This is, in a word, amazing. The "new media" has revolutionized the way we communicate every bit as much as Gutenberg's printing press. It's clear that communication mediums like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc. have become central parts of the way keep up with real, news events on a level that has never been seen before, or expected, as the past Iranian protests have demonstrated.
So, here we are, in our brave new world, where any individual can be a published author for close to nothing in cost (and even be paid for it!) And that is why, on this platform, I have decided to start this blog.
In the past few years, I have started an interest in understanding philosophy and economics. But I have discovered that the more I know, the more I know how little I know. However, my greatest teacher has been reflection, and I am hoping that this will both be an outlet for my own benefit, but also for others to share and gain in what I am learning, as well. Collaboration is the growth of civilization.
Hopefully, over time, these posts will become more frequent and more natural. In the meantime, you'll have to bear with me as I iron out the issues. But, I hope you like it, and I hope you enjoy your stay. :)
