We hear it a lot: the notion of a “free and independent people.” We hear a lot of wonderful ideas about what it might mean to be ‘self-sufficient’ in the modern world.

11 year ago
Since most people are not famous, most people also do not consider what being famous would actually entail. For a small number of people, of course, fame, whether it be in the extreme sense or the mild, is something that is a fact of life. By many people’s standards, even an individual such as myself [...]
The Importance of Discourse and Discussion

Throughout my experience in recent time and with the internet in general, it has become obvious that people underestimate the importance of meaningful discussion. When relating the mere act of a conversation back to the conceptualization of personal growth the importance of discourse lies in the benefit of how there is a mutual exchange of [...]
