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....

Since the site has over 2 million posts it is probably difficult to find something entirely original in a new post. I haven't read most of the posts, and I find out about new things all the time.
Maybe I'm more easy to please since I like technology and the News is always a good source for new information.
I've looked at what you posted and you only replied to 10 threads before deciding to start this one, and 5 of those 10 were threads that you replied in a single day. Apparently there was nothing posted in 2010 that was interesting enough for you to reply to, and only one in 2011.

I once posted an innocent request here for what books have been published about a particular political topic I'm interested in. I had hoped to get some recommendations.
But instead, I got so much reproachful, scornful hate that the thread was banned.
Now I know that only a one-sided political view is tolerated on these pages. I don't want to be banned, so I just avoid politics altogether.
What are the non-mundane topics you seek? Political (caution), philosophical, scientific, linguistic, or other? About the publishing industry or about the contents of books?

There is a Politics and Religion forum on the site, and the discussions are rarely one-sided. This is not a forum that is viewed by the general public. If you want to know more about it and see how to join, read this:
