Why write a blog? I have a few simple goals such as improving my own writing and having a record of my thoughts. I believe that forcing my thoughts onto paper helps crystallize them but it also stores them such that I can go back and see the track record, remembering of course that the method of evaluation is one based on the quality of the discovery and thought process not entirely the results; which is a dirty process. Alright; then why not keep a journal, am I self delusional enough to believe that other should read my scribbles? In part this allows me to keep a nice filing system but it also keep a historical record. And don’t we all have dreams, however delusional, that we may get to be exposed to public censure. In all seriousness if one has the stomach and mind for it, public exposure and criticism are extremely useful means for self improvement.
Is there a specific topic? I don’t plan to constrain myself; if you have self discipline why would you (options have value; unless they are to make the wrong – if you know what that is – decision). Although the topics will vary, one thing will be present often -a desire to understand the world and how it works. Another way to say it: what is going on that just doesn’t make sense.
