Hello fellow Hubskinites,
As some have you may have noticed, my activity on Hubski has been scarce the past few months. There are two reasons for this.
1) Life is hectic and reading through all the articles I'd like to read I find posted here, ingesting them, and formulating through-provoking/insightful responses takes a lot of time.
2) I can't shake the notion that having great discussion here is like preaching to the choir. While Hubski is great, it removes the great thinkers from the rest of the community (a la Atlas Shrugged or Bioshock). I've since been posting thoughtful questions on Facebook to stir the pot a bit a get people thinking. I find it to be that many of the people on Facebook are too concerned with which celebrity would be their significant other, which flavor of yogurt matches their personality, or the 21 ways why something trivial is the best thing ever. I think that if we'd like to make the biggest impact on the world, we need to bring the conversation to those who need it – not just feed our own egos. If you'd like to find me on Facebook, my name is Robert Jerome Castillo. You'll find me there asking people questions which would hopefully increase awareness, mindfulness, understanding, and compassion.
Peace and love, BLOB_CASTLE
My roommates and I started the Church of Jerome jokingly. We have about 5 members. It's essentially Hinduism, but "Jerome" instead of "Brahman."
