I intend to restart this blog as a means of disseminating my ideas and receiving constructive criticism of them so as to aid in refinement of their content and expression. I have also retitled it "Pardon my ignorance." from "No Way of Knowing," as I found the original title to make too strong of a claim.
Several posts will be modified entries from the written journal in which I began recording ideas in the second half of 2008, titled "ARJUN BOOK" (a more appropriate descriptor did not come to mind at the time). I will indicate specifically which of the posts that follow originated in "ARJUN BOOK."
The blog format also allows me to preserve to a degree some of the contents of "ARJUN BOOK," as the composition book's binding has started to wear and the pencil marks have begun to fade.
Owing to what I presume were at the time well-considered reasons, (they escape me now, but my best guess is that I wanted to maintain the semblance of a free stream of consciousness) I neglected to date any of the entries and at times subsequent entries jumped erratically throughout the composition book, to the present effect that tracking developments in my own thinking has become an exercise in itself. So be it.
I have long held that what we know about of the sum of existence plays a central role in how we participate in it, and so I repurposed this blog's subheading from "I care about these things" to "An informal investigation into the nature of this universe and more specifically how we perceive it and live in it."
Snarky comments are welcome, as I enjoy a good laugh.
Cheers.
