Here's a recording of the comment as kind of a proof of why I think this is interesting to do. Very Meta. Watch Community of you enjoy this kind of thing:

I also do live thought explorations, record them, and put them on YouTube. Please come tell me why you disagree with some of my most honest thoughts.
are a couple of videos I could find off the bat. For anyone interested in just reading rather than watching the entire thought process, I've posted links in the descriptions to the final text produced. I'll also link my Medium page below.
I record the entire thought process because I think we are in dire need of honesty today. It's too easy to pretend we know more than we do. I have lots of theories I'd like to share and talk with people about and have an incredibly hard time finding any kind of audience, yet constantly find people taking about our suffering from problems I believe I can solve.
I know this comment is all over the place, but just like the current top comment describes, I find it fascinating looking inside people's thought process as it is the most raw thing we can do with language. I also believe as I hammer away on these keys that I could just keep typing and eventually bring it all back together, which I will now.
I believe developing trust amongst individuals is vital in a digital age if we are to maintain any degree of community as society. Wittgenstein style thought explorations (and now with new technology recording the process therein) are the most raw, unidealogically possessed form of thought we can share. Any level of rehearsal or editing, while they certainly improve the finished product, both waste time and present an opportunity for those idealogical possessions to creep back into play.
In previous human times, we had much less diverse information flux. This enabled us to more easily understand our environment and those around us. We saw the same people every day, knew our place, and knew what to expect more or less.
Today, we don't know anyone we talk to online. Pair that with the difficulty of forming a strong community and that leads to some pretty serious problems.
I mean ABSOLUTELY no disrespect to anyone with what I'm about to say: suicide rates in youths, as well as what appears to be an identity crisis where people are latching on to whatever made up concepts please them are caused by a theory I call "Information Radiation."
"Information Radiation" effects a culture of people much like nuclear radiation effects a single individual. It makes them sick and die. Our culture is dying. There's so much new information coming in (most of it being of little importance) that it is crowding out the old information we have stores about the value of our cultures precious stories. The ones that got us here.
Those stories aren't true, but hey, we're here! And very few intellectuals respect that. We are arrogant to think now that these stories of religious proportioms are just simply not a representation of physical events that happened in our space time that they aren't important or helpful.
If this was true, television and movies such as Game of Thromes, Harry Potter, and the Avengers simply would not be popular.
This is not a religious claim at all by the way. There's no man in the sky dictating things. There are in my opinion human spiritual happenings, but those are unimportant to include here to pursuade you of my opinions.
Lastly, I want to plug my website knophy.com that I'm working on.
TLDR on it is that it's a website that values competency and the comprehension of content. My utlimate goal is to pay both creators for creating content and consumers for forming comprehension about content. I believe I have invented a sound business model for doing that.
