Greetings good citizen, the trouble with writing is any idiot that picks up a pencil thinks they can write...and technically they are correct. The distinction between a 'real' writer and being a moron with a pencil/keyboard is HAVING SOMETHING TO SAY!
It is also true we all have a story and a point of view but life is the same old same old for most of us and if you dress it up too much it automatically comes across as BS.
[Woe unto the BS artist that fails to recognize the only person buying their tripe is them.]
So it is we also have a surplus of 'boors'.
Have you taken a gander at the wasteland that passes for 'entertainment' lately? Just saying, ya know...
Naturally we can't ignore that IQ plays a significant role in what the public finds 'interesting'. The truth [the bulk of it] is boring and also highly subjective. Watch the History channel for ten minutes and you find yourself wondering just who wrote this fantasy piece that was obviously 'dressed up' to hold a general audience's interest...and geared to a third grade intellect.
Same thing with the Science Channel, there is so much speculation you find yourself guffawing over most of it [You have to keep reminding yourself, "It's their job to make it 'exciting' so the 'truth' is sort of relative/guesswork."
Einstein had it right, we know one millionth of a percent of nothing. [Which leaves us where regarding a 'singularity?'
The 'fantasy' of an all-knowing 'artificial intelligence'...[How will we create such a thing when WE don't know ANYTHING?]
Said the man who believes the first step towards knowledge is admitting that you don't already know...
Confused? Parse Rumsfeld's 'Unknown unknowns...'
Add a stiff jolt of willful ignorance into the mix and you have the recipe for repetitive disaster, par excellence!
What you don't know/blythely ignore WILL eventually KILL YOU...and anyone else unfortunate enough to be standing close to ground zero.
So 'On Guard, mother fucker! [The life you save will most likely be your own...(IF you are extremely lucky!)]
But I digress...
The 'trick' to writing well is keeping the subject matter interesting and within the realm of 'believability'. [Tasing the God of Thunder anyone?]
The 'alternative' (which are many, each raising an equally implausible conundrum) would have been to seize control of Thor's mind but where does that put the Grandmaster on the scale of mad diety's?) Would Thor, like Odin have eventually picked the lock on the enchantment?
If you look around good citizen there are holes everywhere you look in our 'official narrative', the very one being used by the feckless to drive society back into servitude.
[For those of you incapable of seeing where this whole thing is headed. How bizarre it's right where we came from and still you refuse to believe it!]
So as I argue with my eldest sibling about 'commercially successful' writing [99% of success today is controlling the public square, thereby dictating 'truth'.]
Which is to opine Democracy isn't failing, capitalism is and the people who control what passes for Democracy refuse to put the commerce system on trial...
Anyone who isn't a 'HACK' writes for themselves because a 'good' writer has something to say!
My audience judges whether or not what I have to share is worth listening to and I stick to my commitment that it isn't my purpose to tell YOU what to think but to provide YOU with something to think ABOUT!
Thanks once again for letting me inside your head,

My prose is choppy because editing your own stuff is tough at best and time is limited, conversely, the thinking is unparalleled. You won't find this level of clarity anywhere else.
