Many of us need to be percolating our ideas

The creative process starts with your own ideas and not the thoughts of Plato. Although his version of the Idea is a healthy and perfectionist/idealist way of thinking it prevents any imagination of your own, whereas his philosophy of beauty, justice, dignity, beliefs and thinking isn't to be dismissed, we need our dignity, thinking and beauty, but what I want you to do is come up with your own ideas, keep it percolating before you write a book, do your 9-5 job, eat your breakfast, do this all day but manifest it and the external reality into the outside world. Geniuses and smart people do this, but this isn't about learning, even though you're stuck in the learning process, it means: think, don't learn, but I swear you're going to reject it. The project for you to do is: come up with your own ideas, be introverted, instead of focussing on study think into creative genius. It's best if you weren't a researcher or a scientist, so here's the only thing you ought to study: your holy books, and that's it, keep the ignorance going, know that your own mind is your own invention. :)

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

    I don't know what you just said, but if you're concerned about people thinking too much like Plato I wouldn't worry about it.

      The point is follow Platonism w/o Plato's Ideas, and use your own mind, but that's not the only point, another point is to generally think and act upon this thinking all day, even at work.

        Is this something you do in your own life? It sounds pretty difficult.

          Yes I do this in my own life, the saying goes: "practise what you preach". 🍀

      You have principles, your definition of normal, I know from your user name. But this "ridiculous advice" is my principles, and you ought to study your holy books, percolate your ideas into reality, so take action, don't just sit there rejecting it!!

    I like you, Hans, but this whole "stop learning" and "but if you make an exception do it for religious BS" kick you've been on is definitely the worst shape I've seen you in. I sincerely hope you pull out of this.

      Yes it's true, you do hope that, we hope for world peace, but it's not going to happen!
