Blue Sun Series: Consilience: Verse 11

Long highways, a helmet for my pillow and a poncho for my bed and stars are over head; just my rifle to hug and my dreams the only help to keep me warm, I'll be humping out tomorrow way before the dawn.

AmazonKINDLE

Just to let readers of this Blog know (if there are any, and if there are---thanks), I'll only be writing for the Amazon Kindle reader from now on. What this means is that only those devices that have a Kindle "app" will be able to display my books and blog.  Most of what I have to say, whether it be fiction or non-fiction, is very controversial.  Being so, my writing doesn't have broad commercial appeal; but I want to write what I want to write for the people I want to write for, those who are smart enough to understand what I'm saying.  Those who are not have many other venues which are more than happy to cater to their slower needs and wants.  I shall continue to write solely for those who at the same intellectual level as is myself.  As anyone can tell, I'm addicted to writing and I needed the very best vehicle to display it.  That's why I write for the KINDLE.

Intellect and Creativity

One of the problems that all creative people face is the absence of intellect on the part of teachers and professors.  Creativity works by association. The creative person relates facts and experiences and forms syntheses in the manner of higher-order matrical reationships from accumulated facts and experiences.  These matrices are beyond the capacity of teachers and professors, as they lack understanding as to how creative people arrive at invention.  They are used to sequential processing of information, one fact leading to another along a linear progression, and no creative person ever thinks in any linear fashion; as it's far too slow and stupid.  Creative people relate in order to create, and the further afield the relation is, the easier it is to create.  We think differently: We learn in-spite-of school, not because of it.  The best way for a creative person to learn is by having as his tutors other creative people, so that a mentoring process can happen and begin.

Survival

If one looks at any daily publication from seventy years ago, and looks at that same publication today; the comparison shall be startling: Its grammar, punctuation and sentence structure will be greatly simplified and a previous broad range of vocabulary scope has now been substantially narrowed and lessened. Publications depend upon their advertisers to stay in business, and the advertisers pay ad rates based upon the demography and quantity of readers who are expected to be possible purchasers. The reason the level of intellectual content of a publication has fallen so drastically is precisely because the intellectual level of intended readership of the publication has fallen drastically. Content mirrors the mean of its readership. The average reader is not as smart. That's why so many publications devote so much space to celebrity gossip. To enjoy an independent life requires thought; living vicariously through lives of others requires its absence.
