Hey yep, exactly. Hence why I started writing both fiction and non-fiction. I can share my tiny nuggets of info, but also writing things down helps me remember and challenge myself. It's also where I put all my concerns and try to rationally walk through them with achievable methods to an outcome of hopefully survival.
Writing a newbie prepper book was one of the most scary things I ever did, but the feedback's been good. I think everyone should be challenged to write, and read. I think if everyone challenged themself to write one thing down with the intent of sharing the knowledge, and then were able to digest the feedback into categories of either "this person's being contrary" or "this person's offering constructive feedback" or "this person's offering alternative solutions" , we'd all be way more educated and practiced at both communication and conflict resolution.
agree. it's actually scary running into people with no thoughts. and I wonder what's going on in their brain. you ask them and they have a blank stare. it's like nobody's home. i legit wonder if they stare at a wall all day and like idle. it's eerie. it's been something on my mind a lot lately. :( I feel like there should always be a search for knowledge, even if it's at some tiny .01% level. but when it's zero, and they don't even jump up to help you with something. or have anything to keep themself busy. it just makes me wonder wtf is going on in there.
if the answer is truly nothing, then ... I don't get it. like I hear a dripping noise from the gutter outside, and even tho its almost 1am I want to go out and look at it. like why am I just hearing it now. it's so bizarre.
I just finished reading the book "Amusing Ourselves to Death" and it's actually part of what made me write this.
People are so inundated with information that they can't form thoughts on what they are being fed. It's just too much information. We think of facts as being knowledge but these facts are only surface level information.

Oh I certainly agree. Writing focuses your thoughts but in order to write, you have to have thoughts in the first place...
