I renamed this site to “Thripp Photography” instead of “Brilliant Photography and Personal Development by Richard X. Thripp.” I also added disclaimers to articles including Egregious Failures, Becoming Evil, Dumb People, Smart People, and Smarter People, The Perks of Having a Job, and Becoming a Vegetarian. I’m not a vegetarian now as I’m eating fish again for protein and because it’s good for the mind. I feel awful that I’ve written articles that denigrate people, families, worklife, or society and I apologize to anyone I’ve misled or misdirected. I set myself up as an expert on personal growth when at this point I feel like a lost child. The more you know the less you know.
I will leave everything I’ve written online as I’m sure people are still finding it useful or entertaining, but use common sense before you make rash decisions in your life. I’ve dropped out of college, I can’t sleep, and I’m making myself a burden upon my parents. Sometimes the middle path really is the best one.
Anyway, I don’t want to sound too full of crap or self-pity but I don’t want to keep projecting that I’m super intelligent or evolved or any better than anyone else. I will leave the personal development category up but do not consider me to be personally developed as I am probably the least personally developed person you’ll find. There is an irony in life that the loudest people are often the most ignorant. Not that we can point out and decry ignorance as easily as we’d like.
I encourage you all to watch Alex Jones because he knows what’s really going on in this world (Ron Paul too). Eat your apricot kernels to avoid cancer, and don’t buy into global warming. As my father says, the Atlantic Seaboard is having record snowfall right now. Temperatures are getting colder! But warmer temperatures would in fact be better because we could grow more crops. This planet is too cold overall.
I won’t be writing much more about personal growth and I won’t be doing much more besides taking pictures of things and posting them. Good luck all.
