competing for power. This makes a social environment which is quite putrid. And particularly, it is injurious to a philosopher.

What it means is that whenever you try to share some new, inspiring idea which might be different from how people normally see their world, you get lynched.

What happens is a phenomena that people wouldn't understand - but the person with all the eloquent language, loses confidence in himself.

I have thousands of ideas big and small on my computer from the past eight years which I've spent writing and thinking about everything in the world which I wanted to take a look at that day. The writings I've done will likely never be shared as such.

All this work I've done is background research for myself - it will enable my life to go smoothly... it will enable me to pursue any agenda I would ever want to do.

I think I will definitely publish writings in the future. But they might be metaphorical stories for children, or general innoccous kinds of stuff for adults.

My most weighty or powerful writings I will never publish under my own name... and not even under a pseudonym. They'll be scattered across the net... as essay-form comments here and there at blogs and discussion boards.

I was reading a little bit of one of my favorite philosophers - Immanuel Kant - this morning, early, and I saw that he was very very foolish in his approach to his work. He worked alone, for one thing. He should have gotten together and worked with other people on putting some of his ideas into practice. I imagine him to be like a person who had seeds of a plant - and this person would have a little greenhouse in his home, and he learned exactly how this seed would grow under proper controlled conditions. However, then, he takes one precious seed, and goes out into the middle of the desert, and puts it under an inch of sandy soil, and expects it to take root and grow. And of course, it never does. A very presumptuous man.

The thing that should have happened is that Immanuel Kant should have gotten together with people, and started putting his ideas into action.

I myself think that I won't be a writer primarily, in my life. I've spent all my life, thinking I would be. I've spent many years doing the work I needed to to perfect my skills for that career option.

But I think that it would be more wise, and it would have more impact on my society, if I would focus on applying my ideas in more tangible ways. For instance, there are several areas I see where there could be headway made in a way that would seriously benefit our society - getting involved in centralized media, working to actually start the humanist movement, which in 70 years has never really gotten off the ground, and perhaps working with very progressive minded organizations which are making a big impact on the world such as "SecondLife"

An interesting figure of speech came to mind this morning, when thinking about independent usa senators when they said they will "caucus with the democrats" - Well, I, in my life have chosen and will choose in the future to "caucus" with the artists, I will not caucus with debaters.
