It sounds silly, I know, but sometimes I am amazed at how insignificant I am and how little my views matter. And that no matter how loudly I think I am shouting to the world, how few people actually hear me. Unless you count that the NSA "listens" to us all.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not really complaining. Because of my insignificance I may not be able to single-handedly save "the world", but it also means I can't do too much damage when I'm wrong or frivolous.
I see the flap that occurs when some "Big Name" (by libertarian standards) makes some silly pronouncement that just about everyone else realizes is wrong-minded BS that fails the ZAP test, and then I'm glad to mostly be unnoticed, but sometimes, when I have what I think is a "great idea" that has never been thought before (and before I realize it has been around for centuries in various forms) I wish I could get more people to hear me and take me seriously.
As I say, I invariably discover that the idea isn't new, so "the world" loses nothing by not hearing me rediscover something that the Statist world has been happily ignoring for generations. But, I think all "great ideas" and truths will keep being independently discovered until it becomes generally accepted, and you never know when one is going to take hold, or where that spark may come from. Maybe even from me.
Ah, the amusement park that is the human ego.
