What is the Deadpost Intitiative?
The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlooked during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.
Last week
This past week we had many introspective posts that examined what drives us, in writing, in life, in dreaming. It's interesting to see how some weeks seem to be about a particular theme and this is one I personally love to read about. I have to apologize for the delay on this post, I've been quite busy with 3D stuff, but hopefully it was worth the weight. We should have more consistent payouts above $7 SBD from now on, super ultra thanks to @kennyskitchen for offering an extra upvote every week from @tribesteemup for this post. Also thanks to @krnel for some delegation, I will be more careful to upvote a few great submission comments with that.
Last Week's Winners
—-
@alignment - $3 SBD prize
This is a concept that I am very much interested in and one whose time has come. We fill our minds with crap and rather than trying to cover it with more crap, we might as well clean it up and get rid of what doesn't serve us. Very great article by @alignment, someone to follow on steemit.
Introduction to unlearning and why it is critical for personal growth. Why is it as important as learning?
—-
@fjmb86 - $2.5 SBD prize
This was another great one. As most of us are content creators here, it's really interesting to ask ourselves and others "What motivates us to do what we do". I was expecting a rather simplistic article from the title but this is a pretty nice analysis that uses some ideas from George Orwell. Great post @fjmb86!
Why I write

@antigenx - $1 SBD prize
@antigenx provides a kind of guide to those who are not sure what they are doing here on this planet. Thanks for the tips.

I agree people, especially young people, are too quick to throw around the word “hate” when they really mean dislike. I also agree that when we identify something that needs to be changed, it is useless to just complain about; do something or find the right people to do something to effect change. I also agree that too many of us remain stagnated in hatred and do not examine the real root causes.
However, You point out several examples of when someone “hated” something and it motivated them to invent something to bring change. I have to say I think that’s an over simplification of the motivations for inventors. The sad truth is, for most humans, taking action on their hatred leads to horrors perpetrated against fellow humans. History is rife with horrific events, like genocide, that were fueled by unchecked haty.
What we need to do when faced with hate, is to find out the real reasons behind it. Those reasons always include fear, and almost always presumes a sense of superiority and societal privilege, and a set pervasive self-imposed delusions that their hate is justified or even scientifically or religiously supported. Real hatred is, in my estimation, a mental illness and requires substantive and qualified psychiatric care, as well as intensive education.

Most humans are afraid. The fear of what they hate spurs them to create horror. Why don't we find something positive about the object of our hatred and bring something good out of it. Thanks for your comment.

I agree. But, the folks who hate have not been taught the tools of critical thinking to permit them to find the positive in what they’ve learned to hate. They’ve grown up and lived lives enveloped in fear of the other. It will take far more than us just showing them the positive in others. They’ve been programmed to believe their hatred is right – even ordained. It will take reprogramming to change that, and that means psychiatric and/or psychological treatment. It also means teaching critical thinking to kids from the time they start school, truly educating them rather than just teaching to the tests.

Awesome post! I feel the same with people. Why would people hate so much and do nothing about it? If you hate it that much why shouldn't you prevent it in the future by changing something or at least try to change it and see what happens. I see so much people hating each other and just wasting time and energy on the hate when they instead can just transform the time and energy into something positive for all of us. I am not saying hate is not necessary. Hate should be used only to identify where to change the game. The aspect of the game. You hate for example the president, so assassinate him. I am just kidding, but you get the point. Stop the hate and start the change.

Routine is comfortable, even when it’s a routine of depredation. We get into the flow of “the way things are” and resist change. Maybe that’s because we’ve learned to fear that change may mean loss. But, we cannot stop change from coming into every life. Life is change.
Isn’t it confusing and frustrating how so many folks take creationism literally rather than seeing it for the collection of allegories it must be. For example, I cannot think of a more elegant allegory for the Big Bang than “And God said, ‘Let there be light.’”
