There always has to be a beginning a middle and an end, and even so, the starting point is always, by necessity, arbitrary, since things don’t start and end neatly but flow along in a great big continuum of unfathomable complexity. Nevertheless, ‘you’ve got to start somewhere’.
So this is the start of a new blog in which I’ll allow myself the luxury of less structured thinking, a space to explore all those tangents that don’t fit into my phd, but that interest me nonetheless. A place to talk about the things that inspire me, fire me up, make me angry, make me worry for the future of humanity and the ones that restore my faith in humanity and leave me smiling. Most importantly, this is a space to explore, a space of possibility and of openness, a space of freedom. A space in which to lay bare my thoughts in all their rambling incompleteness, before they are whipped into shape, chiselled and whittled into a form palatable to the academic beast. A space of free thinking and free writing and inviting comment before I’m invested in a perspective. I hope it will also be a place for some fun.
