Languages - all of them, whether verbal, written, symbolic (like
   mathematics), art, music - pick your language, they ALL have
   flaws in communicating what's nearly impossible - that SOMETHING
   that's inside... whatever it is for each person... that needs to
   come out. And yeah for me, idc if someone agrees with my points
   or individual notions; my OWN ideas change on a moment to
   moment, day-to-day basis.* There's probably some kind of
   underlying Unity but I doubt it's a mathematically expressible
   unity but more of an ebb and flow of emotions and reason and
   notions and impressions and things that just defy complete, full
   expression. Simple example: I've been playing the piano since I
   was 5.* Had music in my head my whole live.* Never stops.*
   Ever.* Sometimes bits of other people's music comes in... but it
   gets reconstructed, reformed, entirely rewritten; and whatever
   is inspired by others transforms into a lifelong song that no
   matter HOW much I want to, I CAN'T get it all out of my head.
   Passed up a chance for julliard in 5th grade after special
   lessons.* Told Mom, "No".* Why?* Well, besides the
   programmed-musician-player-life, I knew that, this stuff is too
   much to get out completely, no matter how many notes I play on
   the piano, how many instruments I learn, how much computer music
   I work with (tried it all).* Never comes out completely.* So, I
   just let it play on. But there are OTHER avenues from which I
   can express more easily; and for me, that's words.* Written
   words.* (not spoken, I stink at that).* Words come out like
   water from a waterfall; fast and furious but managable.* I can
   express a lot of things through language and so I do. Not great;
   but they do come out.* And to me, if I can help someone else get
   at least some of the song in their heads to come out and share
   with the rest of the world in some way.. well. for me, I'm
   happy. I don't need agreeement but I do seek "I understand"; I
   don't need ppl to agree but i need people to understand; and you
   do.* When you think about the amazing complexity that has to
   take place for two people to understand each other, it's amazing
   it even happens at all.* And at such levels of complexity as
   language and concepts! So, don't fear rambling in my direction;
   I love train of thought because.. welll, that's me too.* I
   ramble.* I don't edit.* It just comes out and... it's great to
   have a listener. And if I've done something to help you get some
   of the music out of your head (the music being the concepts,
   images, ideas, whatever it is that's inside of you) to come out,
   even a little... then I feel like I've done well. I hear you, my
   friend and I totally understand.* I don't think simultaneousity
   is necessarily critical for mutual understand thought; one of
   the wonderful things about writing and communication like that
   is that it's "store and forward"; you get it out of you, store
   it somewhere (like a message on a forum, youtube, in a book
   written 3000 years ago if you're Plato) and forward it through
   Time until it reaches its destination. Does Plato know we're
   reading translations of his philosophy now?* Perhaps that's what
   drove him to create; knowing the impact he'd have.* Perhaps not;
   perhaps we're all blind to the Future and our impacts thereof.
   But nevertheless, here we are.* He stored his idea,* they were
   forwarded through time (both within his own time to his
   students, and thousands of years into the future) and here we
   are - we learn and know. And that's not to say that you or I or
   anybody we know is going to be "known" in 3000 years... or even
   next year... or even tomorrow. But right now; that message you
   sent?* I read it.* I understand it.* You read my message. You
   understand it. It's something. It's a start.* How many people
   does one have to inspire to be considered a success?* Entire
   cultures, religions and civilzations like Plato or Aristotle or
   Socrates?* Or 25 million people?* Or 5000 people?* or 10?* or 1?
   To me, putting numbers to it can be fun (it's why I'm always
   getting followers on Vine, G+, FB places like that (although not
   youtube - never bothered much here) - and yet... to me... it's
   the PROCESS - it's the connection that matter. The fact that it
   happens at all is what amazes me. And bringing back to VSauce...
   he connects to people.* Whatever their education level; and it's
   there.* A little hamster running around each of the heads of the
   people he inspired.* He put the hamster there.* Running around
   in a wheel, inspiring other brain hamsters and other hamsters
   until they build new ideas, concepts, thoughts, and inspire even
   more people to do more things. I don't think it's countable...
   the potential of influence. Here we are, connecting across space
   and time; not simultaneous and yet, it doesn't matter.* It's
   still going from one brain to another brain, stored and
   forwarded. Feedback is the key I think.* I guess that's the
   power of a single "Like" at the right time; it can be as simple
   as a thumbs up, a Like, a Plus 1; it can be a few words on a
   comment.. or it can be a revolution of ideas.* Stored and
   forwarded.
