Mission (Mis)Statement


Once upon a time, I thought I wanted to study philosophy. After trying for a while, I decided that I wasn't cut out to be a scholar. So tedious and specialized. Not that I think studying philosophy is a waste of time. Not at all. Thank GOD for Bertrand Russell! (get it?)

Nevertheless, after a few upper division courses, I realized I didn't have the concentration required to spend hour after hour dissecting the intricacies of Wittgenstein. Still, my interest in 'the big picture' remained. As I begin this blog site, I realize that it is quite possible few if any people will read what I plan to say. I don't kid myself that the world is waiting with open arms for my precious wisdom. Still, rightly or wrongly, I feel I have something to say. This blog is a way to get it off my gray, hairy chest.
