Re: A Conclusion
Could be a chicken or egg problem? I put my efforts into achieving the objective, thinking fame would take care of itself. The strategy might have worked decades ago back when I started but people’s values have dramatically changed, otherwise the West wouldn’t be falling apart. Luckily, failures are just as important as successes when it comes to wisdom. Wisdom doesn’t mean you’re always right; it just means you have more knowledge & experience to draw from. Politics would be the best use of wisdom, hence the quixotic quest for fame to get elected.Haumana wrote: ↑Tue May 09, 2023 11:15 pmIf you are chasing fame it does.

Re: A Conclusion
It gets weird. There's a narrative emerging over the past 3 years that I must be a CIA plant or something because no one real could have done what I've done and been to all the places I've been. The reasoning is: if I was real, I'd be famous.Haumana wrote: ↑Wed May 10, 2023 8:59 amMakes sense.

Re: A Conclusion
Who is saying that you are a CIA plant? You didn't even go through the right universities/avenues that churn out those types of people.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 3:30 pmIt gets weird.

Re: A Conclusion
I know. The 1st time I heard it was back a couple elections ago from a guy who kind of supported me. He told a guy who told me. The 2nd time was DBTrek who suggested I was a “glowie,” and listed what he thought were suspicious items, like I had a forum ready exactly when Dan closed his. I laughed it off. Then this election cycle, running for U.S. senate, somebody up in King county wrote in a comments section of a political website that I must be connected to the CIA. Just recently, somebody who read my new book jacket where I list my stuff, commented that I was a ghostwriter because I couldn’t be real.Haumana wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 3:53 pmWho is saying that you are a CIA plant?

Interesting to go back and read that thread. What a trip down memory lane! That was the beginning of the Hash forum Sixth Mass Extinction.Martin Hash wrote: ↑Sun May 14, 2023 4:47 pmI know.

Monty is still wrong but I'll bet he's still convinced he was right.
Sounds like that person doesn't even know what a ghostwriter is.commented that I was a ghostwriter because I couldn’t be real.
