This is a very good question. The Internet is unbeliviably inundated with opinion, and really, does it need mine? There are not many topics of which I come even close to being considered an expert, and any of those topics which I do possibly approach such a status are but a quick google search away from having a retardedly experienced guru that can offer far more insight on them than I could ever hope to. Just in writing that last sentence I’ve come to realize my complete lack of worth as an organism and not only should I not be writing a blog I should probably just kill myself quickly as opposed to the generally preferred method of slow intoxication poisoning.

However! I also think that when I do take the time to write something down, something I felt was interesting enough to incite discussion, it’s better than what most of the blogged content on the Internet offers, which is more a testament to the amount of crap out there than any particular level of genius I am attributing to my own thoughts. There are some ideas, particularily in the realm of religion, that I think may actually contribute to the global psyche one day if I ever took the time to write and publish them. There is something about the process of materializing one’s ideas in a physical form, even if it is just typed and stored electronically, that not only forces the author to validate them for himself but exposes them to whomever for potential criticism.

Without criticism thought is useless. I cannot hope to possibly achieve the ideals of truth and understanding, even of my own thoughts, without exposing them to others, hoping beyond hope that someone can prove me wrong. Each time I learn that I was wrong about something I not only gain knowledge on that particular topic but I adjust the entire process of reasoning that lead me to the false conclusion in the first place.

For this reason I am tucking my thoughts away in this corner of the Internet for whomever cares to read them or comment on them. I don’t intend to publicize this blog in any way outside of linking to it from my webpage, and through that hope to avoid the crushing guilt of participating in this collection of horribly self-indulgent digital masturbations we call the blogosphere.
