I now check General Comments every time I come here. GC was last used by AFKAN to deliver a lecture on “Movement Past” on June 5. I asked him to expand on that in GC and he promises more.
AFKAN is aware that this is what GC is FOR. I think his writing needs tightening up and a rewrite but his grammar and spelling is fine so he must take some effort with it. He is not getting paid for this so he is doing a good job in the right place.
GC is being tried as one more step in making BUGS go along without me. GC is where you would introduce new INSIGHTS on OUR approach as I try to do here in the first page — I don’t know the technical term–almost daily.
It may be that, since you have learned the game of Staying on Message, you can cover your insights by commenting on what I say and using my statements as a springboard. For a political pro, anything can be turned to those ends. When I put YOUR comments up front here, I get as many responses as I do to my own stuff, which means you are already doing this job.
So GC may be of limited use the way I thought of it. I may use a few of AFKAN’s quotes up here as a Preview of Coming Attractions to get people to look at his full piece.
We’re adaptable. At least GC can be here when you want to delve into something that you cannot or don’t want to go to the effort to get published elsewhere. It won’t be the first time I have found that something I invented for one use turned out to be just the thing for another.
The whole history of science is filled with great ideas that the originator did not realize could be great for an entirely different purpose for the one he envisioned. Ben Franklin insisted to his dying day that electricity was useless.
In our case, WE ARE REINVENTING THE MOOT.
Nobody has DONE what we are doing before, so I can’t tell whether the silence in GC just shows you have learned to play the game so well you don’t need it.
The Ole Perfesser is no more sure EXACTLY how our new electricity should go than anybody else.
