How to be Free, Nevertheless

Public Speaking

Once a person has received what they believe to be an authentic message, a moral duty arises to attempt to communicate it. The most intimate, effective and authentic method of communication is public speaking. This is true for me.

In the absence of an audience I have resorted to YouTube videos because it is the closest thing to being there. Observation of a speaker's presence is essential to understanding, but a video is the next best thing. Through this means, we are raising a whole new generation of speakers and performers who would otherwise never have an audience. They have a virtual audience, conceived in their mind and eventually realized. Thereby, the monopoly of the public mind, held by the mainstream media, is broken.

The only sad deficit is the sensation missed by the performer in the absence of approbration by a real audience. By real, I mean physically present. However, if a speaker is effective in virtual reality the possibility exists of a real audience in physical reality. A level playing field gives them an equal opportunity. This is the ultimate freedom.
