My mind goes to the cold, yet powerful opening of Pink Floyd's The Wall.
It begins with In the Flesh. The song opens with strong power cords, then it dies down giving a false sense of security prior to the sharp, gritty vocals and creepy, introspectively powerful lyrics - all of which before going FUBAR.
In a way that is what I hope to accomplish with this blog post - to give you a thematic and tonal taste of what to expect in this blog from here on out. It will not be pretty, as I am certain you will see.
My favorite subject is humanity. I am interested in what it means to be human. I am highly interested in ethics, the origins of morality, the many facets of religion, politics, etc. In other words, I plan on talking about a lot of hot-button topics on here that would not be as appropriate on other social media.
I don't believe that certain subject should be taboo. I believe open and honest dialog is beneficial on many levels, from helping others understand that there are legitimate views other than there own, to encouraging everyone (including myself) to analyze our own worldview.
In fact, I believe just about everything I will talk about here will be things that I once felt strongly in the opposite about.
