Their thoughts are propagated to millions around the world via the internet so it doesn’t get more far-reaching than that.


Billions of undisciplined thoughts, propagated to millions of disinterested people, recorded for all time, to increase the junk we leave behind throughout our meaningless lives ....


Oh dear - I'd slit your wrists now if I were you! :roll:

If there were no random thoughts then all the brilliant inventions/art/novels would not exist. A random thought can spark off a meaningful creation.


Why does questioning a life less lived, make you think only of its ending. :?

One should be thinking of ways for its improvement ... :D

However, it would appear to be a predictable response from a dreamer, hoping there is some reason for their existence. That by merely thinking that they "think" they are assisting the sum of Human knowledge.

It's a common misperception to underestimate the toil, preparation and foresight that is the "spark" for creativity. We wish to equate ourselves with the Geniuses, and so excuse our simple survival-thoughts for potential life-changing contributions.

The real Geniuses toiled and laboured despite their superior brains in order to create.

Serendipity requires a receptive, prepared mind ....

.... not a wishful thinker!

(To avoid regression, I am not talking about Lateral or Linear thinkers .... but multi-dimensional thinkers .... :wink: )


To get to the final product there may be years of toil but the idea often starts with a simple thought.

I am not saying my 'thinking' assists human knowledge but there are people who's 'thinking' does. My Existence may not be important to you or the rest of human kind but my family are glad I exist. That's good enough for me dreamer or not.


The "slit the wrists" thing, it was a joke! I wasn't 'thinking' of your ending!
