Implied Implication

presenting trivial consequences under the guise of profundity

This is mostly an insight porn blog. By that, I mean this in an unholy hive of armchair speculation and intellectual excess.

To be frank, I will consider this blog an embarrassment in the future, and beware when examining my writings that I quite possibly don’t fully support the conclusion, then or now. This is especially likely the older my pieces are.

I am going to get a lot of things horribly wrong, but I’d rather be wrong publicly than privately, if it means being corrected faster.

If you disagree with something written here, I want you to tell me.
