If a neat idea pops into my head, I'm going to post it if I have the time, but:<br /><br />1. All of the core ideas are here. The book has been written, more or less.<br /><br />2. Even joining forums and linking to this blog in my signature would only lead to a brief increase in back-and-forth, mostly fruitless engagements. Until any of us has the attention of an entire region of the planet, this is all just a sophisticated form of entertainment.Leaving Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470369778004725601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348130769134551863.post-74903488758182419582012-03-17T14:57:14.002-04:002012-03-17T14:57:14.002-04:00Yeah, yeah, so that was a bit of hyperbole on my p...Yeah, yeah, so that was a bit of hyperbole on my part. I sometimes throw somewhat snarky statements into my posts because I'm mostly just trying to get a reaction at this point -- whether good or bad. I could be more pedantic and quantify the different demographics composing my readership, then extrapolate from that quantification the probability that someone will play along, or whether there is a need to outsource, but I don't think that we're at that level yet -- or that we necessarily ever will be. The statement that you quoted was intended more as a light jab than a disappointed observation that all ten of my readers are failing to meet my intense demands!<br /><br />And I have been an active participant on several forums over the years. The goings-on are usually the same, regardless of the boxed-in "club" being promoted: Everyone gets lost in trivial side points, egos butt heads, threads get derailed, and <i>ad hominems</i> take the lead. I'd rather leave the drama out and sidestep the primitive drive to form tribal identities (every time an "antinatalist" starts a sentence with, "You life-lovers..." it makes me want to puke).Leaving Societyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00470369778004725601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4348130769134551863.post-89386220064410278402012-02-29T23:17:03.292-05:002012-02-29T23:17:03.292-05:00"Alright, so no one is interested in the Socr..."Alright, so no one is interested in the Socratic method, apparently"<br /><br />Maybe you should join a forum or something.
