I got to the end. I am enamored by the sincerity in your words, especially in the fine details.

More surprisingly, I never would have assumed you to be 23; I always thought you would be a middle aged man—one in a secret society—using a pseudonym— trying to share the esoteric knowledge to anyone who’s interested.

I am glad, by chance, or stroke of luck, that my philandering curiosity was piqued when I first read your comment on an atheist post. Despite how tedious, sometimes challenging, your posts are, I try to read them when I get the chance.

I would like to read your “An Anthology of Adages” if you don’t mind sharing it.

And thank you very much.

Appreciate it a ton, Jumbo. It means the world that you actually read through it and found it endearing.

This particular post of mine (my autobiography more or less) was extremely tedious, and I apologize for its prolixity, but I saw no other way to write it.

I’m officially starting the philosophical essays for my system. And I think you will find them a lot more pithy and engaging.

As for my anthology, I uploaded it as (I think) seven separate post. It was nothing more than a collection of quotations from authors I’ve read. The first post is titled scraps from a scrapped project or something like that. I’ll find the link.
