A friend of mine just dropped some Terence Mckenna knowledge on the blockchain and got me all inspired to have a philosophy rambling. The quote is basically "if you have never contradicted yourself, your position isn't complex enough" If you're unfamiliar with the Mckenna bros. and at all interested in the expansion of awareness and all things psychedelic you should look them up. If you're a seasoned psychonaut you likely have recalled these perceptions and are assimilating them into the temporal world.
Contradicting oneself or setting up explorations in duality is the path to breaking the "I" loop that dictates everything for many visitors on the earth plane. Just taking notice of how many of our thoughts are ignited by "i" is a bold step. Especially, when juxtaposed by the realization that much of what we think we know or feel is taught or even worse imposed on us through conditioning and socialization that functions on "normalcy", This is the aspect of consensus humanity shares with its efficiently logic driven machine learned AI blockchain based offspring we are creating. These innovations will not only be a reference but a system of checks and balances between our emotional and experiential motivations.
It can be said our awareness brings forth reality from a primordial stew of possibilities and what we define as real or truth is dependent upon a perpetual attempt at a shared agreement amongst ourselves and others using various forms of language. Consent to reach consensus is how we define what is sanity, but this is far from truth. It is only a matter of convenience or a means to an end driven by survival instincts.
Strangely enough this is what was on my mind when I woke up. After perusing my feed I saw a few posts on the blockchain that helped me formulate these abstractions into something heading towards a coherent cohesive rambling. One which I hope could possibly lead to other conscious beings reaching consensus with me.. Full circle brostars n sistars 😂 That's my Deepak Chopra on acid post for today. Gong Xi!!
Now if only I could afford to hit trending like chbartist and cared enough to add the bells n whistles along with the fake ass we're all in this steem experience together garbage.. This is the moth to the flame formula apparently as its earning around 10k a month for this particular blogger..Offering superficial self help section regurgitations one can find for a penny at a used bookstore is not what I call good content and yes thats a full truth, at least to me, won't you agree bwhahaha ?!?!? Jealousy, nah my soul can't vibe with wasting all our collective time every damn day.. Now where's a good cat picture.. This fish hooked will suffice to drive home my message.

Don't be fooled by such claims. Whenever I see someone earning in hundreds of USD per post, I always checkout their wallet. Invariably, I see most of them spending a large percentage of their earnings on promotions.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. I should clarify that these bloggers are not clearing thousands in profits but they are thinning out the rewards pool for everyone else. The beauty of the blockchain is it's easy enough to figure out where the money is flowing if one is so inclined. I'm a bit miffed as to how sincerely grateful many steemians are to shill for and resteem these Trending posts. But, I also realize nobody is breaking any rules because there aren't any to break, and money or the desire for it is a major influence. These bloggers are just masters of manipulation and have no integrity but as the saying goes I can only lead a horse to water.. Fortunately, I'm not driven by dollars and have other things to do outside of steem.

Just watching the comments to see if anyone dares to challenge your intellectual gymnastics.
I personally will simply continue to peruse the pussy and attempt to quell my current internal conflict caused by the question; pre or post coffee?.....
Carry on the good work, organic trending cannot be far away! :-)

Pre or post coffee ambiguity is my new game haha.. I appreciate your position to sit back and watch, and I'm humbled to have been able to provide some entertainment that you consider on the way to organic trending... That's got a nice ring to it! Have a good rest of the weekend @nathen007

using bidbots to boost your post to trending will not earn you rewards. the only one that profits is the bidbot owners.
Keep doing what you are doing, engage with the community, meet like minded people and you will do just fine
