Yeah. I already know this kind of story. That's my old therapist trying to analyze my mind. Trust me, he wasn't the first being bamboozled when i started talking about whats going on in my head. (And actually i haven't even started... that's the really nice fact.)

I don't need to convince you. Because this leads into discussions trading arguments which are mostly pointless unless you are a fucking bobblehead, sry: politician. I'm a fan of the real old-school dialogue. Face-to-face. Getting to know people. Taking time for this, so you don't drift into prejudices, oversimplified drawers or categories like this. Looking for peoples mindsets and values. And the "organic" cause for my mindset wasn't / isn't fetal alcohol syndrome, it was a shunt siphoning the blood from inside my head into my intestines because otherwise my brain could have been waay more severely damaged by my own blood pressure. Because i had a complex head injury when i was born. Fyi.

That is why i always have a say with my people on who we trust. And if there ever is an equilibrium of votes (which so far didn't occur) on who we take in on what we're building: Guess whose voice counts as a double ... :)

I have some sympathy for every human being. But there are only so many people i trust... I don't need facebook or google to tell me which people my friends are.

Nice chat. Maybe open your mind a little bit.

Well, in the end, you are right. The internet is shit and face to face is better.

Also, open minds are for people who don't know where they are coming from, where they are and where they are going. They are for people who do not know how the world works or where to draw their morals from. My mind is open to creative aspects only. An open mind is like a fortress with its gates wide open and windows unbarred - i think is how it went.

Creativity or its implementation is 99% hard work and only 1% actual creativity itself.

I think you are at a point in your life where i already stood sometime to decide which way to take. When i realized that i actually can help people directly instead of only accumulating FED-approved toilet paper by just doing what i already was doing my whole life, my definition of egoism or egocentrism shifted considerably. People following you down this rabbit hole are only people that are willing to achieve something less standard and more individual with their lives. It is a really nice idiosyncratic coincidence that happened to me way too often to be purely random. And it still does.

Because if you get nearer to the real original self that is inside yourself and start to live it out or in your case rather finally start to let it go out, you will always have the respect of other people. And you even can keep the bridges of your castle open while the walls still are too high to climb for all these simple minds. So i don't consider myself purely open, obviously. There i deviate from your point of view. Because understanding the border between my inner and outer self better still is a very fuzzy topic for me.

Not everyone of course, because being everyone's darling isn't a role for humans like us two to achieve. But the good people. (The right people). Funny thing about this fact is, that you can read it in the Stoa from Epictet and from Lao Tse in his description of the Tao. But even that i did way too late in my life, sadly.
