I’ve started writing this because I want a place to have my thoughts, ideas and questions stored. I’ll forget them or get them all jumbled up if I rely on memory alone, and any place that depends either on me keeping track of it, or my computer not failing would end up with me losing everything every half year or so.
I got to the point where I couldn’t accept what I saw and knew to be wrong or contrary or stupid, the only problem was I didn’t know how to fix things from the position I held (and still don’t). This caused me to go looking for a solution. One thing led to another and I started on a cycle of learning that continues to point to more and more things I want to figure out, more sources I want to comprehend, and more problems to be figured out. I am still very much in the first few rotations of this cycle, and nothing may come of it, but this maybe is a start to having a record of me figuring things out. Though that only tends to compound the problem. John Boyd stated that “Progress is achieving a higher level of confusion” which is as good a way to look at this as any I guess.
Now this still begs the question of just what I will be writing. I do not know. Right now I flip between comments on current world issues and things I read, questions that I am unable to answer and which may not have a satisfactory answer and books and authors I feel might be worth looking into. It all has a decidedly military and geopolitical bent, but that’s fitting. It might extend to other things, or maybe not, we’ll see.
