Hive or blurt or other virtual places offer the illusion of community. In the end, everyone sits alone in front of their devices. For me, it is an expression of isolation. Trying to find community in this solitary existence is like trying to drink water with a fork. Places like this & Co live on deception and thus disappointment at the same time. They live from constant coming and going, constant attributions of nouns and their definitions. An endless loop of thoughts. What one apparently tries to grasp as freedom of opinion. HaHa!
If my view on the world were of intimate importance, my family and friends would read what I write. Funnily enough, none of them have ever followed my ramblings. They do recognise the futility of my impulses, they correctly pay no attention to me. However, it seems to be like the prophet in his own country. Others who are not close to my friends/family are listened to. HaHa! A really successful joke, I think! It's the famous propaganda, isn't it?
If I were to count all the years, months and weeks I spent blogging, any economist would laugh his head off at my hourly wage. My indifference to fully committing to a "community", i.e. posting topic-specific articles, could be described as self-sabotage on the one hand, and on the other hand, as a merriment not to mislead myself.
I see media as a kind of big arcade where you can't rely on anything. Cryptocurrencies like jetons in a casino, where of course, as everyone knows, the bank always wins.
As long as I throw my chips on the gaming table with light-footedness and have fun with it, there's nothing wrong with the game, is there? Where I start pulling the grass, giving names to my gambling companions, start identifying them, I lose all fun in gambling. It then becomes a serious thing, a mission, I am then the enlightener and informant of all that I reject.
Words are like smoke. They have no power, they cannot hurt, they become meaningless the moment I try to get to the bottom of the meaning of a word. I will see that there is nothing there except a constant reference to another word and that word again refers to another. The great encyclopaedia of terminology is a self-referential system, a vicious circle, a snake that bites its own tail.
But when I talk like this, I could be misunderstood, LOL
To me, the desire "blurt explode in usage" is already embracing the ideas you say you want to escape from. No offense, though.
I think the hourly wage is poor, but then it's 0 on sites like fb I think if this can be used by people to at least reduce fb, then it makes financial sense, especially on something like blurt where the token could quite easily x10 and become a pretty nice lump sum, whilst ppl can still maintain their full time job too. I do think we all spend too much time online but then if your going to spend it chatting online at least I guess its better to get paid?
Right, and that is why I do not worry about this poor wages :) I decided myself to blog. Doesn't so much matter where it is, in my view. If I want the payouts being higher, I've got to play by the rules of those who claimed authority over their spaces, like community leaders and their followers.
I am not so much of a rule follower, though I would not say that I explicitly like to break them but implicitly.
Not sure about if it's better to get paid or not. If payment is in the way, conversations might be distorted for that very reason. Does this thought occur to you once in a while, too? But then, of course, one can act and decide to chat in a way which stays independent from this fact.
I think especially on platforms like blurt that have a high potential to grow and are valued much lower than they could be , 80,000 blurt took me five months to make but the real value is In holding it to blurt being 50 c when it’s 40,000 dollars and a good use of a couple of hours a day Over five months. HAving said that if you have a high wage it’s prob just easier to buy 80 k blurt and hodl. So it’s just about life situations rly
I don't really think about things like that. The value of cryptocurrencies is so volatile and uncertain that I don't focus on it. If I'm here, it's because I'm not speculating on buying cheap and selling dear, although I might not let a spontaneous opportunity pass when I feel like it (on a whim). If I were dependent on covering my running costs through my activities here, I would probably do things differently than I do. So yes, it really depends on the reality of your life.
defo I mean if you have a really high daily rate and not much time then I think its better just to be here for fun or invest in tokens financially. If your like me an artist and have lots of time and promote your work online anyways, this can actually make the difference between earning for a painting or photo in crypto vs having to work for a client. if its the same amount it actually gives us complete freedom to create from our soul eventually and thats what I value most about these platforms. It gives artists real creative freedom, or could.
Yes, it can do that.
Good for you, I would say that you found a place where you can market what you like to do as an artist.
does that mean however, you are not in an aligned relationship. I only discuss these kinds of things with my partner and we are both interested in truth, psychology, how the world matrix works and that makes up the bulk of our conversation. I might not always agree with him but I would never dismiss his thoughts on how he sees the world etc or never not listen.
I got married last year with the man I am engaged with for more than ten years. I hope that answers the question. We do the same, I discuss with him all of my intimate thoughts and share my feelings. We like to disagree, it gives our relationships the spice. We respect our arguments and if there is a moment where we don't, we get over it. So far it turned out to be the most and best relationship I ever had with a man.
