RE: The formula for building influence

in OCD3 years ago

They won't think this way though, as they believe what they have to say is important, because it is important to them.

Haha well, I don't think I've come across the first person who doesn't think this way yet. Anyone who manifests and expresses himself from a public tribune or platform will invariably is always gonna think that what they have to say is really important to others.

The people that create the content don't care much as to whether people are improved by it, as long as they get some popularity, some money, some influence - even if that influence is as a managed tool

For that to happen, the audience has to come across the content, consume the content and then, feel that it was worth their time and effort.

Yes - regardless of the feedback (or lack of feedback) from the audience. So many people scream into the void, but don't listen for the echo. If they did, many would hear the roar of silence.

Relevancy in a disposable world is hard to hold, unless one makes themselves worth keeping.

Feedback yeah. Feedback is only valuable if it actually challenge what has been stated and said. Otherwise it's just useless white noise bouncing back & forth through the walls where that echo comes from in inmodificated response to the initial noise that originated it..

That's right, everything is indeed disposable in this technological world. Not even the most ingrained and deeply rooted scientific theories that have been maintained as absolute truths for centuries will be able to retain their relevance to be worth keeping.

So, Relevancy... ¿relevancy what? ¿for how long?

Not necessarily. Encouragement is feedback too and can be vital for people to make another attempt. It is probably only when a person already has a certain level of proficiency in a particular skill, that critical feedback has positive affects. Some people do not seem to be able to do anything other than criticize though, as they have little sensitivity to the bigger picture, the greater story, so see the damage they do as helpful. It is another delusion, while they think they are "keeping it real".

Relevancy always has a time limit, especially when it comes to human concerns.

Yeah, I somewhat could agree with that. For those still too "green" who actually needs such encouragement as vital to make another attempt.

Well, on this one, I somewhat would concur with you stronger now. :)

In my opinion, they would only harm and would do some necessary mildy damage to the weak and frail. The older we get, the less time, tolerance and patience we have to go with pointless sensitivities, ineffectual rodeos and useless diplomacies to "keep it real"

Relevancy always has a time limit, especially when it comes to human concerns.

This time, I do agree with you absolutely.
