    I increasingly think the most valuable commodity in online commentary is "original thought," regardless of political perspective, where "original thought" is defined as thought which does not seem tailored to confirm the biases of one's perceived political allies or social cohort

        Explain that to YouTube and Social Media. They want boring non offensive thought that leads no where productive.

        Check out @caitoz. You may not agree with every last word she says but the amount of original thought and original topics she writes about is astounding.

        Good luck selling that, nobody buys the original when they can get a cheap knock off from some corporation for next to nothing. Welcome to the 21st-century, where original thought is in endangered species soon to go extinct.

        “Valuable commodity”??? Not sure how original thought can be a valuable commodity in the literal sense, but honest, smart (funny), brave thought - wow!

        if you look at the numbers, the most valuable commodity in online commentary is being famous before you even begin speaking.

        I’m less interested in ‘original thought’ than following the lead of scientific thought to engineer society toward survival and less social ills. having a fact based society (which might be original in a land of cult of individual, personality, indoctrination) might be original.

        How about if those ‘thoughts’ harm and legitimately terrorize others? You’re literally a Nazi. Just admit it dude.
