TED Talks suck
Ted Talks. They suck.
Have I listened to every one of them? No. But some of them. And I’m not impressed. In fact, I’m mostly turned off. They suck. Why? Because—-
1. They lack Passion. They are far too “acceptable” and politically correct and say things that are pathetically easy to agree with anyway, but that I very likely could care less about.
2. Where are the conservative Ted Talks? Oh, you might hear one about the dire warnings of climate change, etc. But where is the TED TALK from someone who thinks climate change is bogus? or who is a member of the NRA? or someone against Globalism? They’re just too liberal all-around. And—-
3. It feels like they don’t have the guts to do TED TALKS on controversial things, unless it’s to present a very liberal view. They avoid controversy too much. It’s “speeches-lite”, about as boring as anything you might hear in a Toastmasters speech. (Insert big Yawn here).
Inventing a NEW Social Media
Many people are dumping Facebook. And Twitter.
Whatever happened to “My Space” ? Should there be a My Space 2.0 ?
Many people like WordPress. Some like Instagram, Tumblr or Wix.com
So I have a question for you: If you imagine the “coolest” kind of Blogging platform or social media “thingy”, what would it be like? What would make it The Best? Name 3 must-have features you would want in it.
Some things on my wish-list would be
1. No Text limit (or, a 12-page limit per post should be enough. Having it doesn’t mean that you always have to use it.). 2. Find other users by Topic/category, and by City. 3. I would actually LIMIT no more than 2 pictures included/attached with any post.
Here’s more: 4. MUCH better control/filtering of any “Timeline” and comments. Such as the ability to Block up to say, 50 users. And also something like: Only show/allow comments and only show me other posts from the country I created my account in. For example, I have no interest in reading posts or getting comments from Bolivia or Uzbekistan or from languages that I don’t speak. Give us the option.
It would also be nice to have some choices to alter colors and fonts. What do you think?

Samantha Valens Questions Witchcraft and “Finding Your Truth”
Samantha Valens has made several Youtube videos on Witchcraft. But last time I checked, she now has less faith in it and is now more of an “Atheist Witch”. She also has a video about “Why I Left Wicca” on Youtube. This one is about “Finding Your Truth”. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojbYkoSyZWs
Empathy, Helping, Serving others & the Internet
Do you believe in Empathy? Compassion? “being of service to others”? Yes? Those things are “all the rage” these days. And so I ask: Have you noticed? For all of the importance and value so many people put on those things, consider this:
Not so many years ago, if someone else asked you if you knew of any website, book, or article that they could read that would inform them more about Whatever topic, you would have likely said: Oh, you should read the book (insert book title here), or go to the website _____________. That–would have been “being of service” or helpful to others, or maybe even compassionate.
But today, people largely don’t do that. Instead, people just say: Google it. Or—“look it up”. You’re on your own. No one cares. “Look it up” is the answer to everything.
Ha! So much for “having empathy” Or “being of service”. As if “sharing knowledge” and “being helpful” has gone out of style. Even though people can’t stop talking about how important it all is in so many other spiritual ways, and in business, or school, or everyday life. Yeah, right.
Your Blogging New Year’s Resolution
Blogging is fun. With Blogging, we can express ourselves. We can share our opinions.
Or can we? You can’t post, or share your opinions and views if you don’t have any! Do you? I am amazed about how so many bloggers won’t take any definite stand, on what *they* blog about. Usually, when someone replies to a post they made and asks any questions about it, even politely.
They “wimp out.” They won’t be definite about anything. But they must (you would think) have some opinion. After all, they are the one who brought up the topic. But there are far too many things like:
“Wellll, it’s complicated.” Reply: In other words, you didn’t think it through very much at all before you made your first or opening-post on what you wrote about. Or–
“That’s a good question”. Reply: in other words, you’ve been stopped in your tracks and don’t have a comeback. Or—
“It’s not that simple.” Reply: People always say that when they dont wanna defend their view (or can’t) or when they don’t wanna commit themself or take any definite stand. But again, it must matter to them. They, brought it up. Or—
“I think there needs to be a balance.” Reply: I’m not even sure that that “sounds good” anymore. Because people will say that, and then—Poof! Nothing more. Zero. Nada. They won’t even say what balance is to them, or where they would draw-the-line, and why there. Nope. End of discussion. All conversation on that topic stops.
And so—-for 2018, and on, try harder not to be a timid, non-committal, politically-correct, mousy Wimp! Take a stand!
It’s YOUR Topic. How do you feel about it? What do you think about it? Why? Be passionate. About whatever interests you. Have a foundation and basis for your view, whatever it is. And share that. You’ll be ten times more interesting than if you wimp-out and say, “welll, it all depends”……