Time is irrelevant just saying in a deep union people would surely discuss the way they see the world and not be bored/ not listen. If you do that that’s cool, but you seemed to originally suggest your family doesn’t like to listen to the things you post here and gets bored, I must have misunderstood.
You understood correctly. With my family I mean my siblings (parents are both dead) and their children (all adults, by now).
My son is naturally not interested in what mom does and with my man I have those conversations I sometimes lead here, anyway. With friends: no one reads what I write.
Have you had the experience with close ones to whom you addressed questions about their complaints, for example, which were meant as open ended from your side and they still decided to listen what distant experts say, instead of answering to themselves/you?
When this happens to me and it does not piss me off, I like to laugh about it.
to be honest most people around me are pretty aligned, parents are the only exception and we love each other as family but are not always on the same page otherwise I tend to be around people who I at least have similar conversations / interests / core beliefs with. I have never had any issues with leaving everyone behind and attracting in entire new friendships circles/ jobs / clients etc. I find it relatively easy to leave things that don't resonate. I don't mean everyone has to agree on everything but if someones core values are so far off mine or we are just not at all interested in each others core values/ interests of conversation I tend to find we drift apart really quick as I only really like deep conversation.
I don't think there is such a thing as a core belief. I changed my views, my understanding of this world relatively often, and if I then were to meet this core, which is supposed to be what I believe, then I would be in dire straits. I lack memory of what I believed in at 25 or what I believed in at 30. I argue on the basis of my present, that is, what I suspect I might have believed at that age.
I have faith in the spontaneously experienced situation with someone where something makes me laugh or other feelings happen. The shared situation. What follows afterwards is that the person who experienced it with me already verbalises a different view of things in the retelling than I do. Therefore, I think that a fundamental view of core beliefs does not exist because it likes to clash with events that occur.
I would also say that I am not so much interested in meeting like-minded people, just as I am not interested in meeting unlike-minded people, rather it is something else that is difficult to name. It's the disagreement with someone that gives me a sense of interest, as the lack of agreement can have an openness of outcome, can initiate an interesting conversation. To use an exaggeration as a stylistic device, I would even say that it is precisely the non-match that I am looking for. As I'm finding out, not very many people like that. ;)
If I were in general alignment, to use your expression, most conversations would be superfluous, there would be no particular reason to want to communicate. In fact, this can be the case, for example, between couples who have been together for many decades and understand each other very well non-verbally. LOL They then use language only when that alignment is currently absent. HaHa!
For me a core belief is like wanting to evolve as a priority. Wanting to spend lots of time with a partner and have a deep connection, being interested in working on self, wanting a deep union with a partner, wanting to work through triggers rather than just leave a connection when it’s triggering, wanting monogomy etc etc I don’t mean like hobbies and opinions as they change quickly. Core values tend to be much more deep set.
Call me a spoilsport, I don't think what you named has something to do with beliefs, rather with wishes and priorities, as you said.
I don't mind that either, for I find it actually more relaxing to get away from fixated forms of beliefs.
What would be the difference between belief and faith for you?
You don’t need to be together a long time to have telepathy with a partner. If it’s a soul connection it’s generally instantaneous that you know their thoughts. Sometimes you can pick out whole sentences etc. I mean we all can feel and access each other’s energy and emotion if we can really access that space of quiet I believe. I think telepathy is the natural state of being for society. We just came so far away from it.
HaHa! My son would agree with you right away. He regularly expects me to read his mind and know his every wish. I fairly don't mind what you call it, I agree that you notice when it's the case that you know what's coming next in being with a person. Mistakes included. I would say though that I am better at having such with people I have known for a long time or very intimately.
Why is 20 s/30s relevant out of interest?
I don't understand. Can you re-formulate the question?
Even leaving hive meant losing a regular daily income, but It was worth it and new things opened out to replace it, I've lost clients and friends for holding certain opinions on covid/ trump and good I met new ones who were more open minded. I feel life is an ever unfolding display of resonance, following our highest joy and none attachment lol
When I was younger, I also had not so many difficulties in moving within a changing environment, which includes humans also. I befriended myself pretty easy, while I admit that parting was not in the same way easy. People, whom I knew for a very long time, with whom I then split, that took me quite some time to overcome my grudges and other emotions. It depends with whom I talk and what kind of conversation that is, to fall back into the grudges or maintain a relaxed attitude towards a lost friendship.
