The Search for an Audience: A Journey of Hard Work and Dedication

I've been on a relentless quest to find an audience since twenty twelve. I've made countless videos, written twelve books, and turned to blogging, all in an effort to connect with more people. Yet, despite my tireless efforts, I haven't found the substantial audience I've been looking for.

Over the years, my content has evolved significantly. Initially, I created long videos, hoping to engage deeply with viewers. When that approach didn't attract an audience, I started making shorter videos and eventually even shorter ones, including YouTube shorts. Despite these adaptations, the elusive audience remained out of reach.

What keeps me going is the profound desire to find friends. I'm incredibly alone in this world, and creating content is my way of reaching out. I love my work. I'm my biggest fan, possibly my only fan. My obsession with philosophy drives me to keep producing content, hoping that someday it will resonate with more people.

I have received some feedback, albeit from a small group of dedicated fans who regularly contact me and enjoy my content. Their support means the world to me, but the audience remains small.

The main obstacle seems to be the YouTube algorithm, which I feel works against me. Despite using tags, great thumbnails, and catchy titles, my videos get hardly any views. It's disheartening, especially when I see others succeeding with similar or even lesser efforts.

My entire life revolves around philosophy. I don't have other aspects of life that distract me from this pursuit. Philosophy is my life, and I obsess over it, constantly creating and sharing my thoughts and ideas.

I’ve also tried to collaborate with other creators, but I never received replies. The creators I reached out to were likely too big to notice me. 

Finding an audience would mean the world to me. It would end my loneliness and provide me with friends to discuss philosophy with. It would allow me to be social, something I currently struggle with. It would be a healthy and fulfilling change in my life, giving me the human connection I deeply crave.

The Philosophy of Emergence: A New Way of Living and Creating

The Philosophy of Emergence is a simple yet profound way to approach life. It’s about letting meaning, truth, and understanding reveal themselves naturally. Instead of imposing preconceptions or rushing to conclusions, it encourages patience, observation, and alignment with the flow of life. This philosophy can be applied to everything from personal growth to relationships, creativity, and education. Let’s explore it through analogies that capture its essence. --- 1. Naming the Painting After It’s Finished Imagine an artist who doesn’t name their painting until the very last stroke is on the canvas. Each brushstroke is an exploration, a discovery, and only when the image is complete does its meaning become clear. This is the Philosophy of Emergence—letting the process guide you to the final result instead of forcing a predetermined idea onto the work. --- 2. A Seed Becoming a Tree When you plant a seed, you don’t tell it how to grow. You nurture it with water, sunlight, and care, and o...

YouTube is a powerful platform for creative expression, and if your child is an up-and-coming star, it can be an exciting opportunity for them to share their talent with the world. However, navigating YouTube as a parent of a young creator comes with responsibilities to ensure safety, compliance with laws, and a positive experience. This guide will help you and your child make the most of their YouTube journey. --- Step 1: Start with a Parent-Managed Account If your child is under 13, they cannot legally own their own YouTube account due to COPPA (Children's Online Privacy Protection Act).
