Deeply disagree with this. You don't have to approach writing from the standpoint of "my thoughts are so important."

Writing and communication is one of the greatest art forms in existence. When properly utilized, they can invoke great emotion in the reader from peace and happiness to anger and hatred.

Writing is also an extremely cathartic exercise.

I'm just saying, it's very materialistic to want to permanently inscribe your thoughts on a blockchain. I don't think that's debatable.

Sure. However, @6345 has stated numerous times that the reason he posts here is because it's immutable/permanent.

How is that not materialistic?

An anti-materialist shouldn't care whether his ideas are stored immutably (protecting the ideas) and seen by others, or pissed into the wind and only experienced by himself.

Permanence isn't inherently materialistic

knowing that something will last longer on chain than anywhere else is just a nice feature, it doesn't mean you are attached to every word you write or that you think it's important – that's a perspective thing.

If I want my ideas to be seen by future generations for any reason, after I die - that's materialistic.

I do, so I'm somewhat materialist.

I don't think it's a bad thing to be somewhat materialistic. We have no guarantees that materialism isn't a good thing in some regards.

Again, a perspective thing. That's like saying because you bought something on amazon you are a "materialist." You can also eat without being gluttonous.

I think publishing - no matter where, no matter if a single soul reads it - is essentially broadcasting to everyone tuned into the same frequency as you.

And I don't even think the few important thoughts humans have are their own. They are already in that frequency.

It's like finding seashells and telling people we made them.

All you can claim as your achievement is formulating these thoughts in a better way.

Why immutable instead of on a platform where you don't know if they'll change or delete it?

Why not?

Yes, so you're attached to your ideas being preserved, not lost. You are seeking to protect your ideas.

That is materialistic.

Are ideas part of the material world in Canada?

But more importantly, and conclusively, you seem to think that non-materialists don't live in the material world.

We do. We interact with it all the time.

The only think that differentiates us from a materialist is thatcwe think there are more dimensions to our human existence than just the material one.

Now big hug.
