New blog...

I forgot how much more I like Wordpress, so I switched, re-branded to the blog of the future. We can now be found at Succinct Verbosity . How’s that for a new name, eh? Succinct verbosity, contradictory terms, just like life, just like yin and yang - wow, how deep is that? Of course, it doesn’t imply that I see things one way or another because a simplistic world view is just no fun at all. We’re humans, each with our own personalities, agendas, desires that don’t necessarily coincide. Sure, we can apply artificial constraints, set parameters such as the Uniform Code of Military Justice for those of us who served in the military, but judging by the number of people who go through courts martial or non-judicial punishment (probably more on the NJP side), our inherent humanness, our desire to pursue our own desires seems to override artificial codes imposed on us at times. The question is, of course, is our “humanness” I refer to an innate trait for all humans, or is it really more attributable to sociological reasons? I recall a section in “History of Western Philosophy” discussing how societies that mature “too quickly” tend to introduce Bacchic elements of madness and ecstasy to counter the “order” imposed by society.
