Thesis—Antithesis—Synthesis

Nothing is ever as certain as we wish it were.

This blog is a place for me to vent, expound, reflect and ruminate. I’ll sometimes get all academic and talk about political philosophy or some such thing, and then at other times I’ll talk about my dog (Echo) and my cat (Whisper) and how much they seem to love each other. Or how weird it is that I’m suddenly not allergic to the cat, and whether these facts are somehow related (spoiler: they’re not). And then I’ll write something about Natural Law Theory and why I think there might be something to it even though Legal Positivism seems to make so much more sense. I just can’t convince myself to become an ethical non-cognitivist.

So in the end I can make no promises about content—except, that is, that it will always be whatever I think is most interesting in the moment. And since I have ADHD, that can be a lot of different things. Or nothing. My theses will quickly become antitheses. I’ll disagree even with myself, then decide I was right after all, and then try to find a creative third option. Dogs and cats, living together. Madness!
