Someone had to say it.
Between you and me, longtime, I think that some people are hungry but haven't learned how to cook a meal Q-style, or bake the bread, as it were.
We've still got OG anons here, but I feel like we also have a lot who joined in after Q stopped posting, and they don't really understand the need for rigorous self-reflection and critical research and analysis.
It's an understandable situation. As the breadth of the Awakening expands, it seems like a certain amount of it gets diluted. On the other hand, I guess we always had our hopium addicts (negative connotation: believing in ideas that deliver an emotional kick but which a deleterious to the mental framework over time, because they aren't grounded in solid thinking). Austin Steinbart fandom comes to mind.
As you say, there is PLENTY around to generate hope, and not only hope but optimism, inspiration and a determined outlook, but some folks will tend to lean towards the easy lift of the hopium-laced hallucinations.
What I find hard to figure out is why this post is stickied. "THIS IS AN ELITE RESEARCH BOARD" sometimes seems more like nostalgia than current description!
End rant.
Addendum: Please note. This is just a /rant/. Just sharing some mental impressions, and not meant to grieve the mods or offend the OP. Maybe I'm too harsh, but its a /rant/. This too shall pass....
