Welcome to my corner of the internet (also known as the series of tubes).
For those of you who know me I will use this blog to help you better understand some of my opinions and philosophical understandings of the world around me, which I most certainly believe is held in a great number of different misconceptions. Likewise, I wish to break some misconceptions about the world you live in. But keep in mind that I do not hold the assumption that I am in a position where I can dictate to you why or how your grasp of reality is allegedly inferior to mine. Unlike many other bloggers and philosophers, I am not necessarily on such a high horse as to hold other’s opinions in contempt or a status of inferiority. I do ask, however, that you do not hold false presuppositions about my philosophy, and I do ask that before you reject my opinions or the opinions of others, that you investigate these ideas yourself and that upon your own observations and experiences base your opinion. Thus the namesake of the board. If it is anything that I ask you to do by visiting this board, it is to subject your assumptions about the world and even your most cherished beliefs to an unscrupulous barrage of logic, reason, and self-contemplation. Do not simply take things for granted merely because another or some position of authority has said so.
For those who do not know me; you can perhaps use this blog as an opportunity to open your mind to other ideas as well as to express your own. More than anything I wish to get started a healthy clash of ideas within a discussion forum. The Socratic method is nothing without discussion and healthy dialectics. The blog is still under construction and the forum should be open sometime in the near future.
Thank you.
-Daniel.
