Q: So, a blog. But why?
A: Because I don’t know why. In practicing life, I’ve trained to trundle forward, and though I can enjoy the passing scenery, I feel slightly motion sick. Would the unease go away if I took the wheel? Should I hop off and walk? Am I actually wearing 3D goggles?
Here, I plan to dissect what/how I think, feel, and do. Axioms and self-consistent world views may be a mathematician’s fantasy, but I’m curious where an empty page can take me. Although I am its creator, the blog grants me permission and space for such exploration.
Q: Still, why does reflection require a blog?
A: Common alternatives include private journals or conversations with friends. In comparison, let me approximately define a blog as a personally run, public website of personally authored articles. We can study the constituent characteristics:
“Articles”: The written medium facilitates truth-seeking on my end, since I prefer to reference previous statements, think at length, and backtrack to correct myself.
“Public website”: Sharing made easy. For my benefit, imaginary readers are a source of accountability. For your benefit, I probably do wish to put out something worth reading. Realistically, I’d settle for entertaining you with my attempts to become a little Stupider Every Yesterday (my current motto).
“Personally run, personally authored”: Control in my hands – this surprised me, at least on the surface. I must feel like my thinking faculties are nascent enough that I require such (an illusion of) safety. I am happy for posts here to grow into conversations with my friends, but I am ready only to broadcast unilaterally into the Net, not to converse with It.
Q: …
A: That’s right. I ask the questions and I write the answers. 😈
Let me get back to you later.
