Let's just get the frequently asked questions started then, shall we? Why would a technophobe such as I start a blog? Am I selling out? Am I giving in?
Well, listen. I have been thinking about this for about six months now. First off, I don't hate technology. I just hate the ways in which we use technology. Why should the innovators of the world be creating tiny cameras to spy on women's bathrooms when they could be curing disease? Well, the short answer is capitalism. But we will save that for another entry.
The reason I am starting a blog is because I think about things, and I alone am a small mind. I want more perspectives on the things I think about. I question you, now you should question me. Am I rational? By no means. When I criticize people for being irrational, it is because I wish they would do the same to me. I think if people all had the balls to help eachother be rational creatures (excluding art, of course), maybe there wouldn't be war and famine in the world. Thought is a powerful thing.
So I am starting this blog to get some feedback on my thoughts, be they political, social, or philosophical. I have always written but in notebooks, alone.
Another note: if this ever is reduced to me talking about personal crap like having a bad day at work or missing the bus, tell me. I never want it to be about me and my life. If you want to know about me and my life, TALK TO ME. HUMAN INTERACTION. Its very important to me...in fact its one reason I didn't want to start this blog. But, I've given in. Face to face discussion is always better, but I guess I have a problem with being overly agressive and offending people. Maybe this will curve that behavior.
But don't get me wrong. You offend me. And just because what offends me is different from what offends you does not make me unjustified. So just remember that.
I love the Truth. Even though I will never feel or touch it. I will pursue it. Thats philosophy, I suppose. I'm not even sure it exists, though I will argue that it does. Everything is not relative. But thats a different entry as well.

Finally, "the Truth at any cost" is stolen from a comic book that my boss is making me read. Thanks Darrin. But it is a philosophy I have definetely grasped tightly. People think the Truth is important when its convenient and doesn't hurt people. But I think the Truth is much more important than a temporary feeling. If the Truth offends, so be it. If we all held the Truth, well, it would solve a lot of problems.
For example, let's say you have an affair. You don't want to tell your wife because it will hurt her. Well, in my opinion, it isn't telling her that hurts her. The harm has been done. Its having the affair that causes the pain. the Truth can't hurt anyone, in the Big Picture. At least that is what i think. Maybe I'm wrong.
So, good luck, please comment. Sorry I sold out.
