RE: Steemit VS 'Real Life' - Or About Fate

in #steemit7 years ago

I don't believe in "One True Love," and I don't believe in fate. I believe online life is real life (even though I use IRL as shorthand for offline), and have the friendships and other relationships to show for it.

I don't like to quote Dan Savage, because he's been problematic in some aspects, but one of his regular sayings is "there is no one, there's the 0.87 we round up to 1" (the digits change), and I totally believe that. Believing there's a "one" also negates the truth: that relationships, even the very best ones, require work on both sides.

Will there be blockchain-social media babies? Probably. I won't be surprised at all to learn some have already found love here, and if Steemit is going to be successful, it's gonna grow. A LOT.

The human mind is very good at creating patterns and narratives to make sense of the world. That's a big part of why stories are so important. But I don't believe in externally imposed patterns and narratives. In the end, to me, the story is what we make it to be.
