How can it be a waste of time to be a leader and produce content?
Even assuming “nobody here is far enough above-average”, one of the most valuable things in the real world is to become familiar with how non-versatile thinkers react to your content because they make up the majority of the world in which you have the potential to be a leader and manifest the content that you can produce. I come here to test out arguments on whoever has an interest in philosophy - I’m sure I don’t have to try hard to convince you that the usual kind of people you come across in the offline arena are both ill-equipped and uninterested in deep thinking.
You reveal a lot about why you’re here through saying what you have said. You’re here to alleviate boredom, you wish to learn from leaders and content producers or at least be inspired by others rather than through your own means, indicating that you acknowledge at least some lack in your own ability to create - potentially the real reason why you don’t produce content here, for which you are perhaps making excuses and blaming others rather than yourself? I’ll leave that one to you, I don’t like to assume. It’s not anyone’s job to entertain you, and personally if I were uninspired by a place, without skipping a beat I would just think more on something that was interesting me by myself until it was worth sharing, or time to see what others think about it initially independently of my input.
I don’t produce frequent content here, but I do produce it when so inspired. I don’t force it or post half-baked ideas just for the sake of frequency of content production. Nor do I, for one, fall into the category of “not far enough above average”, as you seemed to cotton onto in the gun thread. Being officially in the top 1-2% in IQ I am instead used to being the most intelligent person in the room, and I would hazard a guess that most others here are at least above average on the same scale - sure there may be one or two below, but I wouldn’t be surprised if at least one or two were on the same level as me or maybe even higher. I’m not saying quality philosophy and creativity are necessarily implicated by intelligence, but I don’t think there’s much doubt that they are at least somewhat correlated. For me, it’s basically all I’ve thought about, constantly for half my life. I think you are a little quick to judge this forum so sweepingly.
