I'm usually not around commenting on posts like this one ( though I enjoy reading them ) but I'ma step out of my ''comfort zone'' for this one :P .

There are some truth bombs here , I never saw that Orville episode but I can see the analogy around it and in a way society works that way. @meno puts it as ''the number philosophy'' meaning that in a society we all have a ''scoring number'' floating around our heads and we usually try to hang around with people that ''scored the same as us'' ... if I see someone as a 9, 10 then it might be someone I admire if I see myself as a 6 or 7 and such... The trick is that those numbers change from person to person's perspective.. what I see as a 10 might be a 2 for the one sitting besides me.. making it quite pointless .

The thing here is that we have some numbers attached to us.. the SP wallet , the rep number , etc... giving us ''value''... and that can be quite a mind trap .... ''If someone with a rep 65-80 to say a high number comments or votes on my post then there must be some value to it contrasting if a tiny plankton commented'' Stress the quotes heavily. This can take some of the human element away easily, most of the people i chat and admire most around here are planktons and minnows and I don't attach numbers to them and as I would do in ''3d world'' I would help them if they so needed or reached out , it's just my nature. I'm very unattached to things or money... I guess I'm quite a hippie in that sense :P !

From the people that have chatted with me around this Steemit world know that I'm very private and ''work behind the scenes'' most of the time. Helping musicians because first of all I'm a lover of music and many arts and I like to put my shoulder and push to make things happen, Also trying to make musicians celebrate other people's work (#coverasteemian) or behind the @helpie community helping the whole thing run. Most of my SP is delegated to initiatives I like and such... I'm a terrible ''business man'' but I've been enjoying my time here and collecting wealth that is not necessarily on the monetary side of things. ( I did help myself with some pay when Steem had it's super high price , now on a bear market I'm not taking one cent out :P) .

As my friend @harrisonmir who shares a very similar way of thinking puts it : ''every group needs a healer/medic (talking about RPG gaming ) .. you'll never see him/her on the front lines but if he/she is not behind the rest.. the group dies.''

I went on a tangent... eeeh.....

My point is I guess , don't forget to enjoy your time around here , make some friends , share the things you like and are passionate about and have some fun :) . Hopefully one day the things we push around here become self-sustainable and we could be around more but if there was no potential payout involved I'd probably be doing it anyways :P .

I'll see you around Marica .. probably spamming avocado pictures ;) .

Smoke Bomb... whoooshhh
