The Most Important Thread of 2012

This is the most important thread of 2012.
Yes, this is the most important thread of 2012. Not only that but this is the most important post of the most important thread of 2012.
It is because I say it is.
That is where we are at.
Never in the history of man have more people been able to speak their mind on so many venues and avenues of thought and media.
So, you will get or understand this thread and you will post in some way to let me know, and we will feel a common communion for a brief moment.
Or, you will lurk. You will decide that this thread is not worth your time in responding, so you will move on...to something more important. Most of us are lurking.
A few of you will respond in the negative. You'll force me to redefine my stance. You will point out flaws and holes in my logic or hubris. For that is what intellect does. That is the function of the intellect. It works in black & white.
It will continue to work that way even after you and I are gone. In fact, we could already be gone, we don't matter.
The more we talk, the more of us that communicate, through more and more avenues of communication – the less we are heard.
Traditional avenues of publishing are imploding. Newspapers and printed magazines are a thing of the past, along with publishing companies that handle books.
Unless you are an established author your hopes of being published today are zero. Strange.
There is no longer authority. Your opinion is just as good as mine...Matter of fact, if anyone asks, your opinion is better than mine – according to you. And, in the end, you alone.
Education, honesty, earnestly stand there naked. Striped of their inherent value. Standing there as just one separate aspect of this big thing we call humanity. Nothing more.
And we just sit here and observe, and respond, when respond moves through us.
Oh yeah, one other thing, our attention span, as a whole, is much shorter for the vast majority of us.
There is just sooooo much to see. We can't stay too long.
That is where we are at.
Because I say it is...until you say it isn't.
Things pass through us. That's what we are as human beings. Food, air, impressions are all transformed as they are filtered through this incredible thing called homo sapiens.
Things pass through us, even ideas.
We identify with the ideas that pass through us as individuals.
Much as the stories of opium addicts that are so identified with their pipes that they believe they become the pipe that delivers their particular addiction.
Philosophically we may not have evolved as individuals as much as we have transformed.
Additions, identification, the false perception that we as individuals exist separate from our immediate surroundings, all create the miasma, the screaming, the internet, the babel of drowning individuals standing on the doorstep of hell.
Based upon the contents of this thread, philosophically speaking, will you decide that it is more correct or more noble not to respond to this thread or will you make an effort to communicate?
Will your response to this thread define you in 2012?
