The Truth about Lies

It often takes a certain amount of mental effort to detect a lie. Many of the lies used against me are designed to discourage such efforts by providing immediate answers to lingering questions. I combat them by making regular posts in which I state the truth about myself in the plainest possible terms. It is normal for people to expect someone who writes popular work to have many friends. If such a person is a loner, he is vulnerable to dishonest attacks on his reputation to explain his solitary condition. This is why I regularly remind my readers that popularity is not a priority with me. If it were, I would have stayed online from the outset and would likely have 'made it big' by now. The wish for popularity is largely a result of classroom peer pressure, something which has less and less influence over one's life after one graduates from school. One who writes popular work is also expected to be rich. Since the business which profited from my work and left me unpaid controls much of the public mindset through its television networks and radio stations, it has been able to offer the public its own explanations for my poverty, explanations which are intended to preserve its reputation at the expense of mine. This is why I ask people to shun any information they receive about me from the commercial media at this time. Association is a powerful psychological tool often used by advertising to promote products. There are two types of association: positive and negative. The neighbourhood to which I am financially confined has a large population of narcotics users. I hope that I have proven in my daily posts that at age forty-seven I am in full possession of my mental faculties, something which would be impossible if I were strung out on heroin or some other narcotic. Besides that, I can't afford narcotics; I can't even afford tobacco. Lies which focus on my image or my character are intended to distract people from the quality of my work. From the stories I read about rich and famous talent, it appears that few of them are 'angels'. My guess is that many rock fans and comedy fans wouldn't even care if many of the lies used against me were true. They have an appetite for my work which only I can satisfy, and the lies they hear about me simply annoy them.
