I can't decide what to do.
I want to express my thoughts on civilization, human behavior. If I write it directly, when I read what I said it sounds too deep for normal people to understand. They would probably think I'm a lunatic or something. My thoughts are very chaotic so it's hard to write a structured essay or book, I ask too much rethoric questions. For me it sounds too dry, like I'm tryng to shove my thoughts into other brains. It's probably boring to read too. Maybe there is somekind of guide about writing a philosophical book?
However, if I write a novel, I can put this idea subtly and show these thoughts in artistic form. The downside is that I need to create interesting and fulfilling story, which would cost much more time. The upside is that more people would take me seriously (in addition teenagers who probably don't read anything else besides fiction), and I could show the consequences if we continue living in the way we are living right now. One more downside is that adults don't read fiction (at least I don't know anyone that does), so my novel would only impact teenagers. If they read than it's more likely to be some kind of thriller or mistery, but I intend to write about ancient historic land, but I doubt that would be interesting for adults.
How do you generally express your philosophical thoughts?
