Since I'm still doing it, though, i think I can say it's just to inspire those that like it. Or wish they could do it.exactly! proof, if proof be needed, that the "I/Other" dichotomy, raised by the ludicrous question "who do you write for?", is bogus. that rivernotch fellow raises a valuable point about the ego. society has made us ashamed of our own nature, our own psychology as human beings. we no longer understand the ancient greek aphorism of "know thyself". instead, we are told how we should feel, who we should be, what we should think, by adverts and movie stars, or other authority that thinks they have raised themselves above the pond of human scum, ironically telling us to be ourselves, all the while making basic human emotion something shameful. and god forbid you should actually feel a sense of satisfaction from impressing someone, from occasionally desiring that fundamentally human satisfaction; because we must never ever write for [or before] the other, WE must be singular! WE must run away from ourselves! fuck that noise. We are plexus, rhizomatic, strange, hypocritical, stupid, fucked up, confused, and ridiculous. . . and we're doin' all right.
