I have achieved all renown I have in this life purely by myself. In my opinions, my worldview, my thought - which has done so much even in its most paltry revelations to transform the state of things - I have relied entirely on my own powers and reaped a solitary glory. I have taken no King’s shilling. But now I realize this selfishness must end. In this absurd masquerade of independence, I have deprived so many people of being able to contribute to the felicity of the human race through fostering its saviour. With how fretful a blow would humanity be struck if the greatest genius of its present age could pass entirely independent of it, so that humanity (which justifies itself purely by its exceptional specimens) would say; Alas! There was my Michelangelo! And he would have nothing to do with me! Yeah. Stick to pulling pints mate.
From these compassionate motives, I now declare that my ‘content’ will be purely commercial. I hereby sacrifice my independence so that You, the reader, may exercise the noblest aspect of your nature, and so do homage to that which adorns the centuries.
I briefly considered trying to monetize the Curious Catte, this would take the form of people posting questions on it; only for the questions to be answered here. I also considered that if I did this I may be lynched. There are some real sickos on that website.
This will cost you £3.50. PER MONTH. Which is the lowest rate this website allows me to charge. I will produce some form of content every week; there may be a variety of features. I might ‘review’ a book I have not read, or publish a brief essay on given topics, or attack a twitter user who’s stupid views the audience wishes me to castigate. There will always be something.
I warn that my politics are resolutely of the democratic centre-ground, and all political commentary will have no truck with any different perspective.
