Real goods and services that I produce can only be sold to you at a price that you are willing to pay me; in other words, the price you are willing to pay me for what I provide is not up to me. If what I have for sale is not worth it to you, you will have no reason to exchange your money for what I am selling. I may wish to sell what I have for more than you believe it is worth, but without some threatening authority such as a gun to your head, completing the sale is impossible until you believe that what I have is more valuable to you than it is to me. When I value your money more than the good or service I am willing to provide to you and when you value my good or service more than the money you are willing to provide me, then and only then, will we ‘freely’ make an exchange.
Grandpa used to say, “Maury, make money using your mind!” Well, with this website, I will be trying to do that to the ‘n’th degree: What I mean is that I have the ability to use my mind to the ‘n’th degree – to produce thoughts that I want to sell; making money to the ‘n’th degree is not in my control as I may find no buyers of my thoughts. The purpose of this sight is to display my thoughts in an attempt to make them matter; and, if they matter somewhat to others, hopefully, enough people will buy my thoughts to make it worth my while to produce them.
Is it presumptuous of me to think that I can make my thoughts matter? Is it even more presumptuous of me to believe that I can sell my workings with ideas (my thoughts) so cheaply, at a price of one penny per thought per day, that almost anybody who wants to buy the thoughts that I produce can get them? In answer to those questions I am going to dedicate my time each day to composing a thought for this website. It is my desire to produce quality thinking that large numbers of people will want to read each day; for without large numbers of subscribers, at the ridiculously low price of one penny per day, my profits will be too low for me to continue this work.
Hopefully I can produce some thinking that is insightful, challenging and perhaps even radical while at the same time expressing some common sense. (In today’s world, I wonder, if radical and common sense are in reality closer together than farther apart.) I will try to never mindlessly rant and rave. I will try to describe things as I see them and not as how I think they should or shouldn’t be. I believe that I must know how things really are before I could possibly come up with a way of thinking that could adequately help bring about a new reality.
Fortunately for me, I have found, what I hope proves to be, the ideal location for my business. It is in ‘cyberspace’. It is in a place that hardly matters any more than an ideal thought. But, perhaps, with enough sharing connections – through email rather than word of mouth – some of these thoughts may come to really matter by making a difference in how we act toward one another!
I hope you will grant me good fortune and subscribe to my sight. In return for a subscription you will be given full access to this sight. If you are unsure that it will be worth it I want you to keep coming back and reading what you can. In the long run I may just convince you to support me in my work.
Thank you,
Maury Garvey
