I've slowed things down quite a bit lately (defrag time) but am slowly
digesting bits of your A3 society site over the months. Every time I
pick a page to peruse very productive routines begin disassembling and
expanding on the dialogue into many offshoots, it is a very enjoyable
and reminds me of the dialogues in The Story of B (if not with the
hush-hush overtones). I could only hope to one day master content
density and keep a single thought long enough to write a cogent
contribution, and I think it would be as I've never read anything
resembling my thoughts. Who knows?
Ugh, I wasted my little recuperation day trying to figure out where US
politics stand. Which did NOT help my stress headaches- at all. Neither
is smoking, to eye that monkey sharply. Perhaps it was from a sense of
duty, the time would have been better spent trying to get into writing
and organizing my thoughts around a website project that has been in the
tubes for several years (and has published nil) and slowing my thoughts
down rather than pursuing anxiety. How do writers find their 'voice' I
wonder? What if there are distinct identity challenges in the way?
Anyway, I keep having ideas about the content and forgetting to follow
up. Now reading Ending Religious Violence. The book will be on my shelf
eventually, it is certain. Be warned, I read dozens of technical
documents and tons of wikipedia articles a week (branching out to other
resources) on average but it takes at least several months to read a
whole book. Is the whole thing available online or the book longer that
the webpages?

Atlas Shrugged ( Ayn Rand ) is one of my favorites. I'd also like to
make a plug for my own book. I'd welcome any discussion about it. I'm
recommending it here because "meaning of life" is a major focus of the
book. And, unlike The Zen of Motorcycle Maintenance, I do provide
alternative ways for people to dig into this.

Anyone have any book/article recommendations on what has influenced their
meaning of life regardless of whether or not that you found a meaning. I
really don't have very much of a history of reading around this topic and
want to get started somewhere. Sometimes it feels like my thoughts are too
frantic and circular to get anywhere, so I need something to get off the
same track that I travel.
Thanks :D.
