Project

I decided to re-frame what I am considering this blog to be in my head.  Not really an open diary of my thoughts and opinions for the day.  (Although there will be some of that.) But also what I am going to call an "intellectual project" where I think about how to resolve contradictory ideas in philosophy, sociology, etc.  The synthesis of antitheses, in a Hegelian sense, since I believe too much of our discourse is centered around diverging ideas and trying to prove one idea is "better than others" rather than an attempt to merge equally good (or probably equally bad, in reality) ideas.

I'm looking for people to contribute contradictory ideas.  And then the idea is that once I make a post explaining how I reconcile them, other people can post their opinions of how I reconciled them/help to better reconcile them.

I'm working on figuring out how to get more followers.  But if no one comments soon I will come up with my own idea for contradictory ideas, until more people start following the blog.
