It always happens when you make plans that things go wrong. Updating should continue without further glitches. My old Polymate Jennifer asks, “Write about what you feel is the one most important thing in life.” My answer, “Truth” will be expected by many, probably, but the far more interesting question remains: “Why?” Ever since I [...]

It is said that Life is confusing, but doesn’t that just make you appreciate those moments of clarity all the more? You know those moments: the ones that sweep away the noise of confusion and, even for all of a few minutes, give you a sense of direction? But then comes those weird moments, those [...]
Anslem Meets Jess: More Truth and Subjectivity
Posted in Existentialism and Authenticity, God and Theology, tagged Anselm, Argument, conversations, God, Jess, ontological, proofs, restaurant, subjectivity, theology, Truth on 12 August, 2008 | 2 Comments »
The restaurant industry is a fast and free-flowing universe, with countless comments, jokes, implications, scattered conversations, and random observations lost amongst the crevices of time in between running food and taking orders. It started with me bragging that I could prove God with a simple six-step proof in an undeniable way. I was very smug [...]
A Memoir in Six Words
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Hemingway, memoir, poetry, Truth on 23 April, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Normally, I don’t do these sort of chain-mail things, but this one is actually relevant to my normal existential musings. Apparently, Hemingway once bet ten dollars that he could sum up his life in six words, which he did: “For Sale: baby shoes, never worn.” How this relates to us occurred when Bookbabie posted a [...]
Truth is Subjectivity: Existential Epistomology

I have had people get very confused listening to me discuss – with ardent passion – the absolute nature of reason, and then lapse quietly into existential pathos about the subjectivity of meaning. And rightly so. Epistemology is something that has a special meaning for me, as the problem of knowledge is precisely the thing [...]
Being Back, And Gold in the Silence

Well I’m back, if not a few weeks late. My book did not get finished, though the first draft is very close to completion, and I am quite excited about it. The reason for my delay was an extremely bad bout of mutant cold almost since the day springs quarter started. Barely got to all [...]
Understanding God in One Easy Step

Lately, it seems to have become fashionable to use the nature of God as an argument against God. It runs something like this: “If there is a God, how can you claim to know the mind of God? How can any one human being understand the nature of something so infinite and incomprehensible?” Like most [...]
Note to Self

Writing Scholarship essays, registering for Winter classes, and eating three solid meals a day is taking priority right now. In the near future, however, I plan to explore the following topics, and maybe splice in some posts from my old blogs. (In no particular order) 1) Atheists Unite and Other Mundane Ethical Statements 2) Going [...]
