The Art of Blogging

My ghetto standing desk at home. Laptop on top of bounty paper towels.

I consider myself the best blogger of all time. Let me share my philosophy on blogging, technique, etc:

First of all, I think blogging is the ultimate. The ultimate self-expression. You literally are jacking yourself (Matrix-style) into the web, and you can augment your human-soul into the infinite web (Ghost in the shell vibes).

I see the po-po behind me, I ain’t ‘gon stop!

I’m around 7,000+ blog posts published. And a lot more to come.

Nothing is forever.

My thought:

If you live long enough, and write for long enough… sooner or later you’re gonna contra-dict yourself.

But what is the difference between a hypocrite and contradictor-person? Hypocrite means “actor”. Contradicter is someone who does something (CONTRA) to what they say (dictate).

But blogging is the ultimate Heraclitus-thing. All is a flow. All streams. All is in a stream of becoming.

Technique

First of all, I am a big fan of standing desk.

In my tiny apartment, I put my laptop on top of my kitchen counter (propped on top of two bounty paper towels). It seems like an optimal height. Technically I should use a higher screen, but fuck it– it seems to work fine for me.

Why standing desk? My theory:

To be human is to stand, walk.

We are called ‘homo-erectus’ for a reason. To stand erect. This is key.

How to get into the zone.

TO GET INTO THE ZONE. THIS IS THE GOAL.

My thought:

Don’t strive to make anything “good”. Just have fun with it! Freestyle it! Fuck around with it!

Publish and update as you go

New technique:

Whenever I got any idea, I just put in the featured image and title. Then I hit “Publish” and I continue to write and add to it, and clicking “Update” as I go.

Why do this? It gets the ball rolling! And I treat blogging like live-mind-streaming.

Typing fast helps.

Try typeracer.com. If I don’t fuck up, I can type upwards to 150 words per minute. I just tested myself with a few mistakes, and I’m still easily in the 120+ wpm range.

Why have a fast typing speed? For me, it is useful to type FASTER (or as quickly) as I can think.

Blog<->Vlog

To blog and vlog; the ultimate “synergy”.

As I blog, I get ideas I wanna vlog about. As I vlog and walk around, I get ideas for things I wanna write about.

Also, when I shoot a bunch of video vlogs, and upload it to YouTube and my blog, then — I wanna type and blog about it. This gives genesis to new ideas. I call this ‘creative double-dipping‘.

DO IT FOR YOURSELF

GOOD MUSIC HELPS.

JAY Z’s “Reasonable Doubt” is great. A lot of these albums are great. They get me into the zone.

Blogging as meta-thinking

HOW I BLOG

As I blog, I am better able to think, and explicate my thoughts.

Thus the biggest benefit of blogging:

Blogging is augmented thinking.

Conclusion: Bloggers shall inherit the earth

A blogger is a writer. A writer is a philosopher. A philosopher is someone who likes to think and pursues wisdom, self-knowledge, and information.

THE BLOGGER IS THE APEX PHILOSOPHER ARTIST!
