How to Unlock the Riches of Medium

I like to complain. I complain a lot, so I am always impressed when I find people who would rather solve a problem than complain about it.

If you are like me, it’s hard to get your head around that process. The world presents one of us with a perfectly legitimate thing to complain about, and instead of using it as the launching point for some well-developed complaint schtick, they go and solve the problem, thereby removing the complaining point for the rest of us.

This happened recently when I complained about “From Your Network” being removed from my feed. Quasimodo wrote to Medium and reported the bug. They fixed it very quickly. My four part series on the Medium’s sinister conspiracy to stop the spread of artisan dreck had to be scuttled. It’s OK. I’m glad to have my friend’s feed back. If I could give gold stars for pro-social behavior, I would award Quasimodo five gold stars. He lives up to his name.

Now it has happened again. Lon Shapiro has outlined the way we should be navigating Medium. I knew this, but I don’t do it out of laziness. I think he may have likened Medium mining to a spiritual practice. I may have put that on him. I think Lon is a Buddhist, and so I have stuffed all of my Buddhist stereotypes into the pigeon hole I assigned him. My experience is that Buddhists remind you of things that you already knew but were trying to ignore so that you could continue your joyfully perverse, whole body experience of self-destruction. He’s done that here.

The “gold” he talks about is probably something more than filthy lucre. Oh, there it is! He uses the word “enlightenment” right in the sub-head. See, I didn’t make it up. If you read the article you will see that his “self-help” is really directed at your “self” and not him as the guru.

Read that, not this.
