So the purpose of this thing is for me
to develop the habit of writing a minimum of 200 words a night. I
want to feel uncomfortable if I haven't sat down and done this every
day. What am I going to talk about? No clue. Why? Because.
Sounds good to me.
So, a few rules.
1) There are very few situations where
there is a right answer. There are an infinity of truly wrong
answers (How much is two and two? Horse), but only rarely is there a
single right answer. If I say something that disagrees with
something that you say, that doesn't mean either of us is wrong.
Doesn't mean either of us is right, either. We can argue all day
whether two and two equals Horse or Elliptical, and we're still both
wrong.
2) What that means is, everything you
read here is pretty much how I see things. It is the manner in which
I interpret reality. My interpretation of reality is, necessarily,
incomplete. So is yours. We are both human (I presume), and lack
both the perceptual and cognitive qualities which would allow us to
encompass the entirety of creation and everything else. In other
words, we ain't smart enough to be more than kinda-a-little-bit
right.
3) Which further means that, if we
disagree, that doesn't mean that we should spend energy trying to
figure out which of us is right and which wrong. We should explore
the possibilities in such a way that both of us end up with a more
complete interpretation of reality than we started with. We may
still not agree on what is
going on, but we have the opportunity to understand our own
interpretations better, if nothing else.
4) There are
some issues upon which I will not bend, even a little. Don't try to
make me, unless you have some really good and clearly thought out
arguments.
5) I have (and
will post), my own fairly straightforward Ethics. Expect them to be
the cornerstone of my interpretation of reality.
6) I have no
particular axe to grind with any group or philosophy, and will
primarily use this forum as a way to wander through my own skull.
Please do not expect anything in particular from me. My two favorite
subjects are games and fiction, so storytelling will be a significant
part of this journal.
7) On the other
hand, everything that Is, is part of a larger story...
