Look at me. I have a blog. Look, my opinions are on it! Read my opinions. Revel in how witty I am.
I have opinions on a lot of things, and you should listen to them. Hear me talk about programming. Here, me talk about programming languages. Revel in how witty I am. Hear me talk about how you should live your life. Hear me talk about the latest phenomena in modern internet society. These are my opinions, and they are mine.
By all means, write a counter-posting, offering a point-by-point rebuttal to my points. But make a link, pointing back to mine. Don’t have a blog? Well then, nobody cares about you. You don’t exist. You don’t matter. You are nothing. Get a blog. And make a link to mine.
I have insights into the world that you could only dream of understanding. Make a link to my posting on the latest news aggregators.
Post comments about my opinion on the news aggregators. Is this a new username you’ve chosen? You should think twice before having opinions. Build up some cred by not having an opinion about anything. Post factual rebuttals about mistakes of fact, but don’t even think about attacking the general conclusion. That way, more people will listen to you, and so you will be better able to spread your intelligent insights into the populace.
HELPING PEOPLE
is the purpose of having a blog. Your blog must be productive and help people understand the crazy world that we live in!
My blog is not “better” than yours, for how could one design a valid comparison function between blogs? But yours will be improved when you make a link to mine.
I’m going to make more postings, acting like I have new ideas. You will read them and be informed. My posting is not self-aggrandic—it’s a humble quest to increase the probability that wayward net travelers come across something of substance, so that their lives, and mental health, and the accurateness of their opinions, and those of people around them, will be enhanced substantially by listening to what I have to say about programming. Make a link.
My metadiscussion about blogging is more profound than any non-metadiscussion that you may have. I’m now talking about metadiscussion, which makes this level-two metadiscussion. Here is where a normal peon would make a joke about maxing out at level-seventy metadiscussion, but I do not limit my sights to topical references. It is inevitable that the first seventy levels of metadiscussion be followed by a seventy-first, and so on. Here we are, talking about enumerating the levels of metadiscussion. We could now use ordinal numbers to identify the subsequent meta-levels, but in mentioning such an idea, we have surpassed all the ordinal numbers.
I hope you find it worth your time to strive to have a worldview similar to mine.
