I'm back!

When I started this blog, I figured I would be updating it regularly, which I've failed to do. I know (or, I hope, I should say) that somebody somewhere is disappointed, so I will try to make an effort to be more frequent on updates.

The issue is, however, that I feel my style and tone are underdeveloped, and that impedes what I'm willing to actually publish on a semi-formal basis. I've noticed this issue with everyday discussions as well, where I'm a little "off-game" as it were. Hopefully, reading Hazlitt, Austen, Tolkein, and Lewis will remedy this. If any bookworms want to recommend stylistic authors, please post below! How sad it is to never receive comments on a blog such as this.

Now, to be consistent with my inner-narcissist, I have to talk a little bit about a few thoughts that have been troubling me. This is MY blog, after all.

As I've said before, something I noticed is that the more I learn, the more I find out how little I know. When asked to defend my views, I notice a delay (sometimes very long) before I am able to respond to the answer. This becomes worse with things such as very philosophical questions such as, "what is your epistemological basis for using praxeology to study economics?" or "how can anarchy work in a fallen world?"

These are, of course, incredibly complex questions, but even things such as "gun control" or "health care" give me a second of pause before I can produce an answer.

Also, I've had some requests to discuss a few items. Hopefully, I will be posting a blog post on ending drug prohibition and decriminalizing all drugs for recreational use (a topic that turned me to libertarianism in the first place). The other item is much more broad, and it is a defense of the libertarian worldview in an anarcho-capitalist flavor, while maintaining its validity. This request comes from my former English teacher, as well as a few friends who would like to see a presentation on the issue.

So, all in all, this is why my updates have been so infrequent. These are questions that, I believe, take a lifetime (if not generations) of scholarship to fully understand and answer.
