The Casual Philosopher

Most people don't have the time to become "serious" philosophers (write a book, etc.); this site is an outlet for the straggling insights that they are able to share. Whether your thoughts are manicured or inchoate, if you want to impart your perspectives, perceptions, intuitions, or counter-intuitions on life, politics, nature, the color yellow, anything!- this is the place to do so. I’ll share insights that I've had, and continue to contribute as thoughts come to me.

It is important to be sensitive to the superiority of doing the right thing the wrong way over doing the wrong thing the right way. Foundation is everything; subsequent missteps are easier to correct.
