The response was many things. I read. Your words don't speak well when you write. Scattered thoughts. Emotions where they shouldn't be. Reads like a dictator's speech. I'm only critiquing the writing. Not you or what was said. Just that superficial nonsense stuff, that matters only in literature, usually. I expected at some point someone would come to tell you off. It happens. He's funny. You deserve it. He means well. I see the honesty behind his words. There's something there for you to learn from.

So I visited POB and saw this 'Trending' and didn't think it was very smart. But I think 'Proof of Brain' was more about offering a platform free of bots with more human interaction. Not so much about human intelligence competition. I could be wrong. Did not read the memo. Not sure what this place values.

Yeah, my writing is shite, I agree.

POB is not human intelligence competition. I like silly and crazy to.

What's interesting is the storm that it's created, by talking about logic and well known psychological markers to look for, when trying to disseminate 'faux' from 'the legit'.

The writing can improve. That helps with the delivery. This does look like a bit of a smear. Could probably get the same point across without mentioning a name. Though that doesn't always work. I recently added a zinger to one of my posts, speaking in general, without mentioning names. There were quite a few who fit the profile. One showed up and thought I was talking about them, started yelling at me. Ratted himself out. Pissed right off for talking about him. Even came armed with a quote meant to prove me wrong that helped proved me right. "Pretending to be a professional investor on the trending page all while thinking content is worthless," Is what I said. I can think of a lot of names and lot of conversations I've had over the years that would all fit. Next time I'll leave that line out completely...

I guess the moral of the story is: Shit storms happen, regardless.

It's worth mentioning, these new Tribes don't work out well if it's just a bunch of drama and infighting. As a consumer of this product, and potential buyer, I want real content. This was my second time browsing. The first time I had to come over and address a troll taking shots at me, on the POB trending page.

So I'm a bit grouchy about this place. And the filler content about POB token this and POB token that, Tribe good, cheerleader posts. Blah.

My writing may be shite - but my strategic thinking skills are not, can assure you.
There is a reason for this post , far beyond this post.

If you dissect an idea without naming names - accounts - is asinine.
Quoting as a source - as a reference to your work - is the same thing , and would be remiss to not do in context of a logic and philosophy).

I wouldn't 'dis' Nietzsche work without referring to his arguments. (finding holes in Nietzsche work, is seemingly beyond my intellectual pay grade).

I've been frustrated for four years on hive - watching low IQ idiocy reign - all in the guise of 'intelligence'.

You be you.

This stems from a day some charlatan tried to sell some kind of strange powder you're supposed to eat, and once digested, was supposed to cure people, of anything. His post was boosted to the top of trending, without any indication the slot was paid for with bots, creating the illusion of a 'popular' post. So I just did a parody. Everyone knew what I was talking about (except for spaced out Sunlit who was still pouting that day).

I was frustrated that day. Converted it into laughs. If I see what I think is stupid, I take that as a challenge to be even stupider.

Good times.

Oh, I agree - humor is an excellent vehicle in which to deliver the message. (depending on who's listening).

It's no coincidence that a sense of humor is noticeably lacking in, shall we say - certain parts of the IQ demographic.
There's very good reasoning behind as to why this is the case.

I know what you mean.

You know he ended up being a real asshole. He was funny at first but if you used humor back...well I'll tell yeah, I have no idea how he produced humor because he sure lacks it. He'd get mean, ugly and offended. As usual his so called parody lacked any reference as such from him or the comments, the whole article reeked of his what became his same usual mundane stuff, like he was suffering brain drain, or definitely was fresh off ideas. He wouldn't cause me to go off pouting anyplace, not with his demeanor, anyone would be glad to take a hike. Now if Taz talked to me like that, as he tends to be a bit straight laced when it comes to humor, when I happen to go over and poke a bit of fun with him, then I'd probably go off and pout.....that's because he's gained my respect, but he at least tries to understand where I am coming from and it was just a bit of humor, plus he never seems to come up empty with interesting stuff to talk about. Not that I read all his stuff but he once in awhile will post something that critiques my interest.
Now that you've insulted me I am not going to go off and pout but I will go off being offended. I don't hold close to your intellectual intellect but humor transcends intellect. Maybe I'll be back once I am not offended anymore but I doubt it.
