Starting with a social media platform, I now have a blog, a podcast, a YouTube channel, actually, a number of YouTube channels, and a stream on Twitch. I also have something called Tumbler and there is also Facebook, Instagram and Twitch. So if I am to use this platform and coordinate all of these outlets, where do I begin? For me, having a journalism background in newspapers, I think starting off by writing out ideas would come first. That means I would start with a blog. I don't think I have any followers at all on this blog, which in a way, is a blessing. I really don't care what I write.
That being said, what is it that I am trying to say? Well, I have first done a series for some time with my wife, Roxy, on Physical Truth. That reminds me, I have to turn that thing into a book and publish it. Ok, I think there is something on KDP or something that let's me do that. Be right back.
Ok, just submitted the book. I wrote the thing 10 years ago, so I guess it's time to get it out there. It's been on my web page: www.RASL.ca for a free download in PDF format or you can get it in paperback. The title is Physical Truth. I did the Kindle Direct Publishing thing. It's fast and fairly easy except for the cover designer which has a lot of problems from what I see in the help pages. But if you want to go quick and fast, hey, you can publish a book a day if you want.
Now all that is needed is a shtick. Something to say. Like a beef or just whatever is on your mind eh. Mine is of course integrity, which is my old hobby horse. It's a little different than saying that there is massive amounts of corruption and fraud throughout our society, mostly in our institutions. I mean, everyone is saying that and fraud has become so commonplace in our courts, bureaucracies, corporations, financial institutions and even religious institutions that we all expect it without saying. So much so that when we find a bureaucrat or clerk who is actually honest, it is such a delight that we are very surprised. Honesty and integrity is a positive rather than a negative thing. It's like waiting for the stars to come out at night. It has to be dark enough to see the stars and they appear one by one as Gord Downey sang. And when they come out, we look and marvel at the stars and ignore the darkness. Such is the same with our society. You can stare at the ever increasing darkness all you like, but it is very draining and deflates the very soul. Why do that? Look for the light. Maybe there is a very rare and unexpected point of light in your day and that should be treasured. All the darkness in existence cannot have any degrading effect on a small point of light. As a matter of fact, it kind of enhances it and makes it easier to see.
So that makes a plan. I think if we dig into the dirt and muck of the crap we are supposed to believe in, and there is a ton of it, we could sift a little and see if there are some gems within. This is not hard to do, especially if you have a little math in your background. There are so few people within the sciences or the world of technology that can go through the math and obtain some semblance of sanity in what they are saying. Actually, I should correct myself on that. There are a lot of scientists and techies who know damn well the reality of the universe, they just have to keep their mouths shut. And that is what exposes the Emperor and his new clothes. More and more people are being blacklisted, and ostracised and eventually driven away from the accepted scientific community. Science has become a dogmatic religion that is more and more a fanatical arena of raving lunatics. And, of course, we are in a panic regarding things like environmental stability, for example. Oh yes, and let's not forget about the global economic structure, which is designed to dis-empower people right when we need more ideas and thinkers with some way to deal with all of the chaos around us. People must be terrified, not of some invading foreign power or groups of nut cases, but terrified of our own government, banks and other institutions which are there to protect us and to ensure our personal human rights.
But if we dig into it, we arrive at a common theme. That is, that it is our personal integrity which is the pillar that supports us. When it comes down to it, it is only the individual who has power in society. Sure, institutions and communities appear to have power, but they don't. An institution has no power, however, the people working for that institution, or as part of a community, have all the power. It is the individual who actually does something. The institution is only as powerful, if we think of institutions doing things, as the individuals within the institution. That is fairly obvious. So the only power is the power that lies with the individual and that power rests on the individual's personal integrity.
