I am desperately woeful on what the great readers of my time ("you") can come up with. We keep regurgitating the same idealistic views, with no real insight, of the same topics that have beleaguered literary types for the length of time as recognizable to us. I have not posted much merely because it is irrelevant to what has already been spoken, even in this style. you can hate me for stating the truth, but so be it. I, personally, hoped for more from this group. You all, for the most part, are well read and know your own-selves. Yet nothing seems to be new, no new conversations, nor any new thoughts. I'm disillusioned and distracted by the thought of the readers ("us") into a spiraling downward spiral of mundane thoughts. Maybe a personal enlightenment could help me, or us all....

There are no original thoughts because the vast majority of the contributors aren't creators but consumers of low end gadgetry.
I doubt you're going to find too many people hating you because what you've said isn't truth, it's opinion. There lies between the two an ocean of subtlety that, and this is my opinion, not truth, you won't understand. I am basing my opinion on the fact you believe, for the most part, that the people around here are well-read.
Instead of bemoaning the fact this isn't what you would like it to be, find a group that does provide you with the stimulation you're looking for and use this site more for it's intended purpose, tech help, finding out opinions on readers, and, while not intended, my personal favorite, a guaranteed ego booster. If you can't read through the majority of the threads and posts and come away with the feeling of 'thank god I'm not that ________,' then you just aren't trying.
