I think you've misunderstood somewhat of my position, which I shoulder the burden for in my failure to communicate. My apologies.

I've felt this way since a child, long before there was any digital existence.

I also believe I've somehow misled you into the assumption that I believe the digital experience is some holy grail that is to be revered over the ability to interact in the physical sensation world, which isn't the case.

Yet it is and has been a failure, to the extent that the masses are programmed to be combative with and against fringe ideas and look past one another. This has been aided greatly due to the masks that appear to be a human creation as I have never been around an animal who uses masks as we do.

It's A Numbers Game

I'm going to share an observation from my life in sales to help illustrate what I'm seeing.

Based on my (and most peoples) limited exposure to others in the physical world, the odds of running into those of like mind on various likes are smaller than one has in the digital.

I'll use the swap meet/flea market I used to sell at. I used to be able to sell a lot there, because on an average Friday or Saturday night they could have as many as 20-25000 people walk through there. They had two live stages, kids amusement rides, pony rides, beer stands and carts, food courts etc.

I and other dealers did pretty well because even though most of those people never became a customer, the odds of someone desiring ones wares increased dramatically. When I say dramatically, I'll now use the swap meet/flea markets in the area I moved to for a comparison.

Here, they are all only on one day (Sunday). They are lucky to see a few hundred to maybe a thousand people in a day. I found quickly that there were as many sessions as not where I was lucky to even get my booth space and gas in sales, in effect giving away the items I hauled out and had invested in. The numbers just weren't there to duplicate what I'd found at the much larger swap meet.

This principle also is seen in action with the online venue Ebay and in a different respect Amazon. In my line one often comes across vintage items, collectible items etc. Yet the sales for top dollar are often, even in the market I described above simply not possible. But on a venue such as Ebay, one suddenly expands their market from 20-25k (or a couple hundred where I'm at now) to millions of folks.

The odds have now significantly increased because the numbers are now in our favor, as it skews upwards the more exposure one can get.

I mentioned about masks, and how it appears some are more willing to shed them online. I say this as one who doesn't wear them often which has made many in the physical world within my circles anxious at times as it exposes their own masks if they choose to engage.

When one couples that mask observation along with the exposure to a larger segment in this marketplace of people, the odds of water rising to its own level have, as we saw in my marketing experiences, now risen dramatically.

I'll use yourself, rycharde, logiczombie and countless others I've met online to further examine this principle in action.

I've always been reluctant to label myself as some genius as I was labeled as a kid by others. I've always felt in many ways I'm a simple person, and in areas that fail to excite me I struggle to embrace the knowledge. Which led me to a conclusion that everyone is a genius at what excites them.

Yet despite that, I must admit that despite my simplicity, my ability in the physical world at finding others who would converse, whether because they can or are willing, to be a much rarer event that in the digital world.

Shifting Gears

I mentioned earlier in our exchange the economic structure here, that affords one of my meager capabilities economically to grow not only my own wealth, but my neighbors. In the physical world I'm on a treadmill that would throw me off into the world of despair if I slow down to long. My energies focused on treading, there is none left to share with another. To aid one another in rising ourselves off of this treadmill many folks find themselves trapped upon,

The economics here are different, giving over the power of banking and growth to all of us. Rewarding us for seeing one another and caring and sharing.

Coupled with the ability for the market to be larger and the water rising to its own level principle, I see much opportunity here that is simply not possible in the physical world.
