Independent Spark

If you'll listen, there's an idea behind the three types of content on this platform. There are books, bills, and petitions. Original, independent content that empowers the individual. This reflects the progression of individual will outward. You create a book, an independent reflection that only you see. You put forth an operation for enacting it, which others might agree on or contribute to. Finally, you step and lead, taking strategic and dynamic action with those who share your vision, helping enlighten them. Coincidentally, if you believe in those, this also reflects the three branches of government. A book is kind of like an interpretation of events, or the law. Because what is the law but the desire to do good? A bill is the creation of the law, after having interpreted it, or deciding how it should be arranged. It's an arrangement to create a vision. The petition is the enforcement of the law. It's the wheels.

And what American doesn't love those two things more than any other? God, and democracy. This way we get to know ourselves, and we get to do something great.

We have power. Probably, we have a lot more power than we think. There's this feeling today of wanting impact. But how, they ask, can one person change the world? Democracy: 300 million voters, you've got one vote. How can I change things? By changing other people. How? Profiting from individuality. There are things that only you can see. If you can explain that in a revolutionary way, show how it benefits other people, and help enact it, you've got far more than one vote.

But one thing I've noticed these days is there is too little opportunity in many mainstream consumer platforms, or other ones I believe, for one person to share authentic, persuasive, engaging content. I mean content that is engaging. Content that is long-form, impactful. Content that can go on for quite some time, to cover all details, hit all nuances. This is the type of content that we need more of. On social media we have the ability to communicate with almost all members of society instantaneously by using a smartphone. We can talk anywhere, anyone, who has access to the internet. But how often do we see little engaging content, content that repeats other points, that isn't original, and it doesn't go into enough depth to be meaningful, and for an individual to convey their unique viewpoint? They cannot do so in a way that will impact others, orchestrate, or move to strategic action.

This platform solves that. We have a way to communicate with long-form, dynamic content. This content is in-depth. It's not the type of content where you're going to write it, post it, never edit it, and it's a few sentences, or even a few paragraphs, or even many. It's content that is entire chapters. It's books. It's bills. It's petitions. This is what we need for one individual to truly have the depth to convince others, to have an impact. And why? Because we can all profit from the individual, from each one other person, because each one of us sees the world in a unique and profitable way, such that if they could articulate that in nuanced cases where that ability would be valuable, people would need it, and be persuaded by it. This is no magic entity that only certain individuals possess, and it is not necessarily something to parade about having in the ordinary sense. It's something that we all possess, only because situations are varied and complex, so are we, and so we need, in specific situations, specific answers. But don't get caught up on this and start chanting about how this is some great and remarkable thing; which certainly, in some sense—the sense I fear you don't know—it is, but it is also a plain and practical fact deserving of no object-oriented parade, but rather a calm conviction and impetus on each member of society here in America to act.

When I say that we each see the world differently, I mean to say that no doubt there are objective truths. One of the things this platform seeks to end is the leftist notion of moral relativism, which will be crushed. There are objective realities, and as a result we come to get to know certain things or get good at certain things within the world to advance those.

Or let me put it a different way. Let's take the most essential form of content. And I say essential because it's the foundation for the rest, not because it's technically or otherwise more impactful than the others; it's not, because ideation without essence is meaningless. And this gets into a kind of self-recurring theme here, but I'll just move on for simplicity's sake, because this will make sense in conjunction with the themes. Books.

If each person wrote their own book, we'd get unique insight in the world that we wouldn't get otherwise, and this would prompt us to do certain things. That person would influence us. The reason they can do that with a book and not a tweet is because a tweet does not allow a person to share their unique vision, instead only bits and pieces of it, which on their own, and aside such other brief and ungrounded content, loses a sense of itself and becomes indistinguishable from dullards, even the wisest.

One person does it.
