You noted that the comments of other people, regarding mistakes you had thought you had made, were not very helpful and were sometimes somewhat silly or not very bright.
I think that most of the advice, criticism and commentary that I have gotten has been useless
Very often when "friends," acquaintenances and neighbors offer what purports to be advice or helpful hints or wise words, they are in fact spouting useless drivel.
VERY OFTEN THEY GIVE YOU BLATHER THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE POLITIC, INOFFENSIVE AND TO GET YOU OFF THEIR BACK. THEY SAY THAT WHICH WILL DISSUADE YOU FROM ASKING FURTHER QUESTIONS,. SOMETIMES THEY SIMPLY UTTER A STREAM OF PLATITUDES AND NON SEQUITERS. THEY VERY RARELY THINK DEEPLY ABOUT THE ISSUES YOU HAVE RAISED
When I look back upon my life, the very best things I ever did I did alone. I am not trying to sound misanthropic and embittered,. I am just trying to tell the truth.
I am busy now. And someone is with me as I am writing this. When I am alone, I hope to listen to your videos and hopefully comment on them.
I have read that nowadays when they make a movie, very often studios will convene a committee. First, they will look at the polls. If the polls show that 40 percent of the people want acttion movies, and 20 percent of the people want tender romance, then they will aim for a film that is 40 percent action and 20 percent tender romance. THAT NAUSEATES ME. First one needs a great idea. And ideas fly into the brain of a man with vision and imagination. The organizational man bestows upon us a dreary, desolate grey flannel death . Fuck the organization. Viva the individual
Thanks for the honest and inspiring video!
Thanks for sharing your journey. You make for a fun tour guide :-)

That said, I have a select few people who's input I value and enjoy.
And I value your ideas
