Hey,

Yes, this is a very interesting conversation. I agree that those of us of the "creative minority" (those of us aware of the need to embrace civilization's cyclical, changing nature instead of fearing it) to seek out the inactive minds of the world, or the ignorant or the unlearned. BUT, I think that this site is more than worth it to create, since I can reach others of a similar mindset and remind them that it is up to us, the thinkers, the creative, the active in mind and spirit, to go out and teach people that the world CAN be changed through the will of the people. We can tell them of the need to welcome change and to forget the stagnant ways of the past.

Listen, I don't have the life path needed to plunk myself down in an intellectually-starving nation somewhere in the world and start teaching. BUT maybe my site or similar sites inspire others who will do things like join the Peace Corp and go to nations that need mental and physical nurturing. Who knows?

I understand your point, and it is an interesting one, and I both agree and disagree with your point. You obviously have a good head on your shoulders. Please consider submitting something to the site, something concerning the world or whatever you want, and I will put it on the site. You obviously came here for a reason. Tell me how you found the site and what attracted you to it. Thanks again, and I hope to keep talking to you.
