How does one acquire an audience? A somewhat insane idea I've had is to develop a habit of posting a shower thought at least once a day, but not sure if I'd actually execute that. Other plans I've considered are using more hashtags (for Mastodon specifically), and becoming a "content creator" πŸ˜†.

I have all sorts of opinions about politics/diplomacy, but also this innate paranoia about expressing them, even pseudonymously. It's that I don't know who my "audience" is, and therefore I must stick to "safe" subjects. The other factor is that I have no apparent audience to speak of, LOL.

I’m reading De Divisione Naturae by John Scotus Eriugena, an 8th century Irish monk. Mad bastard. He’s trying to prove that we live in a type of videogame programmed by God, and there’s no possible way to understand or visualise whatever reality God lives in.

Low-key I think we all need to be more okay with being bored or doing little to basically nothing We be doing so much in so little time that we actually start to overwork our brains, to the point of being tired basically all the time
