I have few casual observations from initial statistics and intensity of comments on my blog. I have nothing to do with these observations and they are purely statistical in nature. I would like to make it clear that these observations are not going to affect my future posts. I will write whatever I feel like writing (RGVs "AAG" mentality :). I am writing these observations here so that readers start commenting on less popular topics too (Egalitarians you have something to correct:D:)
Here are the observations:
1) people are most interested in relationships and they are dying(not literally) to see or relate through a live example :)
2) People are interested in real stories.
3) There are people (sadly few":):)":) passionate to think about society and counter someone if there is slightest trace that someone has an argument against egalitarianism.
4) Some has interest in theories but only scientific theories. They don't like the simple fact that contradictions in social theories doesn't prove the invalidity of the theory itself.
5) No one cares to comment on your blog( or on gtalk and email:) if you are redirecting them to some other place, No matter how interesting or inspiring the link is.
6) Please don't write about technology as everyone is equally aware of all the technologies as you are.
7) Finally the biggest disappointment:( There are very few interested if you are going to make humor a discussion topic. Although many people have commented personally on gtalk that "sarcastic humor" is interesting but statistics tells something different.

I didnt make a sarcastic comment in the last 17 days. That is the best thing that I have done in the last three months. I dont appreciate people much. I pass derogatory comments. And honestly, I get sadder when people dont like it, or worse, dont read it.
It is an amazing thing you know. One passes a derogatory sarcastic comment because it is a unique way of expression that does not come naturally to everyone. But the desire to have your comment noticed shows that although sarcasm have to compulsively express in tangled words, they do have the need for social affiliation. In that sense, a creator's understanding of the ways of the world is mediocre I believe. I say this because it is obvious that while the sarcasm wants to be seen as a 'complexity provider', the basic urge is to be UNDERSTOOD, and that too en masse. That is simply asking a lot from other fellows. This argument further strengthens my belief that a sarcastic comment is a highly disoriented, unsatisfying piece of art! It cannot fulfill what the artist desires because the demands from the consumer are just too big.
Any American would tell you that such an idea cannot work!
I am not claiming that I am the only such commentator who realizes this. Infact I think that all commentators know that what they are caught in is a SERIOUS MESS. But I think they continue this form of expressive confusion or confusive expression because it is an indication of the self' complexity to the self, which to me is something that engenders deeper philosophical questions of life.
sarcasm does help in realizing the need for self-actualization. So as Maslow would have it, it does get you high (and low!).
I remember studying in physics that the human body is not uncomfortable to high speeds, it is uncomfortable to accelaration. Similarly, the human brain is not uncomfortable with the speed of emotional development, only with the changes in that speed!
For example, aging brings in a level of emotional development in all of us. We are all very comfortable with aging. But one-off incidences that make us age faster are always painful.
sarcasm or anything creative written overleaf is one such BRIEF spike in the speed of emotional development. It hits the mind hard; and I am referring to both the writer's mind and also of the respectful reader. It is like being in a space ship!

I agree about this
