I have been trying to figure out my voting situation too.. I also recently set up autovoter and steem voter in order to get on more curation trails and make a little bit more on each post but now I haven't been able to upvote more than an article or two lately cuz they have been draining my power so much. I have even limited myself to one upvote per day even if I do multiple articles :/ .... When things pick back up on steemit though I will change that but for now I will just deal with it and send minnowbooster upvotes when I find great articles like yours ;)
Man, I love allen watts! I don't know if I have heard this one.. You are the first person I've ever talked to who knows who he is lol.. Apparently we are really on the same page.. Thats honestly a good feeling for a change..
Take care bro.. steem on.
Thanks, @moderndayhippie. I'm sorry about my late reply. I'm still getting the hang of monitoring and replying to comments. I'm not used to getting replies to my posts.
But I started working with the Steem Engine and Bam!, there they are.
As to voting trails, I got my butt kicked by them a few days ago, and am still recovering. Don't do 100%, and just do one guild. I would do something like that and put them at 10% that way I don't get completely whacked on VP. I have just applied to @qurator, so we'll see what happens.
Alan Watts totally changed my perspective on life, and his work is a big part of why I'm agnostic about everything. I want to be able to see, as clearly as possible, what happens next. So to do that, I've tried to set aside as many beliefs as possible and still be sane.
I think that the hippies of the 60's and 70's really did dig Watts, too. And I'm glad to find other people with common ground. I write what I want to write thinking that hey, there are 7 billion people on the planet. There is at least one person besides my mom, who likes my work. :)
Anywho, have a great day and write on.
