The Irresponsibility of Writing

To sheerly express through language, in any format is forever 'but it's own art form ... however high in eloquence ... or deluged in slang ... a mere medium of expression

So much of what can actually be known is forever already there ... in between the lines ... words offering a point of focused reference to ones more all pervading sense of understanding

The more words used ... the less actually said

.. the more information ... the less actual knowledge

From impression to expression ... 'tis but an infinity ... 'lest no moment anew

You make a good point here, but I think that one thing you said is worth reconsidering a bit...

"The number one rule of writing should be to never ever write something you yourself do not yet fully comprehend."
Writing in itself, is the process of translating a swirling galaxy of thoughts and emotions in to coherently structured idea. There is a concept called "writing to learn" that states that people actually come to understandings that they had no formerly grasped through the act of writing. Translating ideas into words, and seeing them physically on a screen or paper has somewhat of a cementing effect, that it solidifies chaotic thoughts into meaningful patterns, and creates understanding out of them
This is one process by which many, many people come across ideas that had previously been inaccessible to them

now i agree with you that plagiarizing the work of another person simply for the recognition is not a tolerable practice, but for a lot of people, this site can act as a testing grounds for new, and sometimes profoundly "different" ideas.

That we have a comment box with which to respond to people's post allows skillful dialogue to ensue, providing beneficial feedback to these ideas.
This is not a site for original academic publications.. ya know?

that being said, if you see someone completely bullshitting in a post, or stealing the ideas of another just for the praise, call them out-
the worst thing that we can do on this site is to praise those ideas with ego-swelling pats on the back, but sometimes people do need encouragement with ideas that they're still grappling with.

anyways, this is a very interesting post, and I like how real you are about these things.
Only You (as in we all) can restore justice here by providing skillful (and honest) feedback to people.
so lets get to it!

“No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.” -Albert Einstein

Well me personally, I don't like to write. The only way I have ever really written something is online. I feel once you merge with the sub conscious even to a small extent you lose a sense of "I". After that you lose all desire to to "own" anything. Also when someone comes out with something that is deeply embedding you can own that. There are certain bands I would say that "I" me personally, I wrote it!! The real artist knows that they are just tapping into the field. So I get ecstatic when I see "my ideas" manifested in weird ways. Or maybe its just the low spark of high heeled boys?

Also I think its important to know the real history of writing. Where did it first come from? This may seem far out for some but for me the geometry is proof.
There are 7 levels of consciousness, each has a corresponding height and chromosome count. Odd numbed are harmonic even dis-harmonic. The first level are the aborigines. The have a shared consciousness, if one person in the tribe experiences something, everyone has access to that info as if it were played back like a movie. Would they need writing? The second level is us. We are dis-harmonic, and those levels are only stepping stones to the next. Third level is Christ consciousness again a harmonic level. All of this information is demonstrated at temple in Khem(egypt). They have all the different heights for the different consciousness levels. Level 5 is a think a 45-55 foot blue guy?So the point of all of this is writing, writing was introduced when the second level of consciousness make into being because how else would they communicate? How else would they share the sacred knowledge that was unspoken? To me writing is sacred. All this sounds like woo woo unless you see the geometry of it though.

This topic has come up a few times so thanks for posting about it.

I think blogs and forums definitely have an evolutionary function. not only the act of writing, but that idea that other people will actually read it, I think ends up forcing people to think about what they write, and reflect upon it, and refine their understanding. but it is important to be clear about sources of information, and to say something worthwhile
