that's true
yes, it's a welcoming attitude
Bruce doesn't.
occasionally Charlton does this as well
and when he does, he doesn't get many comments
John will often leave things open ended, to be possibly concluded in comment discussions.
his tone is open ended more so than his conclusions
"come in, lets talk, this is what I think"
vs.
"this is what I think, oh are you listening? have something to say? you better else scurry off"
There's a great bit of the later as well.
Bruce also is more of a loony, that discourages participation as he's hardly matched.
I think the only word that suffices is genius
Bruce Charlton is a bona fide genius
and like the great geniuses of the west of a not-so-old time
Yes, people are humbled, acting humbled(shutting up and not commenting).
a polymath, a man of great learning
he says "crazy" things often
and other people respond with
"haha, that's crazy"
it's amusing to watch
somewhat frustrating
Did the latest post come off as a bit sudden to you?
no
not at all
has slowly been building to it
I don't think this break is anything but temporary
he may not resume on this blog
but this isn't the last we will hear from him, we live in interesting times, things are changing
there is a spiritual change in the air
that people deeply feel, but cannot really express
people did not just get "sick of the way things are" in so many words
to spur something like Brexit
I mean, they did get sick of it
Sometimes, I wish to live as a ghost, and see things get a hundred times worse
but what that means is a lot more than what is realized
I'm curious how far things can be taken
you can already do that in a way
in a sense
by actually absorbing how bad things are now
