I have certainly enjoyed my time here, on the forum. Every time I come 'home' I feel accepted and in the right place. Before this website and attendant MMM forum got 'popular', this was augmenting my life. I'm nowhere near making myself in Thoreau's image nor challenging the understood-MMM existence. I just wanna' get along. I want this to continue to be my happy place that I come back to. I want to be myself as a somewhat privileged rich white guy that hopes harder drugs are approved for public consumption just so I can read the better stories that their brains on drugs ultimately produce. But that is the worst of me. Wanting to read stories, probably too much for my own good.
Maybe it's all gratuitous, but that's how I understood the past - that the artists were on drugs and we exploited them with paying lots of money. Would Prince have gotten hooked on drugs if he just performed for minimum wage?
So there you go. That is what I hope the internet wants to ponder -
