I could listen to Alan Moore discuss the evolution of grass for hours on end and still be absolutely captivated. Kudos to you for a job well done!

Even if someone don't want to become a "professional" writter, or philosopher, or simply thinker, you must have an intellectual part, you must write down your thoughts and feelings, or take note of things that interest you and fuel your thoughts and emotions. Writting is indeed magic. Mr. Alan Moore - agree or disagree with him - spoke a global truth: writting can change you and by writting you can change others. It *magically* gives flesh to your thoughts, gives them existence.

I once saw Alan Moore having a coffee at Milton Keynes train station and it was like witnessing the second coming of Christ in a room of nonbelievers.

Writing changes the reader's consciousness. A simple and profound idea.

I guess I will start reading everything by Alan Moore because he's so on point.

It is a philosophy

I first properly discovered Mr Moore’s writing in the pages of Warrior magazine & Swamp Thing which I used to purchase as an alienated teenager in a local newsagent in provincial Northern Ireland in the 1980s. They were life altering, horizon expanding experiences. He has been a creative inspiration across multiple mediums in my life since. Greatly enjoyed this & just want to say thanks. ✨

Alan Moore inspired me to write this comment. Thanks, Alan.

I think he discounts the power of COLLECTIVE memory and the pre-literate oral tradition, but there's still much of value here.

I'm really looking forward to "The Great When: Long London Book 1". I absolutely love Moore's comics work, but I love his prose works even more. Great segment!

As my dad told me when I was very young ".. You'll eventually find the answer - don't rush it" :)

Currently reading Illuminations and I have no idea why he is not revered more all over the world. Astounding.

Very inspiring. This puts together several ideas I've had in a cogent way.

Excelent advice. I was a creative writing major, and a lot of college children definitely needed it.
