atlashead Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'll start this off by saying I wanted to go to a bar tonight but instead I'm going to stay home and try and be a creator. So now to the topic. What is, to you, inspiration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthony Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Do you leave your mind at the bar entrance? Might there be something of "inspiration" you see or hear in a public place, you wouldn't find at home? I can't say, of course, but observation and thinking accompany you everywhere. Visit the bar.

Jordan Peterson (a recent discovery for me) for another. Neuroscience, modern psychology (especially evolutionary psychology), persuasion, fiction writing, the spirit in America that veered away from a collectivist/elitist cliff and resulted in the election of President Trump, probing the meaning of life, my immediate family. I deal with these everyday and I love them all. Each has their heroes, insights, mysteries and fun. What's more, I'm sure I left out some things. What is inspiring to to you? What do you want to create? Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inspired - by something(/someone) to do - what? (Thought is also action). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brant Gaede Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 My mind is my inspiration--that is, I need to feed it. It's addicted to human being. --Brant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I like the inspiration I find in magazines like "Readers Digest" and "Remind." Also when I do New York Times Sunday crosswords I usually have one or more notes to myself scribbled at the bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading about people doing stupid, horrible things to other people. I try to understand why so--just maybe--I can do something about it. No luck so far. I've always been most focused on the macro level, from about the age of 5 or 6. The biggest and stupidest thing I can think of was WWI. --Brant something about the ammunition makers--metaphorically if not literally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
